4.0�toiles sur 5 a serendipitous stumble, Janv. 11 2004

Par	Adam Knight (iraq-army) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Sleepeasy (Mass Market Paperback)

I was in the Delaware USO and stumbled upon this book. I read it straight through and have never read anything like it. Although there are disturbingly vivid scenes it reads more like a science fiction work than horror. I don't know what genre to place it, but this work of fiction is imaginative, original, and offers a different opinion (well based) on the afterlife.

This review is from: Sleepeasy (Mass Market Paperback)

My only problem with this book was that I didn't read it sooner. This is an original, refreshing, and creepy novel by one of horror's veterans. There is no question T. M. is a great writer, but beyond that - and more importantly - he's a great storyteller. I breathed a sigh of relief after reading this book because I felt lucky that I stumbled upon his work. Many good authors get swept under the radar for whatever reason... bad marketing by publishers, readers not willing to take a chance on a new author, bad cover art, etc. But the good news is that I've found him, and that's all that really matters. Thank you, Mr. Wright. You are truly inspiring.

This review is from: Sleepeasy (Mass Market Paperback)

When Harry Briggs dies he finds himself playacting the role of hardboiled P.I. in the afterlife, searching for a 'missing' woman. But as Harry adjusts to the afterlife, his imagination begins to spice things up. It creates a super villain for his P.I. persona to track, a serial killer that looks like more than a bit like 40's noir character actor Sydney Greenstreet. Things take a turn for the worse when Harry's 'rat puppy' (read the novel and find out what it means) breaks its leash and crosses over to the corporeal world, racking up victims that begin clogging the engimatic afterlife Harry has stumbled into.

Sleepeasy is part of the slightly connected cycle of Dark Fantasy afterlife/ghost novels, which include A Manhattan Ghost Story and The Waiting Room, that T.M. Wright has been writing over the years. Each novel is a well crafted tale that is a delight to read (if you are in the mood for surreal, reality bending supernatural antics that walk the tightrope between playful and frightening that is), but gain more power when seen as a part of a larger, more complex vision. T.M. Wright is a dark fantasist that deserves a much larger readership than he has now. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful, unique, creative and enthralling work! It's not for everyone. If you're a fan of Dick Laymon, you won't like T.M. Wright. Read more

Very quirky book. This is my first book that I have read by T.M. Wright. It starts out when Harry Briggs dies and goes to a town called Silver Lake. Read more

A poorly written novel with unbelievably motivated characters. A word of advice, T.M.: take a beginning English class, learn how to write.
