From Library Journal
This fine novel of psychological horror places readers squarely in the middle of playwright Hamilton Speke's nightmare. Never sure himself how much of his work is original and how much borrowed from long-vanished pal Timothy Asquith, the writer feels guilt and rage when Asquith turns up, determined to claim Speke's success as his own. Speke kills and buries the intruder, but Asquith is still there, haunting him--and Asquith is a madman and a serial killer. The elliptical style keeps readers as uncertain as Speke about what is real, what only imagined, maintaining the suspense at a high level. Cadnum's highly praised previous novels ( Saint Peter's Wolf , LJ 5/15/91; Sleepwalker , LJ 2/15/91) have built an audience. Recommended for horror collections.
