Product Description

Publisher's Weeky

"Clegg's spectacular depiction of New York as a vast Gothic mansion filled with haunted souls gives [Naomi] its formidable power."


Fangoria Magazine

"...one of the best horror novels of 2001. Douglas Clegg has been building up to this level of excellence for some time."

2.0 out of 5 stars reads like a first draft, Feb 17 2004
By David Group (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews
This novel rambled on aimlessly and the writing was poor in spots. I had recently read his NIGHTMARE CHRONICLES, which I thought was very good, and I expected much more from this author. I only got about 90 pages into it before I gave up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good fast-paced read, Jun 5 2003
By A Customer
This is the first Clegg book I have read and enjoyed it very much. He does an excellent job of weaving plot lines and keeping you reading until they all intersect. He has some very beautiful and elegantly black descriptions of the underground of New York City and the Serpent that is loose there. The only real problem I had was too much unuseful prose when the character Romeo was at the forefront and a rushed, vague ending. This was a very good story, but deserved better to wrap it all up.

1.0 out of 5 stars A dull tale of a haunting., Dec 2 2001
By Chadwick H. Saxelid "Bookworm" (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Naomi dies under the rails of a New York subway train. Or does she? Jake, Naomi's childhood friend and, apparently, her one, true love, goes to look for her. Something is dug up in yard of an old building being restored. What does this have to do with Naomi's death? Frankly I did not care enough to find out.

Evidently Douglas Clegg's novel was an e-serial, which explains the fragmented and inconsistent narrative flow of the novel and how it seems more tease than actual terror. It's a literate piece of writing, just not scary enough for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Theme vs. Genre
The ending of this book was bit confusing with the dreamlike state the characters are in, it seemed rushed. A good read up until then. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it in one day!
Not too often I get so caught up in a novel that I read it in one day, but I did this one.

It started a bit slow -- too much fancy writing and not enough story. Read more

"PURITY" was an excellent appetizer for one who's never read a Douglas Clegg novel.

I also checked out this book in e-form, and I have to say, I really found it even better going through it in hard copy the second time around. Read more
