Product Description

Can you hear it? The whispered laughter carried by the wind? Can you see Them? The faint shadowy forms that move through the woods near Lake Overtree. The ones whose very presence is silencing the wild life? Can you feel the changes in the air? The changes taking place in one young man whose entire world is shifting, changing to accommodate his desires. The girl of his dreams is his for the taking, the kids who bullied him are going away one by one, and even his worst enemies are seeing him in a different light. His body, once soft and flabby, has grown strong and lean, something he never expected would happen. His stepfather, Joe, has finally stopped looking at him like garbage and started treating him like a real son. Every hope, every wish that Mark Howell has known in his lonely life is coming true. Can you hear it? The mournful wails of families torn apart by the loss of their loved ones? The faint screams of the damned, of those foolish enough to cross his path? Listen carefully. It's happening. Mark's world is changing, regardless of the cost. It's happening.

This review is from: Under The Overtree (Mass Market Paperback)

One of these days James A. Moore is going to be a big name in horror. Under the Overtree is a pretty good way to get a career started. Take one picked on teen: Mark, fat, unattractive to girls but not to bullies, and unhappy at home and add a supernatural power source and you've got an exciting story. My only gripe is the ending which seemed tacked on, predictable and rushed. The book would've been better served without the last few pages.

Was this book worth the money? Yes. Should you rush out to get the next Moore book? Oh yes! Check it out.

This review is from: Under The Overtree (Mass Market Paperback)

Reading the quotes acclaiming what a huge talent that has arrived in the horror genre put an unfair pressure on this novel before I even began reading it.
The tale(maccabre of course) of a small town in Colorado and the angst and pain of new citizen and high school student Mark Howell who at the beginning is slightly overweight to fit in is a creppy story well-told.
Moore foreshadows the psychological as well as physical changed being worked on Mark quite well. His supporting cast of characters while not fully flushed out are not 2 dimensional stereotypes or caractitures either. The bully grows with the narrative and Moore allows his character to evolve during the story, for which he deserves much credit.
In fact he did many things well in this novel, and there were echoes of King in the writing making the comparision not completely unsuitable. However his length and the fact that this novel could have been much scarier forced me to give it three stars in my humble review. An excellent effort with room to improve.

This review is from: Under The Overtree (Mass Market Paperback)

i thoroughly enjoyed this book, and, even though it is not my style to read horror books, i will read the rest of Mr. Moore's books, starting with Possessions and working my way backwards. i have heard that fireworks is an amazing book, and I know that Serenity Falls has been nominated for the Bram Stoker Award!!!!!!
This seems to be an author to keep one's eyes on!
