He melds rising tension with increasing menace and draws the reader to a terrifying revelation that will chill the blood long after the final page."I found this story full of interesting aspects - from murder, to horror, to super-natural-ghostly terrors which had me hooked from the beginning. The characters are a mix of regular normal people going about their daily lives, stuck in a world not of their making. A world where each faces their own individual fears yet they don't succumb to the terror held within them. Spattered throughout the story are some great moments of energy as the characters find humour within their situation, knowing that there is light at the end of that particular tunnel. This is not a story that disappoints. It is one filled with plenty of adventure, moments of adversity, and fright. One for those who want to go on a good journey."Ann Brady - Author and Writing Mentor."Kept me awake. Built really well and ended in a nail biting climax."ARC Reader's Review."The story started with a bang, quite literally, then built to a tense and scary ending. But that ending had me recoiling in horror. It was just one word, the final word that made me gasp."
