Summary: Saul never manages to let his fans down.
Review: Saul's latest creation is one more strand in the web of his talent that always leaves his readers begging for more. THE RIGHT HAND OF EVIL is perhaps his best yet. His characters and environments are so real you feel as if you are a fly on the wall. The atmosphere he can create can send a chiver down your spine that lasts for days. THE RIGHT HAND OF EVIL is a sure-fire hit that I would recommend to anyone who is not having trouble sleeping.

Summary: A Whopper of a Tale
Review: It's like the Omen, Rosemary's Baby and Amityville Horror all in one book. This book should be made into a movie! It sent shivers up my spine and kept me turning the pages way, way into the night. John Saul's best book so far!

Summary: The Right Hand of Repitition
Review: Well, I cannot compare this book to many of Saul's previous works since I have only read one, "The Homing", and was very impressed. A few days ago I found I had nothing to read and decided to chance my money on another Saul book. The money would have been better spent on a doorstop. From what seems a somewhat intriguing beginning spawns a story that turns into a series of scenes repeated over and over again, and with the same predictable conclusions at that. The Conway family is on the verge of disaster. Ted Conway has developed a drinking problem and it is ruining his life, as well as the lives of his wife and children. When they come to inherit an old house and the trust that accompanies it things seem to take a turn for the better. Of course, that only lasts until Saul pulls all of the haunted house tricks previous authors have used. We have the twins, possibly a nice touch except that he runs off in the same direction with the relationship between sister and posessed brother. The family tension surrounding their recent problems is diluted by his ability to use a wide vocabularly and yet fail to make the sentences flow. And don't expect the one dimensional characters of the town to add to the story very much, not to mention don't be looking for too many surprises. Recycled is not the right word, its too loose. This is not recycled, its been dug up from a grave and re-animated. I am truly disappointed and am not sure whether or not I will buy another Saul book. After the first fifty pages the story simply seems to fade away and what your left with are mere ashes of what could have been a worthy read if only it had been given more thought, a lot more thought.

Summary: A fun haunted house story
Review: This is the first John Saul novel I have read and I am certainly curious to read more. While the plot is certainly cliche, John Saul brought lots of unique elements to the story. I really enjoyed the characters and John did a fantastic job sucking me into their world. Plenty of elements about the book surprised me, including the graphic violent images, and I was certainly engrossed, dying to find out how it all ends. That said, I was slightly disappointed with the ending, but overall, the book is a quick, fun read, but definitely forgotten the next day. I'm not sure how well other John Saul books fare, but I am very curious to find out.

Summary: A Quick and Dirty Thrill
Review: For me, horror novels fall into three categories: the ones whose authors are able to broaden their appeal outside of the genre, those that have more limited appeal, but are fun reads anyhow, and those that are pure schlock. The Right Hand of Evil, like most books by John Saul, fits into the second category. It's not all that memorable, but it's not trash, either. The author sticks with what works for him, the theme of a family of outcasts in a weird small town, but this family, struggling to hold it together with the "evil" of alcoholism hanging over their heads, made a stronger impression on me than those in any of his other novels. The fear Ted Conway's wife and children have of him is very true to life, unlike the fear of the townspeople, who are little more than cariacatures. I didn't care for for the priests, for Jake, the trapper who has a long-standing grudge against the Conways, or the teenage twins' friends. They exist in the story more as plot devices than as real people. But I did like the dynamic between the twins. And in terms of gross-out thrills, Saul delivers, at least up until the final chapters, where too many loose ends are left to dangle. I just wish he didn't have to torture the pets so much.

Summary: Exciting and Suspenseful
Review: Ted Conaway's aunt dies leaving him a mansion in St. Albans and a trust fund with some rather strange provisions. A financially strapped alcoholic, he and his wife Janet and three children Jared, Kim and Molly have no choice but to move in. Ted plans to turn it into an inn; but the town's people try to block his plans. The house and the Conway family ancestors are shrouded by mysterious occult events disappearances, sacrifices, rituals etc. stemming from a failed exorcism that seduced a priest away from the Catholic Church. The townspeople fear a resurgence of the evildoings with Conways once again occupying the old homestead. The story pacing is exciting and pulls the reader right along with it. The suspense kept me reading until I'd finished the book in one sitting. This is an excellent read!
