Summary: The House On Orchid Street
Review: The House On Orchid Street,
I do feel it is time for me to chime in on this great little book.
I read through the past reviews and seen many people felt the story had holes in it, and or was confusing. I for one don't feel the story had any holes, although I was left a bit confused by the ending.
I don't feel the confusion was a bad thing. It left me thinking about the book long after I finished reading it, this I feel is a very good thing, and a plus for the author; keeping his readers thinking.
I truly enjoyed the story and found it a bit eerie but not over the top. The book moved at a good pace, I never felt bogged down by heavy prose. This was the first T.M Wright book I had read. I quickly purchased A Manhattan Ghost Story, Sleepeasy, and The Last Vampire. Mr. Wright is now on my list of must read authors.

Summary: boring
Review: This is the first book I've read by T.M. Wright and I'd say probably the last as I found it incredibly boring really. I continued to think something was going to happen but nothing really ever did. If this is "a horror few could imagine" then I must be one of the few because I not only imagined it to be much better but I didn't imagine it to end as anti-climatic as it was. The good news is it only takes a few hours to read, the bad news is that's about how long it takes to forget about the predictable story. 2/5 stars

Summary: Whatta book, what an author!
Review: Wow is all I can say. I love TM Wright's books and this one didn't disappoint me. He truly knows how to expand a character and make them real. Plots? Who needs them with his writing. Plots are for those that need to follow the dots to get to the end. Wright does wonders for the horror genre and this is no exception. I highly recommend this book along with his recent publication of Cold House. Way to go Mr. Wright!

Summary: The author speaks...
Review: Yes, I'm T.M. Wright, and I wrote this book, as well as 29 others: At one time, Amazon.com had a space for the author of a book to include some remarks about it: that doesn't seem to be the case, now. Be that as it may (and it certainly is), I note that some reader/reviewers have complained that the book is "elliptical," or "confusing," or "full of plot holes": hell, it depends on the reader, doesn't it. There are no plot holes, no questions left unanswered in "The House on Orchid Street"--it all depends on how closely you care to read the book. Perhaps some of you find the pacing slow. I understand that. I build atmosphere slowly; my characterization is slow and deliberate; my plotting (when there IS a plot) is, as well, slow and subtle. I've been called a writer of "quiet horror," so if you're expecting Richard Laymon from my books, you'll have to read Richard Laymon (who was, by the way, a wonderful guy), not T.M. Wright. I'm not here to defend this book. It is its own defense, and that is at it should be. If you hate the book, I'm sorry you wasted your money. If you liked it, loved it--thank you. It spoke to you. As I just did.
