The Lost

Rating:
Summary: Atmosphere reigns
Review: Told through diary entries and letters, Aycliffe tells a compact, atmospheric tale that races along to a genuinely frightening conclusion. If you have any kind of imagination and enjoy atmosphere over the graphic, Aycliffe's books are a real treasure. A holdover from the golden age of the terror tale (James, Benson, Blackwood, et al).

Summary: Nothing, it seems
Review: Well, I rarely come across good horror books, and it seems this time I also did. Jonathan Aycliffe's The Lost is terrible. There is nothing interesting about the book. The plot is boring, the style is ridiculous, and the content is... well, nothing.
