Summary: Don't Miss This Halloween Horror Novel
Review: This limited edition novel from Cemetery Dance publications is a great piece of fiction. Sarrantonio, who wrote the Halloween novel "October" some years back and edited perhaps the greatest collection of short stories by popular genre authors "999", returns with a powerful short novel about a force of evil that exists in the town of "Orangefield". The characters are all well rounded despite minimal characterization (less is more) and we care about what happens to each of them, even the ones we want to see lose. The author's prose has a flow to it that is hard to find in so much genre fiction, and he takes a theme that has been done time and again and puts some new and interesting spins on it. This one is worth the price, and I hope to see more new works of this quality from the author in the near future.
