Rating:  Summary: Spooky, devilish fun! Review: I absolutely devoured this novel from page one till the bitter end. Never a dull moment, and it's funny and scary at the same time. The writing style is really different and totally complelling. I ordered another book by Staci Layne Wilson, based on the strength of this one, and I am biting my nails with aniticipation -- that's how I am, when I discover a new writer I like.
Rating:  Summary: Riveting! A great read! Review: This book kept me guessing from beginning to end. A spine-tingling tale told with such smooth-flowing prose, I can't believe I haven't heard of this author before. I've no doubt I'll be hearing a lot more about Staci Layne Wilson in the future. If this book is any indication of her other work, I'm going to own them all. I highly recommend "Ghostwriter" to anyone who likes a truly frightening, look over your shoulder, read.
Rating:  Summary: T. M. Gray's review from Book of Dark Wisdom magazine: Review: Where do a writer's words come from? Some might say they pour forth from the mind, personal demons or imaginings, dreams and nightmares...but what if the answer is something else entirely? Meet Cary Bouchard, art associate secretary and struggling fiction writer. A quiet man, his only friend in the world is his pet canary until the horrors of his fantasies springs to life. His typewriter begins spewing forth pages he doesn't recall typing quickly forming a full length novel to be snatched up by a publisher with an unbelievably generous offer. Sure, they change the title of his book--but what the hey?--Bouchard becomes a best-selling author. Overnight, his fortune has changed, and so has his life. Too bad he didn't read the fine print in his contract....
First-class storyteller, Staci Layne Wilson, has a style that is all her own: from her wicked tongue-and-cheek insider play on words and names to the heart she puts into the tale. She evokes the reader's compassion for her mild-mannered main character--from being publicly dissected by a talk show host to his mounting terror at the long string of grisly murders that keep mysteriously finding their way to him . . . with an ending so tightly twisted that it fits perfectly!
Also, you'll find an added bonus: Wilson's short story, Lover's Eye, at the end of GHOST WRITER: a delightfully erotic, stomach-flipping tale of everything you've ever thought (and heard) about eyeballs, spun into a diabolically visual yarn about artist Iris Blume and her passionate greed for instruments of sight.
GHOST WRITER is among her very best works yet; I'm doing more than looking forward to reading more Staci Layne Wilson books--I'm begging her to hurry up and write another one! Visit Staci on the web at: www.staciwilson.com
