Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brace Yourself for Reality
Review: On the surface this story seems like your average tale of "horror", thanks to a synopsis that can only give you the gist while still keeping you interested. However, lightweights beware! This is a thinking person's novel. Hodge is a powerful writer and his subject matter is not to be taken lightly. Naysayers may call it "depressing", but this book has a strong hold on reality, which makes it less Stephen King and more Poppy Z. Brite. Its the reality of how people really are and how everyone struggles with the myth of "happily ever after". The protagonist, Clay, is deeply flawed and sometimes unlikable......but who isn't?! If you like philosophy as much as you like fiction I suggest you give this one a shot. Brian Hodge is a name to keep an eye out for. He translates disillusionment and questioning that goes straight to the heart.
