Summary: One of my favorite horror novels.
Review: It's been several years since I read this gem, (and it's about time to pick it up again,) but it's one of my all time favorite horror novels. A mysterious dark man reopens an old abandoned theater in a small town in Georgia. What he projects on the screen, and how he begins to manipulate members of the town, make for some of the creepiest nightmares I've ever read. Strickland's talent is on par with Stephen King, here. The depth of his characterization and storytelling ability is brilliant. My only criticism is that he hasn't done more in the genre. Highest recommendation for horror fans.
