Let There Be Dark

Rating:
Summary: Harris is an excellent story-teller.
Review: Let There Be Dark showcases nearly all of the classic elements of horror. There is the wonderful opening paragraph, foreshadowing the events to come. There is also the compelling near-complete ambiguity of the creature, which persists right up until the book's thrilling climax. Despite a few continuity errors (at one point the male leads swap ex-wives) this book shows Harris to be a talent to be reckoned with. This work shows a growing author, and an author I will want to read again.

Rating:
Summary: Reasonably Entertaining
Review: This is a pretty good book to bring to the beach. It kept me interested throughout, despite the fact that the author cannot differentiate between "to lie" and "to lay," and doesn't know how to correctly operate a chainsaw. (Hey, I thought that was required knowledge for writing horror fiction!) He has a cool, scary concept, though, and the book definitely has its moments.
