Revelation 9

Summary: A Real Goose Bumper
Review: Don't read this one in the dark, especially you gals. I tried reading it in bed and I ended up listening in apprehension for any strange creaks or footsteps in the house. Mr. Covington is as good as Stephen King or Dean Koontz or John Saul. He can really put supernatural fear on the printed page.

Summary: Revelation 9 Freaked Me Out
Review: I am amazed at how versatile a writer H. A. Covington is! The first book of his I read, given to me by a friend, was his beautiful love story "The Stars In Their Path", and then I read "Revelation 9" and find it's a totally freaky and chilling ghost story in the best Stephen King tradition! I am going to order the rest of Mr. Covington's books as well as copies of this one and "The Stars". I can see why they call him an "underground cult novelist"; I am well on the way to becoming a disciple myself.

Summary: quirky and cool
Review: This oddity provides constant surprises. Beginning with a very standard and cliched plot - the heroine must return to claim her accursed homestead - it is full of enough biblical and fundamental Christian perspective to make me wonder whether it was from a religious publisher. Yet it manages to be pretty creepy, and the ending is a real surprise, in my opinion, given the initial tenor of the tale. Decently written, kept me turning pages through it's simple plot with scary episodes. A step above ordinary cheesy horror.
