Summary: A story about giving in to the dark side.
Review: Jack is the average husband and father -- a decent man with hangups like everybody else. But he also has a dark secret, and he's losing control, abusing his son and driving his wife further and further away from him. There is a hole in the attic, a hole that physically shouldn't exist. What power does the hole have over Jack...and what's IN it?

Dale Hoover's first novel, from the sadly defunct Dell Abyss horror line, is a winner. Her mastery of human relationships may be second only to Melanie Tem's. Interesting concepts and a surprising conclusion. Worth seeking out.
