Summary: Goingback Delivers - Period
Comment: Michael Anthony inherits his childhood home from his eccentric grandmother. He decides to move his family from the unsafe New York streets to the farmhouse of his youth in a small Missouri town. Michael who cannot recall much of his childhood due to painful past memories is in for some real problems. Upon arrival they find hundreds of kachina dolls, lots of local hostility and an insane local man who knows more than they think and maybe isn't so crazy. As in any great horror novel things degenerate rapidly. The family cat is mutilated and shadows with claws start stalking Michael's kids and wife. Horrible faces appear on the floors and walls, faces of ancient evil spirits who are trying to come up from below to our world. This book is complete with Indian legends and edge of your seat suspense. Goingback, with his unique voice and tight writing did it again! He is also the author of the Bram Stoker winning Crota which is another find and well worth your time.

Summary: Another great effort from Goingback
Comment: I was delighted when I came across this latest effort from Owl Goingback for two reasons: One, there was something new on the horror shelf besides King and Koontz reprints. And two, I was intrigued to see how Mr. Goingback had matured after his first novel, Crota. (Which I found very entertaining and would recommend, although I wouldn't call it startlingly original.) I'm very happy to report that Darker Than Night is even more entertaining and engaging, (I read the first three chapters before I even drove out of the bookstore parkinglot!) and it further illustrates the talent of this promising author. It's kind of heavy on the cliches, (including the obligatory crazy old man in town that actually isn't crazy but knows the shocking truth behind the horrors) But it has some genuine chills and thrills to it and the ending is a slam-bang nailbiter. One thing I found distracting with this book, however-- so much so that I actually put it down for awhile-- was a dialogue on anti-gun control measures. Normally I would overlook this kind of thing (and politely agree to disagree,) but this was like a PSA from the president of the NRA, Charlton Heston, interrupting a good movie. It even included a Limbaugh-esque finger-pointing at them damn liberals and feminists who were making it so dad-blamed hard for all those hard working Americans to buy a gun. What would our poor forefathers think about this sad state of affairs after writing the right to bear arms into our Constitution? (They'd be holding onto their wigs and running for cover in the freakin'cross-fire, is what they'd be doing.)
