Summary: An Amazing HORROR Novel
Comment: Deep In The Darkness is by far the best horror novel I've read this year, and I accuentuate HORROR, because the dread begins on page one and simply builds and builds to one of the most terrifying climaxes I've ever read. How's that? This book is excellent. It contains everything a good horror novel should have: great writing, a sense of dread, and a feeling of claustrophobia that never lets up.
Michael Cayle, PHd, moves his family from Manhattan to a small New England town where he takes over the practice of a doctor who'd been tragically killed by a dog. The horror starts as soon as the Cayle Family moves in, with excellent foreshadowing of the horror that is about to come.
There is no doubt in my mind that this book will do well. I've recommended it to my friends, and feel very confident recommending this to Amazon's customers. Enjoy!!

Summary: Stay away from the dark!
Comment: Michael Laimo's first novel, Atmosphere, was a great mix of suspense and sci-fi, one of those rare debut novel that really promises and actually pleases and all levels. I was eagerly awaiting Laimo's next novel, and now that I've read Deep in the Darkness, I'm happy to report that Atmosphere was no fluke. With this novel, Laimo will leave his mark on the horror genre as a great new voice in the horror field.
When Doctor Michael Cayle moves into the small town of Ashborough with his wife Christine and daughter Jessica, he thinks that this move is for the best. Bringing his young family away from the big city seems to be just the right thing to do. So he moves into town, taking the practice of the recently departed doctor and hopes for the best.
Unfortunately, everything that goes wrong does and, soon enough, Michael seems to be standing knee-deep in a nightmare come true. Nothing is at it seems in Ashborough. Secrets is the only rule of the game. Something dwells in the woods, something old, something that rules the town with its darkness. What seems to be nothing more than a legend at first turns out to be the horrible reality. Soon enough, Michael and his family are trapped in a nightmare so horrible, so terrifying that their very lives are being threatened.
Giving too much of the plot away would be ruining a great and completely satisfying read. I loved every single minute of Deep in the Darkness. The suspense seems to peak on every page, and the characters never feel false to the reader. But the greatest thing about this one is Laimo's writing. The author has a way of reeling his reader in, until he's cornerned with no means of escape. The writing feels natural and effortless.
Laimo is able to involve his readers in the very story. Note a certain scene where the main character commits his first deed to the things living in the woods. That section had my skin crawling with shivers. And the ending? I had to read the last two hundred pages in one sitting. The suspense never ends.
I can easily see this one becoming a great horror flick in the near future. If you haven't tried Laimo already, this is the perfect time for you to do so. Laimo is sure to quickly climb to the top of his game, where great genre writers like Stephen King and Douglas Clegg reside. Not to be missed!

Summary: Deep in the Darkness
Comment: What would happen if you put a boa constrictor around your neck? Eventually your circulation would be cut off. Slowly the snake would hug tighter around your precious airway. Your soul would fill with fear, knowing death is near.
"Deep in the Darkness by Michael Laimo is that boa. It wraps fear around you and slowly the fear tightens. It is too late by the time you realize it. Once you let the book grab hold, there is no pulling away.
Contents in the gut of the book:
Dr. Michael Cayle, moves with his wife and daughter out of Manhattan to a small town called Ashborough. His wife, Christine, wants another child. Michael figured the small town would be a safer place to raise kids.
What makes this move easier for Michael is that the doctor of the town was killed by a wild dog. Which means Michael becomes the towns doctor. If only he knew, that the job was going to involve more than what he bargained for.
Michael's neighbor, Phil, starts to tell tales of Isolates, which are demons that live in the surrounding woods. They expect the townspeople to give sacrifices to them, for example the family dog. That, or they come and maul one of your family members.
Michael is chosen by them for a special reason and although he goes through the story doubting the tale he was told; he eventually runs full speed into a blade of horror. He does not want to tell his family the truth, so he pulls away verbally from them. Which causes conflict, but his wife is also holding a secret.
The terror builds higher and higher as the chapters move on, and the gore level peaks towards the end. By the end the boa will own your every last breath. So don't read this unless you want the fear to suffocate you!(...)
