Mister Slaughter by Robert McCammon
The story itself is a rather interesting tale of murder and mystery. It has similarities to modern serial killer tales, but the setting makes it very fresh and interesting.
McCammon does a good turn in describing the world of the American Colonies before the French and Indian war. People are just people, [...]

The Girl with Glass Feet: A Novel by Ali Shaw

Hot book titles create excitement, anticipation and enthusiasm for more. You want your titles [...]

The ability to read and share ideas and information with one another through written language is really amazing when it’s broken down into its purest form. Many of us take that gift for granted. While it is [...]

I’m a huge fan of Robert McCammon. I’ve loved everything of his I’ve read. This, however is one I haven’t got around to reading yet. I would pick it up, as I own it, but right now I’m speeding through The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty!
Two other great McCammon horror novels are Swan Song and The Wolf’s Hour – he is a fantastic author, another who made the leap from horror to other facets of fiction, like Mystery and Crime – his most recent novels are detective novels (which incorporate horror and other genres) set in colonial America – brilliant stuff. (Speaks The Nightbird, The Queen of Bedlam & the forthcoming Mr. Slaughter)
