It's a derivative horror show filled with hackneyed dialogue and cardboard protagonists which spends far too many pages giving long-winded lectures on everything from the sewer system of greater London and H. P. Lovecraft's adolescence to the psychology of monster movies. One of the heroes, RCMP officer Zinc Chandler (Zinc? seriously...?) is even described as possessing "rugged good looks" and "chiseled features"...it doesn't get much more generic than that. And then it dawned on me, this is essentially an 80s slasher flick in book form! Suddenly all that dime store psychoanalysis, tawdry sex, and over-the-top gore made perfect sense as did the story's SMH resolution and pair of last minute twists. With this in mind I would recommend "Ghoul" to anyone who enjoyed sitting in a darkened theatre munching popcorn while watching Freddy Kreuger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers carve people up. I know I did... :) ( ) This was interesting. The villain is bad, the hero is, well, there. The horror and gore elements were pretty good, but the characters are a little flat, and there seemed to be a lot more of them than were actually necessary. I figured it out on page 195, and the multiple personality shtick is pretty old and tired. Having said all that, I'll look for another at the library. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
