L. E. Henderson

Prepare yourself to enter a psychological labyrinth that straddles the boundaries of reality and fantasy. In "The Ghosts of Chimera" the talented author L.E. Henderson adeptly unfurls a world where dreams can manifest themselves before your eyes and things that seem normal can suddenly reveal their paranormality; where questing for a ghost can lead you into a parallel universe; and where the oftentimes unseen forces at work in our world can be revealed. ~ But - as is always the case with this author's books - to pigeonhole it into one genre is to commit an error. This book is fantasy, yes, but it is also expertly interwoven with humor, science, and (most surprisingly) horror. I am not talking about gory obnoxious horror, but rather the kind that as you're reading it a chill slowly builds within your spine and races outward to your entire body. Sometimes the meeting point between dimensions can be quite disturbing. And whereas for me the scientific is present in the logical interplay between the fantastical phenomena (be them worldly or otherworldly), the humor arises in the relationship and interactions between Caleb and his otherworldly companions. ~ All in all these elements make Henderson's Ghosts of Chimera a fascinating, multifarious, and entertaining read, which leaves one wondering what of the fantasy is actually reality.… (plus d'informations)

Set in the Greek mythological Underworld, L.E. Henderson's Thief of Hades will transport you to a fascinating realm of deities, damnation, lost souls, and other unexpected creatures. In this novel Henderson succeeds in creating the perfect fusion of modern fantasy and Greek mythology, permeated with classic fantastical elements [i.e. immortality, illusion, telekinesis, levitation, etc.] yet always remaining true to the mythological characters' traditional identities and surroundings.

The author's wonderful descriptions of different aspects of the Underworld and its inhabitants will make you feel as if you are traveling right alongside Charon, the protagonist, as he embarks on the arduous quest of freeing his daughter from eternal punishment.

The writing style, pacing, plot, and descriptiveness are excellent, so much so that no previous knowledge of Greek mythology is necessary to enjoy the story. In fact, if you know nothing at all of the mythology this novel can serve as a nice introductory course.

Add to all of this the author's pleasant and cleverly subtle humor and you get an entertaining and informative adventure I would highly recommend to anyone who likes good fiction!… (plus d'informations)
