There's not a student enrolled in a creative-writing program who hasn't had the daydream: Why not take a vacation from serious fiction and knock off a thriller? After all, if Stephen King can earn more money than George Steinbrenner by making teenyboppers wet their britches, how hard can it be? Much harder than it looks, actually. Most King imitators find striking the right ghoulish tone nearly impossible. What is different about David Martin —
John Lyon, a veteran but emotionally unstable newscaster, is drawn into a sinister web of evil in the heart of Appalachia when he investigates a woman's bizarre story about a West Virginia doctor who has been killing babies. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This is not a book for the faint of heart. It has many scenes containing gratuitous violence and sex. It's even hard to root for any of the characters because of their many flaws and foibles. Some are really dispicable! (How about a 500-pound deputy sheriff who as warped as last year's plywood?) Perhaps the most honorable individual is the most misunderstood person of all - the dwarf who lives in the woods.
Sounds bizarre? It definitely is! I can't say that I disliked the book because it was action-filled. It's just that it was so uneven and predictable in places, especially in the final scene. But, don't take my word for it. If you like strange stories, with a LOT of strange people, you'll probably really "go" for this tale.
