Just when you thought Douglas Clegg couldn't get better and couldn't beat his excellent THE HALLOWEEN MAN, THE NIGHTMARE CHRONICLES and YOU COME WHEN I CALL YOU - he churns out his best yet!
For readers unfamiliar with Douglas Clegg's e-serial novel NIGHTMARE HOUSE, this serves as an excellent introduction to his Harrow Mythos.
And for readers of the e-serial, this is a fine return to their favorite house of horrors.
For Harrow just happens to be a haunted house - a Hudson Valley monstrosity one could easily imagine as part of some weird subdivision of Hell, nestled between Jackson's Hill House and the Overlook Hotel.
But this time around, Harrow's heyday as a mansion has long ended. It's now a private boarding school.
Enter Jim Hook, a sympathetic and realistically portrayed adolescent. Jim's father and brother both attended Harrow and Jim's about to encounter both the haunting of Harrow and the secret and mysterious Cadaver Society.
What Jim finds within Harrow threatens to tear his world apart...
To go into too much into detail on the plot would ruin the story's surprises, but needless to say, you'll find yourself jumping at some of the twists.
By narrowing down the focus to Jim's personal encounters with Harrow's mysteries, Clegg has created a very successful novel, where the horror is eerily claustrophobic. But there are also tantalizing glimpses of the hold Harrow has on others, showing just how deeply the house's roots of evil are sunk into the cursed soil of Watch Point.
Foremost a novel about the loss of innocence, this is another wonderful story from Clegg, who continues to prove he is writing some of the best horror being published today.
Mischief is a tight, fast-paced story that is compelling from the opening prologue to its conclusion and you'll remember it long after you finish it.
