Thank you to the author and publisher, the pretty terrific guys from Dark Fuse, for the copy of this novel via netgalley. A low hum in the air causes nosebleeds and headaches...and a sink hole appears in the sleepy town of Hopmans Hollow bringing with it mayhem and horror. As it spreads an eclectic group of survivors gather together to try and save their town...but what will they be willing to sacrifice and can they hold onto their sanity long enough...I really did like this book. I requested it because I have enjoyed other books from this author and I wanted some great Horror reads to add to this page (Horror) on my site...and I wasnt disappointed. Once again Mr Meikle has managed to absorb the reader straight into the tale...this and one other novel kept me reading until way into the early hours of this morning...once I started I found it difficult to put aside as there was always just one more thing I wanted to know!An overwhelming sense of tension pervades the pages - definitely not for the faint hearted, but definitely for fans of horrific well written tales - it will keep you guessing as to the origins of the Hole and that adds to the ambience - nothing straightforward, logical or cliched here..it would certainly make for a terrific movie. Yes I have cast it in my head. No I'm not telling you. That leads nicely onto the characterisation...I adored all the characters - especially Ellen and Janet - and the author has managed to get a great mix, all bringing their own drinks to the party so to speak. Each one has his or her own foibles and due to the nature of part of the storyline - which I won't give away - this gives an added impact to the story as a whole. Cleverly done.If you are a lover of the Horror genre then this one should definitely be added to your list. If its not your usual comfort zone this would be a good one to dip your toe in the water with...it has a great premise and delivers on many levels. Happy Reading Folks!
