Title: Not Stephen King!
Product review: The reviewers on the back of Moore's first book in this series talk about him being the next Stephen King. Not even close. His idea is a bit 'done before', but that's not really the main problem. Where King creates well-rounded characters, Moore simply gives you a cardboard cutout of the person and then kills them off two chapters later. There's so many characters, it's hard to figure out who is who BECAUSE they aren't well-developed. And because the story is all for shock value ie: many people killed, but we're not really quite sure why (except for the husband of the woman killed as a witch), you quickly lose interest.I bought the first and the second ones in the series together, but wouldn't buy any further books. Stephen King makes people think that writing these kind of books easy. Stephen King, however, is a master storyteller, which definitely shows up when you see the difference between any of his books and something like this.
