Title: Not for Jason purists - this is an intellectual horror story!
Review: If you're looking for just slasher gore and the usual horror-movie thrill, you're not going to like this book - that's what I gather from reading other reviews. If, on the other hand, you like a Dickens-esque story frame, with lots of character description and background, leading up to the action and story's conclusion, the plot and storyline become quickly apparent. Even better if you can pick up on, and like, the author's quirky ancedotes and allusions to time periods both past and present. This is an intellectual horror story, so if slasher gore is solely what you crave, I suggest you look elsewhere. If you have the mind to be pleasantly surprised by this author's clever turn of phrase and semi-autobiographical write-ins, then you'll find this story to be right up your alley. I found it be be quite enjoyable and well worth my time to read.
