Title: Don't call me horror!
Review: To catagorize this book in the horror genre would be misleading and disappointing. Even though something horrible does happen to the women of Dry Falls, fans of classic pop horror authors such as King, Koontz, Barker and Rice might not find the book "meaty" enough. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed this book (even though I myself am a horror fan) and found it a refreshing read since it is rather short. The dialogue is clipped but this may be due to the New England dialect, and by extension, the New England culture portayed in the book. There are very good descriptions of the psychological make-up of the main characters and I found the relationship between the main character's mother and sister thoughtful and compelling.
Is the review positive or negative?
