 Ghoul seemed quite the collage of all the horrific things we've come to know horror as. The book was well written and an easy read that kept the tips of your finger readily pressing the corners of the next page. Brian Keene seems to enjoy dipping his quill into the bloody dark depths of sex, gore and monstrous beings with a dash of salt on the wounds of a world gone wrong. After reading Ghoul it is hard to compare Keene's work to one or two specific authors but I guarantee you will enjoy the wicked ride through the twilight zone he creates for his readers. Keene is on the rise and favored to be a daunting shadow for greats such as Stephen King and John Saul. ~ Kristy Tallman, Author of The All-Soul's Faire.
