SYNOPSIS
Evil Doesn't Die
The cozy little town of Pine Deep buried the horrors of its past a long time ago. Thirty years have gone by since the darkness descended and the Black Harvest began, a time when a serial killer sheared a bloody swath through the quiet Pennsylvania village. The evil that once coursed through Pine Deep has been replaced by cheerful tourists getting ready to enjoy the country's largest Halloween celebration in what is now called "The Spookiest Town in America."
It Just Grows Stronger
But then--a month before Halloween--it begins. Unspeakably desecrated bodies. Inexplicable insanity. And an ancient evil walking the streets, drawing in those who would fall to their own demons and seeking to shred the very soul of this rapidly fracturing community. Yes, the residents of Pine Deep have drawn together and faced a killer before. But this time, evil has many faces--and the lust and will to rule the earth. This struggle will be epic.
MY
TAKE
4 STARS!
Ghost
Road Blues is the first novel in the Pine Deep trilogy by Jonathan
Maberry, and was also Maberry's first novel. This was the first novel
I've ever read by Maberry and found it very hard to put down.
The
book starts out strong and keeps a good pace throughout. I didn't
find any of the characters dry or uninteresting. Maberry did a great
job at making the characters and dialog believable and well defined.
I cared for the characters I was suppose to, and hated the characters
that Maberry set me up to hate.
The
author set some nice surprises up in Ghost Road Blues to keep the
reader on their toes, so there aren't really any parts that you will
ever skim over. You will want to read and take every word in. There
is no unnecessary gore (I hate random gore) thrown in just to gross
the reader out. It's really just a great good vs. evil story. This
book easily went into my favorites pile. I can't wait to read the
other two books in the trilogy. This would be a great story for
someone looking for a good Halloween read.
The only qualm I had with this book was one very noticeable inconsistency (and the reason I went with 4 stars instead of 5) was with chapter 16, section 2 and section 4. Why this wasn't caught I'm really not sure, but this was an absolutely great book and I highly recommend it!
