"Simon Says" is the type of novel that really makes a memorable impression long after the story is over. It's creepy, chilling, humorous, engaging, entertaining and well-written from start to finish. Peter Hallett writes a vivid tale about a man named David who has a vicious and deadly whispers of Simon in his head, a serial killer with a taste for death and destruction. This novel is filled with murder most foul, eerie and chilling glimpses into a serial killers mind and a decidedly unhinged character that leaves you feeling thankful he's nothing but a character. The story has a evocative, gritty and intense tone that is balanced with bright spots of dark humor that bring this story to life in intricate ways. The author does a fantastic job of painting each scene with a fine tipped brush and sucking the reader into the disturbed life and mind of David and "Simon". Overall, this was entertaining, engaging and creepy... the perfect mix of horror and humor to keep you reading until the very end.
