Scott Nicholson is the brightest writer of American Gothic Horror in many years. His novels "Drummer Boy" and "The Red Church" place us in the Appalachian South, and McFall caries us further into the characters and history that Nicholson has already established. (And for those of us who've read them, have fallen in love with).Although you don't necessarily need to read the previously named novels before this series, it is helpful to get a richer idea of this quaint area's history and the characters that dwell within. I say that like they are real, because at some point they became real to me. A real town, a winding and checkered history filled with specters and haints.This first segment of the McFall series is, again, eerie yet inviting, and I look forward to seeing where Nicholson takes us this time.
