Review: A Twisted Nightmare For Adults Only
Rating: 5 out of 5

4 AND 1/2 STARSThe Men Upstairs reads like a twisted nightmare for adults only.  It's blends horror, paranoia, obsession, and loneliness in a disturbing story I will not soon forget.  Waggoner always seems to have one of the most original and vivid imaginations of any modern horror writer, and he manages to hit another home run here.Besides being a horror story, The Men Upstairs could easily fall into the bizarro genre as well.  Author Waggoner sets up a very realistic premise in the lobby of a movie theater, instantly pulling in the reader.  The writing is smooth and crisp, and before you know it, the familiar reality begins to slide into something foreign and completely grotesque.  This book is yet another great read from one of horror's most underrated authors.  A memorable and wholly original tale.  A major recommendation.
