I've heard only good things about this author's writing, and to my surprise found that I have two of her books on my kindle. Yes, I have so many books on my kindle I'm constantly surprised at my discoveries. Anyway, "Dark Road" turned out to be a terrific read. It's chilling, original, unpredictable and void of mushy romance. Exactly the way I like it. What really stood out for me is how well the characters and the setting for their nightmarish ordeal were constructed, considering that this is quite a short read. I can clearly see why Farrar's books are so popular. A story about a folk legend thousands of years old coming to life for one night to terrorize a busload of tourists on the back roads of Cambodia, is simply fascinating and frightening. I loved it. I'm positive any red-blooded horror / paranormal fan will be delighted by this novel!
