Sheri Gambino returns to the stomping grounds of her flagship character Lilith with a great new character;the vile child devouring Rellick! I loved Rellick since the short story. But the full story is much more engaging.I see an interesting franchise in the works, here, at least I hope so. Sheri's hell is an interesting playground formighty ill characters. Rellick being the most fascinating and entertaining. The other reviews pretty much set up the story of Rellick.My take on the story is that Gambino has found a niche between extreme horror and comedy. More in a Carlton Mellick III type bizarroreading but with the edge of an Edward Lee story. Being placed with these two icons is heavy praise indeed but sometimeswhen reading the book I could almost believe I'm reading Mellick. If you aren't familiar with bizarro, Mellick works, satire, humor,reality and often extreme horror into his books. I think rather than being placed next to the straight horror, although it fits,Rellick is more comfortable in a bizarro setting. Looking forward to more Rellick, the Devil and Lilith and the other colorful charactersSheri has developed.
