The Dead Man:Blood Mesa, ISBN 9781612187648, e-book  by James Reasoner is one in a series of horror stories that would provide a script for a movie reminiscent of The Walking Dead and similar B-Pictures occasionally making their way out of the motion picture industry.The protagonist, as a result of having survived being buried in by an avalanche for three months, has developed unique powers of observation. These powers allow him to see evil thoughts lying within a person as actual disgusting physical blemishes and lesions that are not discernable to others. He becomes involved in a series of activities attempting to save unsuspecting persons.If one wishes to read more than one of this series, it is better to start with the first, or at least an earlier story. I read a second because I did not really `get the jist' of this book. (See also my review of Ring of Knives.)In summary, The Dead Man Series should appeal to the reader of pulp fiction who likes endless bloody action and, for some, disgusting descriptions.
