An amazing new young author has descended on the literary scene with his paranormal horror-mystery novel SHADOW HOUSE.I'm not a huge fan of horror novels. I much prefer mysteries, thrillers, spy novels and sci-fi. But I have read and enjoyed the works of Stephen King, Dean Koontz and another new young writer Alison Buck. Stuart Land deserves his place alongside these other great writers.SHADOW HOUSE is an engrossing, truly enthralling read. Mr. Land has an inventive, sometimes very weird imagination and takes his reader on a roller coaster ride of thrills, action and twists and turns where you really don't know how it's going to end up. His writing is outstanding and it was a pleasure to read a book not filled with errors, typos and misused words. Truly an outstanding editing job.The story focuses on Aaron Molina and his family. Aaron buys some tools and an estate of the evil P. J. McAvoy which takes a grip on his family and leads them on a horrifying journey. Beware what you buy at the next yard sale! The story builds to a climax which has some very surprising twists.(No spoilers here, you'll have to read the book).This is an excellent read by a major new young talent who could one day end up in best sellerdom with works like this one. Do yourself a favor and buy it. He is also the author ofOriginal Blood, a vampire thriller. I'm not a vampire story lover either (TWILIGHT --Yuuuk) but I might break down and buy this one anyway based on SHADOW HOUSE.James A. AndersonAuthor, DEADLINE
