One thing I've noticed about Jeffrey Kosh's writing style is that it's different. His use of imagery and mythology weave into a compelling storyline that leaves you almost afraid to turn the page, but like a hero in a horror film opening a closet, you know you're going to because you want to find out what happens next.The characters in this story are intriguing in their balancing act between right and wrong/good and evil. Their motives are just, but their meting out of justice is perhaps just as horrible as the crimes committed by those they kill (possibly moreso).It's a thought-provoking read, leaving one to consider: what really makes one person 'evil' while another would possibly be considered 'good', and do the ends justify the means? I think my favorite element of this author's writing style is his ability to paint a picture of graphic violence without going into lurid detail. Much like Hitchcock, it's what you don't see that leaves your mind filling in the blanks with the most terrifying imagery.
