Review: Queen of Horror - Long May She Reign
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 11, 2011
Abiding Evil by Alison Buck.This is a top notch horror thriller, one of the finest I've read in some years. Move over Stephen King and Dean Koontz. There is a new Queen of Horror on the scene who will keep you burning the lights well after Midnight. Long may she reign. I expect great things in future from Ms. Buck and fully expect her work to be listed among the top best sellers.This one grabs the reader from the very beginning and builds the suspense with great characters and storyline. One highly obnoxious and egotistical character drew a big cheer from me when he finally gets eviscerated.  It's very chilling stuff. I read it recently while in the wilds of the mountains in British Columbia. Hope, B.C. to be exact - site of the first Rambo movie and a place where there have been sightings of Big Foot or Sasquatch as the natives call him. Plenty of trees and isolation which only adds to the atmosphere conjured up by this novel. The Kindle price for this thriller is a bargain and well worth it. The nightmares continue long after you've read the final pages. I now definitely have to check out Alison  Buck's other novel, DEVOTED SISTERS.  This is not my favourite genre--I prefer mysteries, thrillers and spy novels but Buck has made me a fan. Read this book -- time well spent.James A. Anderson, Author
