Review: a chiller that grips you from the start

this is the first novel I have read from this author, and suffice to say - I will be looking for more.You just know the main character is being pulled into something unethical, but you are not sure exactly HOW bad it will be.  That is, until the secretary reveals something is not right in a way you may not be expecting.What I liked about this book was the fact the horror aspect of it really was chilling. Yes, there is blood and gore but it is not just a 'slasher' story, in fact it is far from it.  I have read many horror books in my time (including those by Bentley Little, an author I admire) and this is up there with them with regards its style and warped outlook on the worst aspects of humanity.As for the ending, it was more than fitting, and you just know  the next cycle has just begun for the next hapless victim.Recommended??  Absolutely. It is well written and draws you in to the extent you are horrified and shudder at the vividness of the descriptive prose, but you just cannot take your eyes off the page.
