Review: A drama with just a touch of horror
Rating: 5 out of 5

When I first started reading this book I expected the typical horror story with terror and gore.  Instead this is more of a drama with a touch of thrills where the horror is at the edge and doesn't hit you until after the book is finished and there is time to think.The book is about the relationship between an old man who has lost his family and a youth who's family isn't there.  They form a part friendship and part father and son partnership that offers them both hope and a future.  The horror is in that it can all be taken away.There is very little that is supernatural in this novel.  There is drug use and some violence but nothing over-the-top.  I enjoyed this book.  The author spends a lot of time letting the reader get to know the main characters, so by the end I had a lot of emotion invested in the outcome.This would be a good book to read if your interested in horror but don't like the blood and guts type or supernatural beings interfering.  The thrills and chills are there but the strong elements are the drama and relationships.
