The author told me this was "just a silly little horror book." Well, I'm not much into horror. Never really have been. But I took a chance. Right from the outset, I could see this was no "silly little horror book." The story is fantastic, a real thriller that sucks you in immediately. I can't say enough good things about The Love of the Dead. It's totally captivating - so much so that I had to read it in less than 24 hours. The characters are so real you can't help but want to spend time with them - and then more time. This is a story that will stick with me forever - no doubt about it, and I'm hoping there's a sequel down the road. The chapters are short, so you know you're going to be up all night reading if the story continues like it started out. It doesn't. It gets better! The writing is beyond wonderful. It's short, brisk, fast-paced, easy and an all-around pleasure to read. And it's different from other stories I've read - refreshingly different. If this is horror, count me in. But I don't think so. I think this is the incredible writing talent of Craig Saunders.
