Anticipation. Not the kind where you are impatiently waiting for the ketchup to come out of the bottle. I’m talking real anticipation, the kind you find in a really good book. The kind you find in a page-turner, where you can hardly wait for what happens next. You finally finish the book, completely satisfied, and realize that you’ve been holding your breath the entire time.Ralph Pincus, Occultist Extraordinaire has this level of anticipation as it takes you through a journey both hilarious and terrifying. Lambert’s prose exudes a crafty wickedness, a joyful gleam of malice, which constantly sees how far the reader can be pushed. It is challenging, but infinitely rewarding. I found the story enthralling; it gripped my curiosity and wouldn’t let go, like a dog worrying its favorite bone.Ralph Pincus, Occultist Extraordinaire isn’t merely good; it is unforgettable. It is a book that makes you want to re-read it immediately upon finishing, a fun house ride you don’t want to see end.
