Deciding to retire and move away from the hustle and bustle of a big city to a small town sounds like a dream come true.  But sometimes dreams are really nightmares in disguise.  RE Wood's Glad Tithings is a SciFi horror suspense story that introduces us to  Jill and Rick Willson.  Their reaction to the town reminds me of that creepy feeling your get when you pass someone on the street, and fell like you should cross to the other side but convince yourself that the problem is you and not the other person, until they mug you at the next corner.As you read on, you get the feeling that everything about the town is off, that the people In the town are not quite right.  Yet, the Willsons get swallowed up in things, until it’s too late.  The town of Parrish is aptly named, as all the issues lead back to the only friendly person in town, the leader of the town’s church, and his agenda is not what you think, or is it?In today’s world, where everyone seems bent on making others conform to what they think and preach, this story is creepy, as it touches on that to the extreme.  Conform or else . . . and the story offers an unexpected explanation.  I won’t give away the end, or what happens to the Willsons, but this is a great SciFi tale that offers a solid horror story, that will leave you thinking next time you look at a news headline.I recommend this book to anyone who likes creepy SciFi horror stories, based on current trends.
