I haven't gotten around to the Repairman Jack novels, although I have been exposed to F. Paul Wilson's works.  I really thought this stood out, however; I'm not sure how to explain why.  Perhaps I feel that Wilson 'claimed' Jack more, somehow, or that he felt more strongly attached to or connected with Jack more.Regardless, I think that this is the best of Wilson's work I've read yet, and I couldn't put this down.  The writing is sharp, and I felt as if I were more in suspense while I read it.  I would suggest this to any horror fan, especially if they haven't read the RJ novels yet; I understand that if I read All the Rage that I'll reread this, but I honestly wouldn't mind.  This was worth a dollar to get introduced to Repairman Jack; I would have been more hesitant to buy the first novel without having read this story first.  Now, however, I am eager to continue reading this series.
