Review: Million times better than Stephen King's "Thinner."

My grandmother grew up being told that gypsies will steal children and raise them as their own. You Google the word "travelers" and you get entries about them being con men and thieves. I think FX even had a TV show about travelers that showed them that way. David Jester's book is different, he's virtually descriptive like King but isn't boring and he has some of Ed Lee's gore but not too much, only when necessary. What's fascinating is how different people are getting killed and nobody knows who's doing it. This keeps you guessing all the way, while showing what it does to a community that refuses to call the cops since they don't trust outsiders.  A warning to the reader, don't start reading this at 11pm if you want to go to sleep early, this book is a real page turner, real hard to put down. Here's a taste of what awaits you:"The poles were impaled through her anus, pushed up through her insides to hold her in place."Sweet!
