Review: A GORY TALE OF POSSESSION!!
Rating: 4 out of 5

Every three or four months, DarkFuse Publishing releases a novel or novella that stands head and shoulders above their usual boring, clichéd or nonsensical fare, in my opinion.  Brilliant wordsmiths like Michael McBride, Gary Fry, and this month's author, Tim Curran, provide welcome relief from the publisher's generally abysmal lineup, if only for a month or so.SOW by Curran is a meticulously researched and tragically involving tale of a young couple, whose pregnant wife becomes possessed by...a pig!  As crazy as it sounds, Curran makes it work, pulling the reader along from beginning to end with a litany of events, some gruesomely gory, that culminates in a darkly humorous ending.  I would have given this title a full five stars, but to my way of thinking, the actual ending seemed rushed and Curran left out a passage that I would have liked to have seen unfold.  Nevertheless, this is a very good author whose writing skills keep improving with release after release.Highly recommended!
