Well now, this was a particularly pleasant little horror story. The author clearly did some pretty intensive research for this one, combined with a brutal writing skill, and no doubt spawned from a nightmare. The story starts with the (true) puzzling case histories of certain ancient civilizations, their mysterious disappearances, and the circumstances surrounding those unsettling erasures from the land. Enter the intrepid heroes, the hapless and unsuspecting victims, and the scheming villains-out-for-profit, and this provides the fertile ground needed for a good fright. The antagonist is and oldie-but-goodie, the same devil that mankind has battled through the ages, and still don't seem to give proper respect to. Combined with our aforementioned victims, this creates our monster, which doesn't particularly care who it kills, friend or foe. And while some of the final explanations are somewhat far fetched, and will no doubt raise a few eyebrows, the details behind it bring it to a sensible form of reason. All in all, an excellent read that will not leave you disappointed.
