A rant about books, horror, and the weird.  I sometimes take on my love/hate relationship with goodreads and Amazon.

The Grave

The Grave - Charles L. Grant Now we're talkin'. After reading the mediocre first two novels in the Oxrun Station series, we get The Grave (the fourth in the series). Josh Miller's world is becoming slowly unglued and neither he nor we know what is going on. An accumulation of odd details and occurrences build the eeriness. People just seem a little strange, nothing extraordinary, but just little bits and pieces. Eventually the truly bizarre begins to intrude and we're not sure if Josh is going nuts or things are really getting bad in the Station or both. A great read worthy of the best horror of Straub or King right up to the end.Oxrun Station has to be one of the worst suburbs to live in.Bonus: fornication in a graveyard.
