EW's GRADE
B+

Details Release Date: Apr 03, 2007; Writer: John Farris; Genres: Fiction, Mystery and Thriller; Publisher: Forge Books

Grisliest Death
Gored in the face by rattle-snake fangs.

Lowdown
Horrormeister Farris makes both rural Georgia and a demonic underworld come vividly alive. Yet he inexplicably writes most of the climactic chapter in a distracting screenplay format. B+
