When Terror Lurks In The Next Room.? .? . In a sleepy, quiet neighborhood, Billy Teags comes home to the house where he feels safe, to his mother, brothers, and father. But Billy doesn't know he's about to step into a scene of unimaginable terror and carnage as he comes face to face with the monster who's appeared in his dreams... There's No Escape.? .? . The neighbors are unaware of what's lurking behind the drawn blinds and closed door of the house down the street.? They're not prepared for the bloody rampage about to shock the neighborhood.? Most of all, they can't imagine that a serial killer's next target will be one innocent boy, with nowhere to hide, and only one way to fight back... "Gates writes with such all-stops-out intensity that even Stephen King's faithful followers will begrudgingly admit the presence of an heir to the throne." -- Publishers Weekly
I wasn't expecting much when I picked up this book - Gates can be uneven - and I gotta say "WOW". Very nicely written two character waltz with evil. Loads of killing - edge of your seat chase scenes - destruction - flashbacks - lots of flashbacks - bullies - nerds - blondes - old ladies - babies - gore - blood - shoot-outs - cops - repairmen - you name its there. READ THIS BOOK!
Short review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I have never bothered with posting a review, however I sure use them when deciding what books to buy. So, I thought that I would give back a little. I really liked this book. I generally read to fill in gaps between doing other things. This is the first time in a long, long time that I put other things off to read this. I am sure that the plot has been outlined a dozen times, so I won't bother. Instead I will just say that this is one of Gates best, but then I have never read a book by Gates that I hated!
