A Fun & Fast Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is one of those books I bought from a garage sale who knows when and I squirreled it away for a rainy day. After Hurricane Ike and no power, I dug it out and thought it would be a fun read by candle light. I really liked this book a lot. I burned though this book in just a few days lavishing in the twisted little details of the story. It reminded of many good short stories or twisted tales I read as a kid but with a more adult perspective. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
A Story that Draws Spectacular Chills
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Costello has crafted a tale that is truly worthy of a young Stephen King with his tale of a an old man's eerie cartoon strips that are either forseeing future tragedy or perhaps creating them.Scott Bowman, the novel's main character, fights to keep his family safe from the horrific events foretold in the ancient cartoonist's ink sketches. Only, will mistakes from his own past come back to haunt him?Displaying a knack for tension, suspense and character development, Costello easily draws the reader into the tale and won't let go until the very end.
The Next SK

I really enjoyed all three of Costello's works! My personal favorite was "The Cartoonist" and is an excellent plot for film adaptation. All three novels were front to back reads, I couldn't put them down and highly recommend this author to any horror fan!
One of the top 3 horror books I have ever read.

Sean Costello was once touted as the next Stephen King. However, Any fan of SK will fall in love with 'The Cartoonist'. Great story, will draw in until you cannot put it down until you are done. Simply awesome!!! And if you like this one, you then have to read his third book "Captain Quad". Overall an excellent read!!!
