A bad end to a good story,
By
This review is from: Black Harvest (Paperback)
"Black Harvest" is set in a small Texas town where an annual display of mysterious lights has given it a Roswell-like following among UFO enthusiasts. When one investigative journalist (for an Internet blog) comes to town to take his own look at the phenomenon, be runs -- literally -- into a young woman who vanished three years before and now has returned under questionable circumstances.
The book by Josh Howard (of "Dead@17" fame) manages to create, through both its writing and its art, a spooky, X-Filesesque atmosphere that deals with aliens, widescale paranoia, secret organizations, cover-ups and unnatural pacts. The book builds tension nicely, but be prepared for a letdown by the end. I enjoyed the journey -- Howard is a talented writer and artist, and he tells a good story -- but the destination is a disappointment. Questions go unanswered, the climax is a dramatic cop-out, and I closed the book thinking, "That's it?" If you don't mind a flawed ending, however, most of this book is an enjoyable read. by Tom Knapp, Rambles.(net) editor |
