5.0 out of 5 stars
Great read from "The Godfather of Horror".,
By Jim Lay (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cameron's Closet (Mass Market Paperback)
Gary Brandner is "The Godfather" of the modern horror novel in my opinion. Along with Stephen King, he helped launch the horror boom of the late 70's/early 80's with his classic THE HOWLING. It was also the first adult horror novel I ever read and it ignited my passion for the genre that continues to this day. (It's more like an obsession, really.) CAMERON'S CLOSET is one of my favorites. A series of bizarre and grotesque murders occur around a young boy. A detective and child psychologist feel there is some connection to the boy's "invisible friend" in his closet and some experiments the boy's father performed on him to nurture some latent psychic ability. But before they can exorcise the boy's personal demons, a beast is unleashed beyond the control of the boy and it's hunger is insatiable... Brandner's writing is clear, concise, and very compelling. He has keen sense of how to tell a good story and he knows what readers want from a horror novel. One of his best and highly recommended.
