3.0 out of 5 stars
This horror novel just didn't work..., January 2, 2007
This review is from: The Covenant (Hardcover)
Michael F. Anderson's "The Covenant" tries to be a horror novel about inevitablity and the sins of the ancestor pass through many generations, but the plot was hard to follow at points, and well...the ending was bad. In the story, a burnt-out LAPD detective retires to the home of his ancestors: Scotland. In the village where his ancestors came from, there are strange events: stoats going beserk, people burning down houses and jumping off cliffs; blood rains from the skies...oops wrong book, that was the Bible. Anyway, the hero, Al McBaith figures it has something to do with an evil sorceror and his "woman", and they try to stop him, and they seem to, but the ending reveals that McBaith was merely Fortune's Fool. The ending ruined it for me, as it reeks of necrophilia.
