Eerie,

This review is from: Darkside (Hardcover)
Doug loves his family. He's been a wonderful father to his step daughters and he does his best to keep his family safe and happy. Daughter Erin reaches out for comfort from teen angst and finds all the wrong influences. Doug must enter a dark, surrealistic world to save his family; he is taken to the utmost limits to see how far he will go for the people he loves.Etchison is an amazing horror writer. His work is always a treat, and this novel does not disappoint. Be warned: this is a dark story with a not-so-uplifting message. Still, to get your hands on anything written by an author recommended by Stephen King, Charles Grant, Peter Straub, etc. is definitely worth the effort.

Without spoilers, here's the plot: A decent beginning leads to a plodding middle section and an overly-metaphysical ending. The End. Etchison is better than this. Grab one of his short story collections to get familiar with his work and read this later as a curiosity.
