4.0 out of 5 stars Great read from Owl!, February 9, 2000
By 
Carl Isonhart (Crystal Lake, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Darker Than Night (Paperback)
This is the second Horror novel from Owl Goingback and the man is proving to be a master of suspense! Nobody writes a suspenseful passage quite the same way as he does. He really does have a style all his own. He is very light on gore, but he makes up for it with fear. That is right, good old fear. Remember, horror is meant to scare you, not disgust you. This is a great book with great characters. It moves a bit slow, but you still care to find out what happens, and when it does happen, it is great stuff! Keep up the great work Owl!

5.0 out of 5 stars More fun than a night in dark woods! Scary!, February 5, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Darker Than Night (Paperback)
Owl Goingback makes THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT look like a stroll in the park. His use of authentic Native American lore is a plus. Sacred Kachina dolls that turn their backs to you when you're not looking, things looking at you that you can feel but can't see, on and on, this is the kind of book that renews my faith in the horror genre. There isn't a pretentious bone in its ghostly body! Read it today!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well-written horror with great descriptions, September 15, 2002
By 
ZombiKitty "zombikitty" (Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Darker Than Night (Paperback)
This is the first book that I have read by Owl Goingback. I fully intend to read others. The novel is very well written and the prose very evokative at times. For example, the opening paragraph of the novel describes the darkness as moving "over the land like a hungry beast...scurrying up the driveway to press its cold black nose against the windows of an old farmhouse."
The novel is about a horror novelist who moves his family from New York to Missouri into the house that he grew up in after his grandmother dies. After they move into the house, they find ample evidence of what they believe to be her "eccentricities." But after a while, they discover that maybe she knew what she was doing after all.
The book had several creepy moments, but also had a lot of predictable ones. Overall though, it was an enjoyable read.
