5.0 out of 5 stars
One of my all time favorite horror novels!,
By Jim Lay (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dead White (Paperback)
On a cold winter's night, the citizens of Deacon's Kill find themselves at the mercy of a snow storm. The few who are not snowed in come together in the town hall to draft a disaster plan and create a temporary shelter. But something else has arrived in their town. Something more ominous than any blizzard. An old circus train rolls in on railroad tracks that haven't been used in nearly a century. And inside the train are vengeful phantoms that want the town to pay in blood for a forgotten sin. Ryan's novel has all the elements of a classic horror novel. In a simple, but compelling writing style, he delivers one of the creepiest and most entertaining horror novels I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Highly recommended...especially for a cold winter's night!

One of Alan Ryan's Best -- Truly Creepy,
By Sires "I enjoy mysteries, historical and proc... (Chesapeake, OH, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dead White (Paperback)
Deacons Kill is a town that I would not like to visit. It seems to have more than its share of creepy events going on in this small town in the Catskills. While the term "kill" refers to a stream or river, the other meaning would be quite appropriate in the case of Dead White.Anyone who has ever been snowed in knows the sense of clautrophobia that can accompany such an event. Sound is muffled, individuals cling to their home, the entire face of the world is changed. Now, into this alien white world in Deacons Kill comes an antique circus train, on rusted, unused tracks and the horror begins. Highly recommended for those who enjoy a compact dose of grue-- especially recommended if the reader happens to be snowed in!

Highly recommended for those who enjoy a compact dose of grue-- especially recommended if the reader happens to be snowed in at the time!
