Paranormal superstar Hans Holzer explores the fictional realm with disappointing results in THE ENTRY, the story of a parapsychologist who searches archaic European texts in order to discover the truth about spirit transference, only to find that his quest may well be the undoing of both himself and his trance-medium wife. The story unfolds slowly and, due to the interjection of didactic, rambling asides into the prose, never gains any real momentum until nearly the end of the book; but by then, it's really too late, as the characters act so unbelievably, at times, that they ultimately fail to elicit any true empathy in the reader. The cover of the paperback declares the work is "soon to be a major motion picture" - and not surprisingly, this doesn't seem to have come to fruition any more than "the shock" or "the horror" it promises.
