As a Vermonter, I rate this book "wicked good". But you don't have to be from Vermont to enjoy it. It's incredibly hard to put down once started. Joseph Citro weaves a tale in which the natural, supernatural, modern, and ancient come together in an engrossing mystery. If you are a fan of folklore, ghost stories, or even American history you'll be swept up immediately in this tale. The resolution is both unexpected and satisfying, beautiful, and sad...the perfect ending to a tale of this genre.

I suppose I was spoiled by Citro's other books " The Shadow Child " which kept me up nights yet, couldn't put it down or the follow up book " Guardian Angels " . This book was originally published sometime ago under the Title " The Unseen " and now marketed under " Gore " .

Sorry Mr. Citro, this one doesn't cut it . I am still a fan of yours bringing myths and legends to us all ...so on to the next one .

This is one amazing book. It really gets you to think about every little thing around you. Is there someone out there just watching you? This is a great read for anyone. You won't be able to help to turn the next page. Great book. It was cool

This is a great original thriller/horror story. Citro again proves that he is at the top of the class in the horror field. This book (originally titled THE UNSEEN) does a great job describing this remote mountain region of Vermont.

Citro's story The Gore is a masterpiece in itself. He once again combines folklore with the natural settings of Vermont to challenge your idea of a reality. Is there somebody out there??? He will heighten your suspense to a new level that you will not be able to sleep without reading this book!
