The usual Charles Grant - Wonderful
Charles L. Grant was one of the finest, if not the finest, writers of modern horror. He was so talented that he didn't have to rely on superflous sex, or gratuitious violence. Instead, he told a story, developed characters and made you, the reader, part of the story. The Grave is no exception. It is another Oxrun Station story, which is my all time favorite fictional...

I was unimpressed by this book. The hero's occupation of hunting down all sorts of unusual objects for his clients was interesting, but nothing much happens for many many pages, and when the mystery develops it's not that gripping. Well written, but the plot doesn't satisfy. Plus the twist at the end wasn't a surprise.

This review is from: The Grave (Paperback)
Charles L. Grant was one of the finest, if not the finest, writers of modern horror. He was so talented that he didn't have to rely on superflous sex, or gratuitious violence. Instead, he told a story, developed characters and made you, the reader, part of the story. The Grave is no exception. It is another Oxrun Station story, which is my all time favorite fictional place, and like all the others, it makes you care. Grant was a master story teller as well as an exceptional writer and word master. He is sorely missed, but fortunately, his wonderful stories are still in print and easily accessible. Read him. You will NOT be sorry
