5.0 out of 5 stars T. M. Gray reviews 'The Lost Village' by Mark Edward Hall, May 26, 2003

I highly recommend THE LOST VILLAGE by Mark Edward Hall as a great read. This novel brings you to the coastal town of James Village, Maine, a place of dark secrets, and acquaints you with an interesting cast of characters: novelist Sarah Jameson and her young daughter, Annabelle (both are afflicted with a rare genetic disorder); a twisted but driven villian named Travis Boone who stalks mother and daughter with malevolent intent; Doc Flanagan; his wife, Angel; their daughter, Maggie who works for Michael Bannon, the long arm of the law in James Village. Although the town seems peaceful and most of its inhabitants decent and upright, something terrible lurks just beneath the surface, waiting and growing ever powerful. Mr. Magic, a local loner, knows it's there, despite the apathy throughout the town. And he knows why children have been disappearing . . . and what they've become.

THE LOST VILLAGE contains more than just a great story packed with chills and thrills, plenty of action and interesting dialogue. It reveals the secret essence of the Evil that has poisoned James Village. It may make you question your own beliefs about Good and Evil and bring you to a new and terrifying realization of the truths contained therein.

Once you've read THE LOST VILLAGE, you'll see things in a whole new light. And you'll pray that the light stays on for a long time after you've put the book on the shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Lost Village, May 30, 2003

This review is from: The Lost Village (Paperback)

The Lost Village is 629 pages long and I read it in 3 days. When I was halfway through, the book started to climax and it never stopped! It was non-stop action, no lull time. As a devoted reader of Anne Rice and Dean Koontz, I recommend this book to anyone who likes to be spooked. Beware, you will not be able to put it down!

This review is from: The Lost Village (Paperback)

From beginning to end, the Lost Village was a thrilling journey. I found myself drawn into the story with such fervor; I didn't want to put it down. Reading as fast as I could to find out what happens next, then getting to the last chapter and purposefully slowing down to savor every last page. This book has it all! The author meshes horror, magic, love and faith with a whole lot of suspense and a chilling story line. I loved it!
