5.0 out of 5 stars
Phenomenal!,
By David Parrott (Effingham, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night Stone (Paperback)
I had read "Night Stone" at 13 years old and was well into horror novels by that time. After a few years of reading novels by writers like Stephen King, I found myself engulfed in the characters and storyline. I was completely mesmorized and frightened. I had never thought I could get so visually into a book like this nor did I feel like by that time I could become so terrified. I wrote a letter to Rick Hautala stating how much I enjoyed his book. He responded back politely and thanked me for enjoying his work. He is a true genius in the world of horror.

Well plotted and scary, but something is missing.,

This review is from: Night Stone (Paperback)
Rick Hautala's story of a man returning to Maine with his family to claim an inheritence is tightly plotted and scary, but something seems to be missing. The supernatural events seemed unexplained (perhaps I just didn't 'get it'). While the characters, as usual, are well developed and credible and the novel is definitely frightening, it just isn't one of Hautala's best. Still recommended though.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Hautala surprised me,
This review is from: Night Stone (Paperback)
The novel "Night Stone" was a real surprise for me. My girlfriend read the book when she was only Eleven, and she recalled that it really creeped her out. I laughed at her, swiped the book from her bedroom and found myself reading the nearly six-hundred page book in one sitting. Hautala has a very unique style, which I find to be more satisfying than Stephen King's--not quite as excessive. Anyhow, the story is of a man who moves into the house that his dying grandmother left abandoned, and intended for it to stay that way. He doesn't tell granny that he has moved in, but when his daughter befriends a heavy wooden doll, and he begins to have cryptic dreams that keep him up all night, he soon realizes why the house was supposed to go unoccupied. Through demonic spirits, dark tunnels, and Indian folklore, the novel propels you into truly frightening territory. It is a shame more people haven't discovered Hautala--he is great! An I'm not just saying that because he lives twenty minutes away from me! Read this book!
