3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new here, but not bad, not good, decent read..., August 19, 2002

This review is from: Succumb: Succumb (Paperback)
This is not Shakespeare, not Faulkner, not even King on a bad day. However, Dee tells a decent tale about a man having an affair and his life turned into a living nightmare.

Martin used to be a free spirit.

He used to be a musician.

Now he's married with children. Kind of like Al Bundy, except Martin is in corporate America. That is who I kept picturing while reading this book. Al Bundy. Anyway, Martin meets a ...woman in a bar when his wife is away on a business trip. And then his life turns into a nightmare. Think of a supernatural version of fatal attraction. I won't say any more, because to do so would give away too much.

Dee does a good job of characterization in this book. It is light years better than Dusk, a big disappointment. We come to like Martin and feel for him since he is trapped in the rat race; car payment, a mortgage, etc. The one person who could turn this into a GREAT novel would be Bentley Little. In his hands, this would be a Stoker Award winner.

However, Dee does a reputable job in this be-careful-what-you-wish-for tale.
