A.J.Matthews delivers with a twist, in this deeply haunting story of a woman surviving a near fatal car accident that leaves her with visions and voices from the grave. She can't fathom the idea of these haunting voices trying to come through her for helping them rest in peace. The atmosphere is thick with mystery, suspense, and horror. Leading to a denouement that will knock you off the chair. A truly haunting novel that will have the reader thinking twice about the hereafter. A.J.Matthews is the pseudonym of a New Englander author Rick Hautala. An author that was taken from us too soon. I recommend you read his other tales.

A deeply disturbing and intense novel, Follow is the story of a woman being pursued by an unknown killer as well as something that isn't exactly human anymore. Tight, well-written suspense, this book can appeal to those who enjoy ghost stories and general supernatural thrillers.
The only drawback of this book is that Matthews (the pen name for '80s horror novel rock star Rick Hautala) is rather repetitive throughout the book. The main character was forever having an identity crisis of one form or another, and the character was constantly thinking the same thoughts. The book would have been well served with less circular plot development.
All in all, recommended.

This book was odd and just slightly on the scary side, but I had such a hard time getting into the book and then trying to keep up with what was going on what was real and wasn't was confusing and distracted me from the whole plot. It was a well written peice I'll admit, the plot was extremely complicated and the lead woman was not really likeable honestly.
Ohh well if you like long, complicated ,confusing stories this is the one for you.

This book nearly lost me more than once. It skipped around a lot, skirting reality and dreams. Once I got used to that, it was a very good read.

Another cool story and a hard to put down title. It definitely pulled me into a different world and kept me out of my own for a while.
