[Jerry · Rating 4 out of 5]

As always, Lee Thomas crafts an instantly engaging story. This one focuses on the ghostly "angry remains" of the victims of an oil company explosion and their retribution on the company's employees. A perfect quick read for a short airplane ride.

[Nicholas Kaufmann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great novella by Lee Thomas, this time merging corporate culture with voodoo-tinged vengeance from beyond the grave. The characters are fun, the setting is way too familiar for anyone who has ever suffered through corporate life, and once things get rolling the pace is nonstop. A very enjoyable, very creepy, and very fast read.

I enjoyed this dark novella. It's well paced and suspenseful.
Lee Thomas doesn't simply write a supernatural ghost story, but creates one that's on steroids.
Bleak, twisted fun.
