Runoff Chapter Two

by Tom Manning

"Runoff is the story of a town called Range in the cascade mountains of Washington State. After three bodies are found one night, the residents of Range and the neighboring Snoquomish Indian reservation find themselves mysteriously trapped. But while they can't leave their town, people can keep coming in and get trapped with them. Kind of like an invisible bubble has surrounded this town letting people in, but no one out. And as this tiny town grows and grows over the three chapters, the cast of characters grows and evolves as well. And the situation they are stuck in begins to evolve in ways that get stranger and stranger...one of the bodies the police found wakes up and goes on a murder spree, and the series then takes a major turn into the horror genre in the second chapter. But by the third chapter you are stuck with a town full of ghosts, talking animals, monsters, and cute floating objects, and it basically almost becomes a comedy for a while until, well, the meaning of Runoff is explained."

What a fall from the first book- only his diverse style switching to suit the scene kept me interested. He sneaks plenty of good redneck humor within the madness but it mostly didn't work in whatever atmosphere it was staged.

I firmly decided volume three wasn't for me once the villain's friends showed up.
