Prudence Foster knows her way around a plot. She devises a tight horror tale of a young girl spending the summer with her divorced father, Hap, who manages of a gothic hotel located on a secluded key off the western coast of Florida.
Unfortunately for the girl, Felicity, she gets intrigued with the hotel’s antique stereopticon. The stereopticon is a pre-runner to a child’s View-Master toy. Felicity soon sees horrific things through it. Eventually, the evil widens to include possession, murder, evil curses, and the life of the child. For good measure, Foster throws in not only a hurricane, but also a love interest for Hap.
The writing is never excessive or dull, and the characters are well rounded. A student of history, Foster has done her research on Seminole Indians, who also play a crucial role in the book. She includes many details about their lifestyle and ceremonies that add to the story’s enjoyment.
Devil Eyes is a great poolside read, especially if it’s not hurricane season.
