For The Evil Returned is the story of Jeff and Angela, who have been married only a short time and have already faced struggles, as most couples do. I found this pair endearing and easy to relate to, which is not always the case with couples in horror novels, who sometimes feel contrived or forced into an ill-fated outline. I don't want to spoil anything, but as you might imagine, we get to know these two characters and get a glimpse inside their marriage just before things take a turn for the worse and pure evil challenges their bond.
Compare a book to a house. A strong storyline is the foundation, framework, and roof. No matter how an author excels at creating believable characters, no matter how they draw out the suspense, without a compelling storyline... forget about it. Those others elements are the stairs, the windows, the carpeting. But a good plot? That's what builds a house... er... a story.
The storyline in For The Evil Returned is very well-built. That's what stands out to me. The twists and turns, the mysteries, the themes that weave together: I can picture it all as a blueprint in the author's mind before he ever began constructing.
The horror comes at you from all directions: a human monster, the likes of whom might exist next door, tortured ghosts, real-life betrayal and ever-lurking evil. There's definitely a good mixture of darkness here.
For The Evil Returned won't disappoint. Jackson Sullivan has done exceedingly well at grabbing my attention and holding it, offering pieces of the puzzle here and there to entice the reader further. I suspect he has some other great titles on the market, and I'll be on the lookout for them. A satisfying read.
