THE NÓ

by Robert C. Morgan

"Present-day, Deep South and rural Blasingame County, Alabama, isn't the place one would normally associate with an ancient Chinese wizard's curse, creatures from the underworld of ancient religious mythology, and a snappish Japanese national with State Department credentials.

Yet, a monster hunt is in order, and so is a clash of cultures, religions, and personalities.

It will take the efforts of the unlucky county sheriff and the bitter, driven monster-hunter from Japan to rid Blasingame County of a monster whose only limitation is a commonplace vine that grows all over the South."

Wow -- I'm the first one to rate this book!!! Maybe I'm the only one crazy enough to read it!

I got this because I thought it was written by the guy who wrote Gap Creek. Now, I'm not so sure.

It is your pretty much standard gory horror book. The characters are pretty stereotypical. The editing is horrible (eg, "flame" typed as "frame" and numerous other similar typographical errors).

It's only redeeming quality is that the central component of the novel is Kudzu, and I love me some scary Kudzu stories.
