Well, I'm enjoying it and it's very well written and plotted, but... there's nothing overtly supernatural in it to this point. My comparison would be more to Harlan Coban than Stephen King. Lights come on from time to time in the cupboard, and there's the odd shadow that makes him think his dead wife is directing his investigations, but at this point it's an investigative crime thriller.

Aaron continues the deciphering of his wife's notes, following himself the investigation that led her to conclude she was on the trail of a serial killer. And always her presence and her ghost is just beyond Aaron's fingertips.

So far a great story, if not as overtly supernatural as I expected from the author of Ghostwritten.

Ready for the final novella; first three have been excellent.

I think there's an unwritten law of the universe - when someone puts on a clown mask and hands out birthday invitations, things are going to go south at that party.

First two stories very good (the second in particular, The Ground of the Circuit, was very disturbing. And odd). About to start third.

Now on the second of the four novellas - The Dark Brothers' Last Ride, and so far this is my favourite. The sheer strangeness and eerieness of the desert they're driving through is palpable, and the disquiet is mounting.

Beginning to wonder if it isn't more Theresa's story than Theres. Dark clouds swirling, and the patterns that lead up to the events at the start of the book are becoming clearer.

'Teres' pursues her quest to imprint her voice on a 'shiny disc' and falls into the clutches of seedy music manager / predator Max Hansen. I don't see this ending well for him.
