Interesting this one, and I’m not quite sure how much I
liked it even 24 hours after finishing it!!!
The story is essentially of an evil family who brought
mutilated war hero’s back to a local sanitarium after the first world war but
used their suffering for their occult purposes. After all this had dies out a
pedo ring with occult tendencies rediscovered what was going on and managed to
harness the powers of the previous horrors for their own uses. The story
centers on one individual who is a tv psychic. His show is made up but he does
have the sight and is eventually tricked back to the home town as the final
part of the jigsaw to allow all of the “spindly men” (the dead and deformed
soldiers who usually have to wear masks as they suffered facial damage) back
onto this plane. In the end all hell breaks loose and the goodies fail to stop
the oncoming onslaught (this makes a refreshing change!) and everybody bails
out of the country as it is consumed with evil only for the one remaining
heroin to take flight to Europe with her unborn child. However, she may hold
the ability to reverse things!! Set up for a sequel?
Good, but at times frustrating, especially towards the end.
However, after a little while and the dust settles I’m now thinking that was
actually better than I thought whilst reading it.
