The Bookshop From Hell by David HaynesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A gory but engrossing horror thriller which continually riffs on the Horror genre, almost in a tongue-in-cheek way. I was subtly reminded of Stephen King's NEEDFUL THINGS, and im fact the bookshop proprietor tosses the mention of Castle Rock at our feckless hero-protagonist, high school English teacher Daniel Law, a man much admirable for his integrity, dedication, and love of reading (and horror). He is a strong hero, a true "John Wayne" type, and the fact that he is not 100% successful renders him realistic.
