Review: The Last Christmas A Repairman Jack Novel

The Last Christmas A Repairman Jack Novel The Last Christmas A Repairman Jack Novel by F. Paul Wilson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've always enjoyed F. Paul Wilson's Repairman Jack stories and I adore anything that's Cosmic Horror. So I leaped to read this novel but at the same time, I read trepidatiously: because "the last" always implies Finality...and if not "the last" for Jack, then for whom? Or "the last" what?


Thankfully, despite a number of scares, close calls, tragic events, and humans behaving despicably, the novel provided me with tremendous satisfaction, the perception of "a job well done," of loose ends successfully interwoven, of numerous examples of the achievement of poetic justice.


If new to Mr. Wilson's work, you can still read and enjoy "The Last Christmas," but I think you will find yourself inspired to delve deeper into his oeuvre.
