Milt Theo's Reviews > NightWhere

John Everson's 'NightWhere' has been described as Hellraiser meets Basic Instinct or Fifty Shades, and these descriptions are quite accurate; though I found the book more inventive than those tags imply, and far more humane: it almost reads like a love story, since Mark is driven by love, ready to face all horrors to get his wife back, because he loves her. Thus, I couldn't help wondering if the true horror in the book is precisely love itself, on account of which the reader is introduced to an unending series of graphic and violent situations. I, for one, certainly realized that if this is love, well, thank you very much, you can keep it. Another enticing feature of the book (for horror lovers) is the ingenuity with which Everson allows the violence to escalate. Mark's three memorable lessons will shock you, and will probably convince you that sometimes you can indeed have too much of a good thing (and 'NightWhere' is definitely a very good thing). Highly recommended!
