Review of Lost Souls (Paperback)

This book roped me in from the first couple pages, and I didn't set it down until I was finished.The characters are fascinating and the story is unpredictable and exciting.No fluff in this text either.I kept waiting for that lull that comes in the middle of so many books I've read, but it never came.Just an explosive climax that brought the whole thing together.Very dark and intense, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy, horror, short stories, or really any other type of fiction.It's intelligent and thought provoking, but still a quick and easy read.Can't wait for more from Dan Krajewski, this is a truly incredible book!

Product Description
Meet the Lost Souls. Clive would be just a normal guy, if he weren't constantly assaulted telepathically by the thoughts and feelings of everyone around him. Catherine is a lot like someone you might know, until she abandons her successful career as a businesswoman and takes to the road with practically nothing but the clothes on her back. Razer is the cutest little girl you'll ever see, even when she's drinking your blood and hiding from the sunlight. Ander is a typical teenager who ran away from home with his girlfriend, except for his constant terror of fading away and being haunted by nightmares from another dimension.

They don't know each other, and they don't know their lives are all connected, but they're in for the ride of their lives in this intriguing story of psychological horror, sorrow, and seeking redemption. A look underneath the surface of everyday life reveals the secret, dark spiderweb of influence we all weave around each other.

Review of The Right Hand of Evil (Mass Market Paperback)

When alcoholic Ted Conway inherits his ancestral home in Louisiana, after the death of an estranged aunt, wife Janet accepts the move as the last chance for the family to stay together. She's almost immediately disappointed, however, and makes plans to leave with their three children and their dog. Then Ted has a remarkable healing, bringing about sobriety, and returning him to the man Janet fell in love with years ago.

The small town of St. Albans doesn't welcome the Conways. The communities' memories and rumors of the wrongs and evils perpetrated by the Conways extends even to the children. The house is said to be haunted. Certainly something evil exists within its foundations, a miasma that aims to mutilate and destroy that which is good or innocent. Ted's remarkable healing as result of the touch of evil will cost both his own soul, and possibly the soul of his son.

The estranged Aunt Cora who passed the house to Ted also passed the family bible to the parish priest. Within its pages are the recordings of the generations of Conway women who know the secret of the house's evil. As father Devlin discovers the tragic stories and locates the missing pages, the generations of evil begun at the hands of a priest lead him to the Conway house to aid the fight against a monstrous evil.

Having checked out the many of reviews at, I find it interesting that the higher marks come from readers like myself who haven't read a lot of John Saul's work. THE RIGHT HAND OF EVIL heavy grounding in Catholicism and Satanism won't be to everyone's taste, nevertheless, I found Saul's approach fascinating and addictive. The convoluted and twisted plot kept the pages turning quickly, and I find the origin of the evil within the Conway house fascinating. A remarkable tale in detail, such as the painted garden in the dining room, and rich characterization, I recommend THE RIGHT HAND OF EVIL.
