My Thoughts
At some time in every child’s life, the occult makes its mark. Nothing truly Exorcist level, but scary nevertheless. Remember all those ghost stories, and getting a little too excited about being freaked out on Halloween? I personally never did a Ouija board—too chicken! Even though I always doubted the truth of these things, they still chilled me.
Writing of A Look Behind Lightning by Sharon D. Ballentine deliciously tapped into that fear and fascination. The book is a trip back in time where mystery and the occult intertwine until truth sheds light on monstrous and deadly situation.
Original and memorable...engrossing...disturbing...Horror mavens who enjoy violence and harrowing imagery will find plenty of both here. But there is more to A Look Behind Lightning than fear. This story of a supernaturally powerful man who can resurrect the dead probes the many varieties of corruption. I found myself mesmerized by the plotline and characters of the book , my interest peaked several times throughout the book. I liked the story overall but I would definitely going to recommend this book. I would surely going to read this book again.
Remarkably powerful...Sharon D. Ballentine has created a truly legendary storyline. In pure descriptive power there is no one writing horror fiction now who can match her. The most literate and disturbing horror novel I have ever read. This is the place that nightmares are spawned—read it at your own peril, but read it you must!
Highly Recommended!
