Leigh M. Lane creates a fascinating anti-utopia reality in "World-Mart" which is reminiscent of Orwell's "1984" and Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451". Her novel traces the disintegration and destruction of an "average" family in a nihilistic world where society has collapsed and the planet is now run by a futuristic kind of corporation.

The personal stories of the individual main characters -- husband, wife, teen-aged daughter, young son -- are certainly engaging and capture the reader's attention. Similarly, the fantasy world of Lane's creation is an intriguing one and, unlike those concocted by lesser authors, has a remarkable consistency.

In fact, the novel as a whole is four star all the way... right up until the end.

Whether Lane felt she'd written herself into a corner, whether she'd reached her publisher's word limit or whether she just ran out of creative steam, the book simply...ends, abruptly and leaving a lingering dissatisfaction. If, on the other hand, it was Lane's conscious choice to end her novel in this manner, leaving far too much open-ended, it was a bad mistake. Not to reveal any spoilers but the book ends on the brink of a societal upheaval and though the mechanism of following the roots of discontent through the one family is a good one, it's inchoate. It's rather like Victor Hugo wrote "Les Miserables" but left out the revolution!

It's a shame, really, because Lane's craft brings the reader "inside" and she's definitely able to involve us with her characters emotionally. But the plot just sort of fizzles out and, to be honest, although it's been an interesting ride up until that point, this reader found himself more fascinated with the creation of the artificial world and what makes it tick, than with the journey of the characters. Yes, you read that right though it may seem contradictory; I found there to be a disconnect between our involvement in emotional life of the characters and our concern (and interest) in what happens to them.

So, as much as I enjoyed this book, given the let down at the end, I cannot recommend it as highly as I would have liked.(less)

Lee plays beautifully with a few of the old horror tropes, most particularly the one about a group of people trapped on an island (or in a cave, or in an abandoned house miles from anywhere, etc) along with an unknown monster (or homicidal maniac, as the case may be). Somehow, Lee manages to imbue these done-to-death situations and themes with a remarkable freshness and an overlay of originality. The reader is undeniably drawn in to the plight of Lee's characters.
The problem, however, is that the book simply isn't that well written. Oh, the prose is just fine. Lee is obviously an educated author who knows how to write. But there's little emotional impact and very little incentive for the reader to invest him/herself in Lee's characters. To make matters worse, the author writes in a third person P.O.V. yet unaccountably switches between characters while maintaining the identical writing style. Thus, it's sometimes difficult to tell who is "talking" at any point in the story. Often, the reader is unaware of the switch until, puzzled, we realize the character whose view we were just sharing is now the subject of a different character's view.
The set-up is suitably creepy and Lee handles the build up of dramatic tension very well. Yet the novel remains almost inchoate; the pay off, when it comes, seems contrived and is never really explained. Lee has created, in part, a mythology of monsters which he simply presents to the reader as a "done deal", never giving us the opportunity to discover what makes the "monster" tick. While this technique is fine under certain circumstances where the mystery of the monster's identity and/or abilities adds to the creepiness when left ominously unexplained, nothing in this novel falls within those circumstances.
That's not to say "The Lamplighters" isn't a fun read for a horror fan. It is and it's certainly worth checking out. I'm sure many readers will be able to overlook its flaws and have a rousing good old fashioned horror "read". But on almost every level "The Lamplighters" just barely fails to rise to a point that would make it stand out from the crowd. This is a pity as Frazer Lee has clearly crafted the elements of something truly remarkable in this book; he's laid some marvelously interesting foundations replete with possibilities. But as clever as his creation may be, his inability to execute it properly dooms the novel to only rising slightly above mediocrity.
The above being said, I'll certainly be checking out additional books by this author. There are enough tantalizing hints at untapped skills such that later books by Frazer Lee may very well prove worthy of higher marks.(less)

On the surface, the novel tells the story of a young couple expecting their first child as they move into a new house which, they soon discover, is haunted. On the first day of their arrival, there are some slight annoyances brought about by objects that won't stay put and doors which refuse to remain closed. But the middle of the night on day three, however, the heroes are under siege by not one but two groups of horrific and demonic creatures, both seemingly bent on the destruction of the young family.

The pacing of the novel is remarkable. Collings is able to take the reader from one scene of horror directly into another, give you a brief respite before "kicking up" the process and starting again. His strength lies in a slow intensifying of the danger and the sense of ominousness his characters face without, as other authors might do, repeating the same mechanisms over and over. Collings takes us on a trainride of horror and, even when we round each curve and think we have seen the scenery before, a closer inspection shows us something truly original and so horrific that we wish we'd never looked.

The book is packed with action as the young couple try desperately to escape the haunted house but, at times the action becomes a little too frenetic. One wonders why the pregnant woman does not simply miscarry right in the middle of the chase due to all the physical stress she's under. In fact, there are times during which so much is going on that it is high praise to the author that, in the end, he ties things up quite nicely.

Unfortunately for this reader, there were times during the novel's most intense parts where I was on the verge of wondering, "So what ELSE is this guy gonna throw at his protagonists? Martians?" Of course, there are NO Martians, just many, many ghosts all with very particular purposes and desires which the reader does not discover until just before the climax. In understand why the author crafted the novel in this fashion but, frankly, I would have preferred knowing a little more about some of the monsters much earlier in the book.

The action scenes are certainly the book's high points; the intimate character moments, not so much. Though the author uses the interesting and effective technique of writing third person narrative through two different characters eyes in alternate chapters, we're still TOLD too much. We don't really get to SEE how they feel about each other much in any organic way. In these scenes, the author's hand is too heavily present and the characters aren't quite allowed to breathe on their own resulting in a lack of emotional resonance in the reader.

Not that Collings is weak in his character work, he's not. But in this case, he's sometimes used his main two characters as mechanisms around which the turmoil of the plot swirls rather than catalysts. They're like stones tossed into a river and washed away when the two main characters SHOULD be rocks, fighting against the pull of the water and perhaps even altering it in some small way. As a result, the don't really change much (and there's a valid reason for that but I still think it wasn't the best literary choice)and the reader does not feel for them.

Oh, we certainly experience the environmental ambiance of doom and danger that the characters feel. Collings is a master at evoking that "look over your shoulder" feeling in his readers. And we're certainly intrigued and VERY interested in explanations which we know will come by novel's end. We just don't care very deeply about the potential fates of his two main characters. We're more curious about what makes the ghosts tick than we are about what their victims are feeling.

But the journey that Collings maps out is quite a remarkable one. There are several surprises in the book and, to Collings' credit, each of them is foreshadowed just enough so that it seems a natural development yet no less shocking. I'm usually not caught by those kinds of "surprises" and in this book, I followed Collings right down the garden lane and into his literary trap.

I highly recommend this book. It is a rare novel in that its flaws, while frustrating, actually serve to make it more interesting. And the atmospheric writing can't be beat. If you are a fan of any of the classic Haunted House stories, you will love it. "The Haunted" is certainly a worthy successor to such literary edifices as Hill House and the Bates Motel.(less)

THE VOID is more of a science fiction book than a horror novel although it contains strong elements of each. Undeniably, it is an extremely well written book; I would expect no less from Talley. The problem for me is that THE VOID works best when the horror elements come to the fore. As a science fiction work, everything in it seems to have been done before -- and done equally well, if not better.

At times, the plot is strongly reminiscent of SOLARIS though fortunately, Talley does not share author Lem's obsession with endless and superfluous description. THE VOID is also very strongly evocative of both EVENT HORIZON and SPHERE. Had Talley been writing prior to those other three works, THE VOID would be a work of brilliance. Instead, however, Talley's skill as a wordsmith (which is undeniable) can't save this book from being far too similar to three major works we've read before. To be fair, there are some minor points of originality--and they are mostly insofar as the horror elements are concerned--but they mechanisms at best and insufficient to create anything truly new.

On the positive side, Talley is able to conjure a lovely sense of eerie doom with which he surrounds his characters. The inevitability of the impending disaster they may face is almost palpable. Insofar as the craft of writing is concerned, Talley's a master and he's able to create and sustain wonderful sense of foreboding as the book nears the climax.

On the negative side, the climax (such as it is) is far more of a whimper than a bang. It would have taken a great deal of unique creativity to create an ending with enough power to make amends for the too obviously derivative nature of the rest of the book.

Had Talley intended THE VOID as an homage to the earlier books I mentioned, I think THE VOID could have worked quite well. Alternatively, he could have taken Lem's psychological explorations of characters a step further, had he wished to do so. To simplify (perhaps to over-simplify) the premise of this book, Talley posits that during long range space travel people must be put into an artificial sleep within which horrible nightmares occur.

From the beginning, those of us who have read Lem can see what's coming. The dreams, even before the morph into possible realities, are interesting. But Talley does nothing with them. There's little effort to explore character via the nightmares. They're undeniably cool ideas, but they fizzle as a dramatic device.

Worse, when reading THE VOID, I had the sense that the author intends the reader to take the book very seriously. Yet I think, in order for this book to succeed, there needed to be something about it that made it (for lack of a better word) fun to read. It's certainly not a chore to slog through; Talley's too talented a writer for that. But it was "interesting" rather than "enjoyable" and, as far as I was concerned, merely being interesting wasn't enough to carry the weight of the book in its entirety.

So, in case it's not already evident, I didn't care for THE VOID very much. However, that's not to say that those who enjoyed SOLARIS and SPHERE and books of that ilk won't enjoy it immensely. I suspect that sci fi readers will get far more out of it than us horror folk will.(less)

The writing is good, bordering on excellent at times. The fundamental idea behind the book, which I think is the quest of three supernatural creatures to find meaning in their lives, is an intriguing one and ripe with possibilities, many of which author J.E. Cammon begins to explore. But the tone of the book is too literary for me, and the style is too esoteric. While I greatly enjoy novels that make me think, I prefer them to force my brain to consider new possibilities or approaches to things or novel ideas, I don't want to have to expend great effort merely to understand what's going on.

I was strongly reminded of the late Paul Monette's work (THE GOLDDIGGERS)which, while brilliant, is very difficult to get through. Cammon shares many of the same qualities. I found myself interested in this book while still not understanding it. Normally, I would take Cammon to task as I believe writing is a form or communication and one of the main tasks of an author is to effectively communicate to his/her readers. Cammon's plot is confusing at best; his characters are too "deep" to be easily read or understood; even his language seems designed to approach in a sort of sideways fashion rather than directly describing its subject.

Yet there is no question that Cammon IS saying something. The theme is an important one, with many levels and one which Cammon has evidently thought about deeply. I just have no idea what it was!

For those of a more literary bent, this book may be just what they're looking for. For those who don't mind "working" to read a novel--and working pretty hard--this book will be a treat. But for those who prefer clear and crisp story-telling, characters one can relate to and a more casual experience, skip this one entirely.(less)

I'm not going to go to great lengths to type out a plot synopsis. Read the back-of-cover sell copy to get a better idea of what the book's about. I'll just briefly mention this novel follows in the footsteps of Stephen King's IT, Brian Keene's GHOUL, Gord Rollo's CRIMSON, Mary San Giovanni's THE HOLLOWER and similar books where a group of young people inadvertently wake a sleeping menace and must confront it, sometimes years later, to defeat it and save their hometown from a murderous rampage. As such, it holds few surprises except for Faherty's particular (and fairly unique)"take" on what kind of monster has been roused.

I've read dozens of novels with this same basic plot and, frankly, many of them blur together. Plot-wise, CEMETERY CLUB is no exception, although it's in good company. However, where Faherty excels, and where his novel stands out above many of the others, is in his characters. Too often a lesser author (certainly not the ones I mentioned above!) would rely on stock characters and trust in what they consider an "innovative" monster to carry the thrust of the book. Faherty doesn't do that.

His characters are not only real but also have a rare quality; they're interesting. In fact, there were times when I wanted MORE detail and more exposition about these people so I could know them better. Even when it comes to the two characters who have suffered from unrequited attraction to each other for most of their lives until they finally culminate it, the author manages to make this often hackneyed and overdone plot mechanism seem somehow different and, above all, interesting.

Moreover, this author doesn't make the mistake--as so many writers in this sub-genre have done-- of trying to make the book an "epic". The monster is a local one and not, fortunately, one which globally threatens the fiber of the universe. (A recent book of this type which I read did just that -- and it came off as completely ridiculous.) This is an effective story of the main characters' individual triumphs and failings which I find much more compelling than those books with "save the world" protagonists.

CEMETERY CLUB is not an earth-shattering, life changing book that will stay with you and have resonating emotional impact on you across the years. It's just a damned fine read and well worth picking up. While never brilliant, it's universally very well done across the board. The only reason I didn't give it a full five stars is that there are two deus ex machina's plot-wise which struck me as rather glaring, especially since I think Faherty's a good enough author that he could have easily fixed them had they been drawn to his attention.

In the end, I think CEMETERY CLUB is limited by the fact that it's a young-people-wake-the-monsters book. While that's certainly a valid trope to work with, it's obvious that Faherty is far more talented that the limitations of this particular novel allow to show. However, CEMETERY CLUB made me want to read more of Faherty's work--which is a good thing!--and I look forward to getting my hands on one of his novels with a more unique plot.(less)
