Though it starts off with a bang, Spectre almost stalls out for a while, spending just a touch too much time on mundane aspects of the main protagonist's life.
However, once the author gets beyond that point, the book hurtles ahead at breakneck speed, throwing one intense, frightening image after another at the reader. By the end, I felt like I was almost out of breath.
I would recommend this to all horror fans.

Effective supernatural thriller. Once you get past the first few pages, it heats up and drags you in. Almost falls into a trite trap, but gets out of it and continues down its thrilling road. Recommended.
Evocative and entertaining, the story of childhood friends reunited by a shared secret to do battle with dark forces. Characters you can root for, tension, horror and a real page-turner.
Laws's second book surprisingly topped the first. An intelligent yet pulpy read...Stephen King's It as it would have been told by Lovecraft. Absolutely recommended book by an absolutely recomended author. His books need republishing so fresh blood can enjoy this master's work
