Horror novels have big challenges. They have to set up a believable scenario, set a creepy mood, build a good plot, and still keep your attention. A lot of books try, few can keep it going. CIRCLE OF DARKNESS is one of those that does it well. The ch ...more | |

“We love the night and its quiet; and there is no night that we love so well as that on which the moon is coffined in clouds.”

“Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn't see their thoughts as belonging to them. When ancient Greeks had a thought, it occurred to them as a god or goddess giving an order. Apollo was telling them to be brave. Athena was telling them to fall in love.
