A difficult beginning but the twist and ending make it worthwhile

Despite some difficulty identifying with some characters and some shifts in the story, I did like this book and would recommend it. The story follows Stuart Mullond at a particularly troublesome point in his life. Despite it being years in the past, he's still tormented by a botched operation on his penis from when he was a little boy. In fact, he starts believing that he is being followed by Dr. Furgeson, the doctor who botched things. It is very obviously creating mental problems for him as his life quickly falls apart.

This is the part of the novel where rather than seeing the disintegration of a man's mental health into full-on crazy, I realized we were jumping straight into the crazy with no lead up. However, proving me wrong, Garton took the story in a slight twist and quickly changed things up. I'm not going to spoil things but I'll admit to being surprised and liking the new aspect. It took things to the next level. It made the story a little bit harder to believe but once I got past that part, it was great. It also totally changed the ending that I was predicting. The hardest part to connect with the story was the beginning when it's so obvious to the reader that Stuart needs serious help; that is when I couldn't connect with what the characters were doing. Still a good story though and one that is recommended.

This is my first Ray Garton novel and I enjoyed reading it

This is my first Ray Garton novel and I enjoyed reading it. I had read his short fiction before in Cemetery Dance magazine and in the comic book Grave Tales and remembered that I liked his easy-to-read style. Since there is no three and a half stars, I have to click three, but the book is a fun, scary tale about memories that linger and the power that we give them. The first chapter is a five star horror show and worth buying the book for all by itself.

Interesting!

Pretty good. After reading it I was actually suprised how well it sat with me. If I'd of known about the entire book before I read it I probably wouldn't of liked it. It had an odd twist in it that I wasn't really expecting. However, I didn't mind it. The twist is more about the main character, not really the plot of the book. I am really having a tough time explaining this without giving anything away! You'd have to read it to find out. This is my first book by Garton and it won't be the last!

Scary and funny and suspenseful

This reminded me of Stephen King. A lot of twists and turns. I found it funny at times, the superhero and his alter ego. When the villain got into the house it was very creepy.
