REVIEW: Carver Pike's SHADOW PUPPETS: SCARECROWS OF MINNOW RANCH

WHAT AN AMAZING STORY! It's dark. It's sexy. It scared me to death! Carver Pike is a gifted storyteller. I'm not a horror reader, but I gave this one a chance. I may or may not have any nails left. I think I bit them all off while diving into the pages of this novel. Carver Pike can write some wicked horror. It's not what you expect and yet everything you want from a horror novel. Elements of suspense, fear, some humor, and even some juicy sex. I was enthralled by the words, taken away by the story, and I may be a reader of horror now, or at least Carver Pike's brand of horror. The storytelling was sophisticated, intense and paced perfectly to bring all those complex and complicated emotions to the surface. I had to stop reading at one point. It was late at night. Dark…and OMG there was something in that story that was freaking me out. I read the rest in the daylight, where I knew I would be SAFE!!! Well done Carver Pike– I cannot wait to read more!! http://ow.ly/i/oMUIh
