Afterlife
by Douglas Clegg
Everyone has
their own private hell, and Bram Stoker Award winner, Douglas Clegg,
is a master at leading us down the path to his character's nether
realms of the devil and the demons. The threads of Julie Hutchinson's
sanity begin to unravel when her husband, Jeff, is murdered in an
act of bestial depravity. Julie begins to have erotic nightmares
and hallucinations as she tries to find out what was behind Jeff's
murder.
Julie
brings to light bizarre secrets involving Jeff's past connection
with "Project Daylight," a privately funded school that conducted
experiments on children with ESP. She consults a psychic named Michael
Diamond who dreams of blood and lost souls, and knows unthinkable
secrets. He's prepared to go to any extreme to keep them hidden.
And what about Livy, Julie's daughter? Can she keep her safe?
Clegg's
inventive mind introduces compelling characters in a complex plot
that is filled with bizarre twists including the conceptual reality
of reincarnation and psychic phenomena. The suspense is nearly unbearable
and the climax caught me by surprise and has me wondering about
my own soul. No question....Clegg is a writer at the top of the
horror genre, and classic horror has not gone out of style. This
story kept me up most of the night to find out what happened. I
was not disappointed.
