    A Must Read Noir Gothic Mind Blast!

    "The Bastard Hand" was very captivating for me, chocked-ful of the tempting chance of the supernatural and the ever captivating events of the thought " he must be mad or am I just delusional. Well dear reader , that is only a couple reasons why I say this is a must read for that mind blast. Read it through in one night. Still reeling with emothions.

    Terrific Blend of Supernatural Thriller and Southern Noir

    The first person narration is done in a personable, almost conversational style, Faulkner meets Twain with a dash of Hammett. The characters are very well developed, particularly Charlie and Rev. Phineas Childe, a larger than life literary descendant of Updike's Reverend Thomas Marshall.

    I highly recommend.

    A Decent Mix of the Supernatural and Psychological Thriller

    If you like stories with just a dash of the paranormal, and a spattering of anxiety inducing flare, then this is definitely the book for you. It's just the right blend of supernatural and psycholigical thriller. This book is a muct read for those looking for something out of the ordinary, something on the fringe, so to speak.

    Grit Meets Gumption

    The Bastard Hand is a beautifully gritty blend of pulp and noir in a tidy southern gothic package. Charlie Wesley has some personal issues, but the right Reverend Phineas Childe -- hang on to your hat! This man of the cloth is like none you have seen before. His ability to charm, enflame, coerce and manipulate is right up there with Mitchum's Harry Powell in The Night of the Hunter but with a decidedly more modern turn. The Bastard Hand manages to stay true to it's noir imspirations while seasoning the story with the possibility of the supernatural or the delusions of a madman. Absolutely recommended.
