Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Brandon Waite's late father investigated dark sorcery, but Brandon himself has steadfastly kept to more benign magic. When a series of unexplained ailments leads Brandon to the conclusion that his family is cursed, he contacts some of his father's old colleagues for further information. He discovers that his father was deeper into the occult than Brandon knew and that his plans extended past his death. Brandon is forced to face demons to discover the truth. In addition to providing the requisite suspense to sustain a horror tale, Allie is good at handling his cast of characters, including Brandon's disbelieving older brother Dexter; Dexter's pregnant wife, Tabitha; and especially Brandon's lover, Sarah, who has a difficult time with the way Brandon handles the whole affair. The artwork by Paul Lee and Brian Horton, colored by Dave Stewart, has a rough and realistic look that suits the story. Three short backup stories and a text feature provide interesting background. With some nudity, sex, bloody violence, and a mature feel, this work is probably best for adult collections. It is a straightforward horror story, capably told and recommended for fans of the genre.
