This one is tough. It is sold as a horror novel and not a horror novel, but a thriller with supernatural elements (which sounds like horror to me). Point it, this sounds like a non-traditional horror novel, but with accolades from all over.

I think the cover is terrific.



The book uses a character from North's previous novel The Whisper Man, but I don't believe it's a sequel. More like when Stephen King sets a novel in Castle Rock.

I just finished The Shadows. I loved it, but it's convoluted and involved. As you mention it's a hybrid mystery/horror novel.

Convoluted and involved: That's the ticket.

ADDED: Alex North also writes mystery novels under the name of Steve Mosby.
