Customer Reviews

Love this book

If you haven't read an Owl Goingback book you need to! I love his flow. I would compare him to Stephen King BUT easier to follow. He hooks your attention and keeps it till the last page

SPOOKY! Had Me Looking Under My Bed At Night!

This book is by far my favorite from Goingback. Finally a book that delivers chills down your spine! Great for reading at night but beware don't read it alone!!!

Darker Than Night

This novel is as good as mr. Goingback's first horror novel Crota. A novelist, a haunted house and lots of Indian lore. Fun! Fun! Fun!

darker than night

This is just a great book written in a well paced style. Mr. Goingback may well be the best new horror writer in years. Readers will find Michael Anthony and his displaced family an interesting group. You will also meet some interesting characters in the local sheriff, an old Indian and a preacher who does not practice what he preaches.

More fun than a night in dark woods! Scary!

Owl Goingback makes THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT look like a stroll in the park. His use of authentic Native American lore is a plus. Sacred Kachina dolls that turn their backs to you when you're not looking, things looking at you that you can feel but can't see, on and on, this is the kind of book that renews my faith in the horror genre. There isn't a pretentious bone in its ghostly body! Read it today!

Goingback Delivers - Period

Michael Anthony inherits his childhood home from his eccentric grandmother. He decides to move his family from the unsafe New York streets to the farmhouse of his youth in a small Missouri town. Michael who cannot recall much of his childhood due to painful past memories is in for some real problems. Upon arrival they find hundreds of kachina dolls, lots of local hostility and an insane local man who knows more than they think and maybe isn't so crazy. As in any great horror novel things degenerate rapidly. The family cat is mutilated and shadows with claws start stalking Michael's kids and wife. Horrible faces appear on the floors and walls, faces of ancient evil spirits who are trying to come up from below to our world. This book is complete with Indian legends and edge of your seat suspense. Goingback, with his unique voice and tight writing did it again! He is also the author of the Bram Stoker winning Crota which is another find and well worth your time.
