What lerks below the lake?

Paul A. Wood's Hell Lake is a horrifying suspenseful add on story to the popular Hollywood Friday thh 13th movies. What happens when two of the most fearsome serial killers in history meet in Hell? Utter Chaos. These two killing minds the recently executed Wayne Sanchez and the notorious Jason Vorhees lead a succesfull fight to escape hell, and return to the real world. But when the escappes begin killing a fiesty group of college students an all out war begins. With more twists turns and surprises than a roller coaster Hell Lake had be sitting on the edge of my seat, but had be almopst to afraid to turn the page.

Friday the 13th - Hell Lake

The concept was certainly an interesting one; Jason leading all the worst types of serial killers down in Hell back to the real world, albeit through the promptings of a seriously sick killer named Sanchez, aka Devil Boy. The ensuing carnage that results leads the authorities to suspect everyone and everything, until it's too late. The book has some very graphic and creative killings, which made me let out loud exclamations of (shock? surprise? I'm not sure) just like the movies do, so that part of the overall story was well done. The main characters are whittled away as the story proceeds, but one of the more colorful aspects, I found, was one college girl who loses her mind and starts thinking she's Jason's mother. Apparently, her performance is just right, because Jason falls for it too. :) But two things did kind of stick in my craw on this book: #1 - In one scene, Jason is using a shot-gun. Despite the popular image of him using a chainsaw, Jason has never used machinery, except on one occasion, to do his killing. He is much more 'hands-on', if you get my meaning. And he has certainly NEVER used firearms of any sort. So his use of a shotgun in this book kinda goes against his established character. #2 - After losing his hockey mask, Jason starts wearing a welding mask. What was up with that? Jason has never worn anything but a pillow case or a hockey mask. And since the first time that he was actually killed (thank you Corey Feldman, lol), he's almost never worn anything BUT a hockey mask, until his 'rebirth' in Jason X. That said, that's why I give the book 4 stars. It's a fast-paced book that leaves you wanting more, if you're really into Friday the 13th, and the ending is . . . well, I don't want to ruin that for you. ;-)
