Couldn't Put It Down

I recently discovered T.W. Wright while browsing for books at a used book store. I came across Nursery Tale and read it within a couple of days. He is an amazing writing that mixes fantasy and horror very well. The Place is a very engaging novel. As with Nursery Tales, Wright does not just tell the story from one point-of-view, but several intertwining ones. You get to read about what each character is thinking and why they are doing what they are doing. The plot, yes there is one, has to do with how two highly intelligent individuals (the little girl and the crazed murderer) handle their unique `gifts'. The story starts with a man and his wife and son driving on an unkempt side road. They get stuck and encounter a man with a gun. The wife and son disappear and the rest of the story is about finding them. I can understand why certain aspects of this story may seem a bit out there. However, this is easily forgiven because the story is so well written. Overall, highly recommended.

this is my fav book!

I loved this book sooo much. I couldn't help but finish it within 3-4 days after picking it up. Definately worth getting without a doubt! (as long as you like books with silly psychic fantisy stuff to tie together the story :)
