McCammon is back and well worth the wait!
I don't know what I can say that hasn't been said already (except the fact that McCammon did not write Carrion Comfort, as suggested by another reviewer). I almost shed a tear when I found out that McCammon was retiring from writing. He, along with Stephen King, Clive Barker and Joe R. Lansdale formed the group of writers that I've read religiously over the years. McCammon's strength has always been his ability to paint scenes so clearly and vividly that the reader has no trouble picturing them. Of the hundreds (if not thousands) of books I've read in my time, McCammon's have always stood out clearly in my memory. Stories and characters so rich and vital they stay with you long after you put the book down.Well, I was nervous before reading his latest. Had he lost his touch? Did he retire for a good reason? After ten years, was I in for a crushing disappointment? Well, I can happily report that none of the above are true. McCammon's latest may well be his best. The characters jump off the page, the settings are expertly imagined and the plotting is brilliant. This is just a short review since others have summed it up so nicely. My only complaint is the book is so good it upsets me to think it might be his last. - an Amazon customer review
