Spook Rock
Paquale Monroe
Spook Rock is a book that is both strange and mystifying at the same time. You’ll get the impression that you’re reading a monster book if you look at the front cover, and you won’t get much of an idea of the book from the back cover. (I personally think that what Pasquale did was a good marketing strategy, good on you Pat!) But this is a REALLY good book, to say the least.
Brad Banning is the main character in this book, and he’s just opened his film production company. He and his crew of film people decide to do a documentary on ‘Spook Rock,’ a local legend that is surrounded with scarce truths of the Salem Witchcraft Trials.
When they get settled in and the crew goes to a local place to get some food and drink, an old man starts talking to them about Spook Rock and about how the place is evil, and about how should they stay away from the place.
The man dies and the crew gets even more creeped out . . .
And then there’s a strange, mysterious woman that is following around the crew.
I really liked this book, but it is a lengthy read, but I like my books that way. It’s full of things that make different varieties of horror good: witches, zombies, Greek mythology; all of that good stuff is in this book. The book is beautifully written, and you’re cheating yourself out of a good read it you don’t pick this book up.
I can’t wait to read some more of Pasquale Monroe’s fiction.
