We survive together or not at all

Dead Souls by Michael Laimo

⭐⭐Interesting, well-written. Fast-paced, easy read. Fans of occult horror should like this. Not overtly graphic. Interesting theory about the resurrection of Christ but I won’t spoil it for you. Right-wing Christian zealots would probably not enjoy this book but my guess is that they wouldn’t be reading this kind of thing anyway. Alot of flipping…

Fast-paced, easy read. Fans of occult horror should like this. Not overtly graphic. Interesting theory about the resurrection of Christ but I won’t spoil it for you. Right-wing Christian zealots would probably not enjoy this book but my guess is that they wouldn’t be reading this kind of thing anyway. Alot of flipping back and forth in time and person which I always find bothersome until you’ve read enough to familiarize yourself with the characters. But, overall a pretty good story.    

I haven’t read any of his other work but this book was good enough that I probably will pick up this author’s work again when I see it.  You check out his other books at his website


Excerpt from the inside cover:   

THE HORROR BEHIND THE DOOR  Eddie raced up the steps to the second-floor landing.

  Here he saw Elizabeth.

  She was standing in the shadowy hallway, pale and terrified, her right hand cupped over her mouth,

tears pouring down her face.  She was staring unblinkingly into a room.

  “Elizabeth?” Eddie called, his voice an injured whisper.  “What’s going on here?”

  She shook her head in a quick panic.  “No… no… no…,” she sobbed, her gaze still fixed on whatever

was in the room.

  Eddie ran to her.  He smelled something horrible.  He grabbed her hand, still crusted with grime and blood. 

“What is it? What’s going on?”

  Finally she turned toward him, clearly in shock, her eyes wide and frozen.  Her body was stiff as a board,

the dirty robe pulled tightly around her waist.  “We’re… in… hell…,” she muttered.

  Eddie turned and looked into the room.

  My God, we are in hell.
