Prince of Nightmares Review

Let me start by saying how much I loved the fact that the main character in this book wasn’t a young kid, young woman, newlyweds on their honeymoon, etc. Instead, you get an old (and by old I mean almost 80) white guy as the protagonist. The only place I’m used to seeing old white guys is when they’re running for some sort of office. The only running Victor does is in fear. 

This book was so well-written. It really calls to mind some of my most-loved horror movies. The ones that have just that twist of something different to make them stand-out. Primarily, the fantastic imagery. Ghost Ship, Thir13een Ghosts, The Sixth Sense, Silent Hill, etc. This book has that quality to it.

The Ballador Country House Hotel is one of those places that will haunt your nightmares long after you finish reading the book. The descriptions of the ghosts will linger behind your eyelids, and make you just a little more reluctant to turn the lights off when its time to go to bed. Just like all good horror books and movies. do.

Oh, yeah, the ending was perfect too.  This is definitely a must-read for any horror fans out there!
