Synopsis
Last year Douglas Clegg took a detour from his usual supernatural horror work with Bad Karma, a thriller (written under the pseudonym Andrew Harper) that won the author a wider audience. Now Clegg returns to the kind of all-out horror that we've been clamoring for with The Halloween Man, an ambitious, complex, and scary-as-hell tale about a small town with deep, dark, deadly secrets that author Edward Lee calls "up there with the best of Straub, King, and Koontz."

The Halloween Man is one of the best horror novels that I've read in years. It's got a great story and it doesn't feel like a repeat of the same old story, like a lot of other horror novels you'll find on a local bookstore shelf. I had never read anything by Clegg before reading this novel, but now I'm going to go out and get the rest of his books. If you've never heard of Clegg either, or are a fan of horror fiction, get this book right now.
