Even when I haven't really enjoyed the story of one of his novels (THE FURY and CATACOMBS) his writing is several quality steps above most horror fiction of its era.Will Erricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285306262078600804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-28363617179350349282015-03-01T17:10:03.455-08:002015-03-01T17:10:03.455-08:00Really good.

To use a phrase I learned from this blog, I always got the impression that he was just as much a housewife-horror purveyor as John Saul. “All Heads Turn…” certainly disabused me of that notion, though. <br /><br />So, yeah, I can see why it’s considered a cult classic… even if I was admittedly confused at 3Fshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343686567224815165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-51358224921802439232013-02-04T21:06:37.440-08:002013-02-04T21:06:37.440-08:00Crossroads press has just released my new recordin...Crossroads press has just released my new recording of "All Heads Turn" as an 11 hour 9 minute audiobook on iTunes and at Audible.com and Amazon.com.

Which, I'm sure you know all to well as a lifelong genre reader yourself is much too difficult to come by.

He remarked as to how his niece saw one of her summer camp counselors reading one of his novels. When she told the counselor that it was her "Uncle John's" book, she was told, "Oh, I guess you've read them all."
