Stickmen by Edward Lee

I've read and enjoyed several of Edward Lee's books, but I liked this one better than any of the rest. The story was exciting and the characters were well developed and people I could care about what happened to. It reminded me of the way Stephen King used to write (the shining, the stand, etc) back before he started spending so much time in his stories beating me over the head with his liberal viewpoints.

Slither by Ed Lee

Another excellent book by Edward Lee. Certainly not classical literature, but still, a fun story with good character development. Normally I find myself getting burned out on an author after reading two or three books of their books in a row. But I've read several of Lee's books and the characters and stories are always different enough to keep me coming back for another.

Pages Torn From a Travel Journal by Edward Lee

So I've been reading Edward lee books for quite a while now (this being #14) and have generally been a fan of his works, including his other Lovecraftian novels so was intrigued by this one.

The story is based around some notes wrote in a journal by "Howard" which are found in a bus waste bin. It follows his adventures in rural America after his bus breaks down in a small hilltown area, complete with the standard rednecks, depravity and a carnival. The rest I'll leave up to you to explore :)

It's a bit of a strange tale in the end, this time the mix of Lovecraftian writing along with Edward Lee's ability to create a dark, twisted world don't mix. I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy the tale, but it just didn't impress me like lee's other novels have done before.

So that being said, if your a fan of Lee's works then you'll enjoy this just fine - it even includes a Header, if your new to his works then try The Innswich Horror of the City infernal series first.

The novel was received in exchange for an honest review
