It was so very disturbing, well at parts that is. Very well written. It had me laughing out loud so many times, thank god I was home when reading it. You know when watching a movie or tv show and something very disturbing or violently gross is shown and you can't look you need to turn away, interested yes so you look between fingers? Well I actually had to stop and look away while reading a certain scene in this book because the image in my head was so vived. This book was greatly written

Imagine a version of Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train in which Robert Walker suddenly sprouts fangs, or Interview With the Vampire reconceived as a pungent, contemporary dark comedy, and you may begin to get an idea of the contradictory pleasures of David Martin's new thriller Tap, Tap, a suspense/horror novel as peculiar as its title is evocative. Here's the clever setup: 36-year-old show more Roscoe Bird (nice, bright, good guy) and his wife, Marianne (nice, bright, grad student in psychology), are interrupted at home one evening by a knock (tap, tap) at their door. Their caller: Peter Tummelier, ''a short and slightly built man under (a) ridiculous homburg hat (with a) mouth so small and delicate as to be girlish.'' Their mistake: They invite him in. show less
