Book Review: A familiar taste of poison beckons back
Summary: 4 Stars
Man, you need a deep stretch after this one, but one thing is for certain - Ed Lee is a smart guy. He has smut, lots of it sometimes but he blends it well with an intelligent story that serves a purpose, it's not a cup of sugar with a drop of coffee in it, that's for sure . Creekers reads like a thriller with some intense ick that fits in some strange and creepy way. I was following it along expecting one thing and got something totally wicked at the end, I adore an intense ending that kicks the reader awake, for some strange reason it kept reminding me of John Shirley's "Wetbones" which still kicks around in my skull and I read that years ago, sometimes it's easy to get used to all the gore and shock to the point where it barely touches us, but stories like this one stick around and give off a scream every once in a while.
Phil Straker ( Ed Lee's first pen name btw) comes back home, back to a crumb of a city called Crick City the last place that will take him back after a failed career as a cop. He's back to the one place he tried to escape back so hard from, now he is trying to do the right thing by digging his dignity back up with a car sized shovel as he dives deep into the city's dirtiest business, a strip joint that might be in cahoots with the main thing he's used to hunting; narcotics. New and old relationships stir his brains and soul, creating more sorrow than happiness, the story was so realistic that when the ending finally hit me I almost fell of the bed, I read this over two days and it was pretty hard to put down even though it was a total dip into a specific point of view, lots of gross rednecks and the mutated chicks they were drooling after. Phil is chased by new and old demons but he realizes that there is something very wrong with the town he thought he knew, close investigation only gets him closer to the eye of the storm, the one place he should probably avoid, curiosity kills the cat, let's just say that he's more than curious..You get into this whole investigation and suddenly everything is flipped upside down but in a good way, I loved it, very nicely done, I think I will read Lee again very soon, my next victim from him will be Succubi. Up to date Slither marks my favorite of his but this was fabulous, not something you can read every day for a long time because it's probably too much but it's definitely a great scary and keeping you at the edge type of a story.
