Book Reviews of Gabriel's Story: A Novel
Book Review: A robust horror adventure . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
Gabriel Lynch, dissatisfied with his life of toil on a barren Kansas homestead that his stepfather and mother, as emancipated former slaves, has brought him and his younger brother to, throws in his lot with a motley crew. He gets far more than what he ever bargained for as the journey that he goes on with them into the untamed West, exposes him, as a subservient minority, to both the humanity that resides in some and in others, an evil that knows no boundaries.
This is a very exciting writer who, at an exhilirating pace, knows how to turn phrases, on one page, that evoke beautiful imagery and on the next, brutally painful ones. It is truly a gorgeous read.
