Book Review: A Ball of Fire that Burns Hotter with Every Page
Summary: 5 Stars
"Ragged Man" starts out like a ball of fire and that ball just starts burning hotter with every page as we see retired record bootlegger turned off road race car driver Rick Gordon get deeper and deeper in trouble as the story progresses. Rick and his wife Ann are in the middle of a desert race in Australia when they come across two dying Aborigines, who pass away, leaving their spirits behind to sort of meld with them. Later that night they are attacked by a pack of wild dingo dogs and Ann sees the Ragged Man for the first time.
Flash forward to the Northern California town of Tampico, where the Gordons live, and we see a homeless beggar on the beach attack Judy Donovan while her son, little J.P. watches unable to do anything. Then J.P. sees Rick and Ann driving by and shouts for help. Rick runs down the beggar, saving J.P.'s mother, but the stranger was the Ragged Man and his spirit moves to another.
Rick and Ann have become possessed by good spirits from the Dreamtime, however their is a spirit, very evil, very strong, who has followed them from Australia and it's bent on destroying Rick's life. The first to go is his wife, then his friends. All die violently, with much blood and Rick is blamed for the murders, so not only does he have this very bad thing after him, but the cops as well.?
There is a lot going on in this delicious horror story. A whole heck of a lot to cringe at as you wonder if the story will ever lighten up. It doesn't. Action, horror, blood and guts right up till the last page. Brrr. Scary thrills and chills, enough to shake a score of sticks at.
