The Wide Game By Michael West


 

Once again the small town of Harmony Indiana turns out to be less than harmonious.  More demented souls seem to reside in this small, corn fed town than any major metropolis.  What is up with all the corn fed fear?  A high school tradition of questionable merit melds into a game with bloody consequences.



A group of high school students are studied as characters.  They are fleshed out so the reader can develop a sense of empathy.  Then bad things start to happen.  



Michael West surely has a strange turn of mind.  I’m guessing that he, like Stephen King, has the heart of a small boy and he too, keeps it in his top desk drawer. 



After plowing through the mayhem you discover that you aren’t done yet.  Mr. West likes to flip things around just when you think you have everything figured out.   



Robby Miller of the Spook House is here, younger and not yet jaded.   I have read and reviewed  Spook House , Poseidon’s Children and Cinema of Shadows all by Michael West.   



He has carved a niche into the face of evil, leaving his readers looking over their shoulders and listening to the wind in the corn.



I’ve stated before I don’t read a lot of horror stories but I really the way Michael West renders them.



And yes, all puns were intended regardless of whether it is the lowest form of humor.     



I enjoyed the book.
