The Agony Column
Reviews by Rick Kleffel
Copyright 1990 by Rick Kleffel
So you read the latest Stephen King novel in two days and the new Koontz
hasn't come in. What do you do when you want something different that's
actually the same? You look on the fringes. There's plenty of writing
out there, passing itself off as mystery, SF, even mainstream fiction
that has all the elements the good horror reader wants -- excitement,
imagination, reality, tension. So read those back cover blurbs
carefully.
Dream Baby [****]
Bruce McAllister
Tor, $18.95, 0-312-93197-2
Last year, Peter Straub's Koko set a high standard for horror epics set
in or around Vietnam. Even that novel skirted the issue by being set in
the present and reaching back to the past. Since then, a number of works
have come out that use veterans as characters, but no one else has
really tried what Bruce McAllister tries in Dream Baby -- a full-scale
ESP in Vietnam novel, played out by American troops stationed in Vietnam
during the early 1960s. It's a path plagued with pitfalls and ripe for
Rambo-esque exaggerations. McAllister evades the pitfalls and succeeds
in creating a novel that is authentic, imaginative and complex. But
Dream Baby is not a thriller-style page turner like Koko. It's an
atmospheric look at experiments in combat-induced ESP and stands as one
of best novels of psychic phenomena ever written.
Interviews with veterans are interspersed around the interview with the
novel's narrator, Mary Danico, a nurse who starts to dream of wounds and
then sees those wounds in the operating room. McAllister's style is
obviously the result of the thousands of hours of interviews he heard
and conducted. The narrative creates a thick swamp-like miasma, in
which, ESP-like powers are not stable but ever-changing, shifting to
suit the situations and the characters. This makes the characters,
particularly Robert ("The Captain") the most convincing and menacing
characters with psychic powers ever created. The conclusion, reminiscent
of Theodore Sturgeon, is astounding. While Dream Baby is not for
everyone, those who enjoy atmospheric writing similar to Lucius Shepherd
should seek out Dream Baby.
A Dozen Tough Jobs [****+]
Howard Waldrop
Mark V. Zeising, $16.00, 0-92480-01-5
Famed horror director Wes Craven stated in an interview that he
considered the Greek Myths the original horror stories. He probably
hadn't yet read the Twelve Labors of Hercules via Howard Waldrop,
however. In A Dozen Tough Jobs, the strangest writer this side of the
dimensional barrier that separates men from the howling madness
transposes the Labors to 1926 Mississippi. This book isn't for
everyone, but if anybody will adopt Waldrop as an author, it should be
the horror readers.
This book is in no way a work of horror, but that doesn't mean that
horror fans who appreciate a solid sense of the surreal mixed with a
good sense of humor won't find extremely rewarding reading here.
Waldrop's hero is Houlka Lee, a convict working off the remainder of his
sentence for Boss Eustus, and his tale is narrated by IO, Invictus
Ovidus, a lanky black kid assigned to help out the humongous Houlka.
Waldrop's usual tendency to subvert history is here diverted to an
attempt to re-name history.
There are some rather jarring gaps that indicate that this might be a
novel in progress. No matter. If you're interested in Greek Myths, the
old south, or Howard Waldrop, once you surrender to this handsomely
designed book you won't want to let go.
Stone Shadow [****]
Rex Miller
Onyx, $3.95, 0-451-40164-0
Stone Shadow is great news for Rex Miller fans. He's been getting better
with every book, and this, the third novel in the Eichord sextet, is the
strongest entry yet. Slob, while written in a unique style, suffered
from sloppiness and stereotypical characters. Frenzy, the second novel,
had bang-up characters and better writing, but veered towards
predictability with another Eichord romance too similar to the romance
in Slob. Stone Shadow almost eliminates the romance and signals a return
of Miller's interesting views of almost ESP. His style is still unique
but is cleaner. More importantly, he finally integrated aspects of
mystery into his plot to make this novel more thrilling.
Eichord is sent to find a serial killer, a terrifying being who claims
to have killed hundreds of people in the Southwestern states. But the
man claiming to be the killer is already in custody--or is he? Miller
takes the Eichord on a frightening voyage into a deranged mind. Although
there's a touch less gore in this novel, readers will still need a
strong stomach to make it through, but it's worth the trip. Horrifying
and original, this is the novel that marks the arrival of another great
horror writer.
A Child Across the Sky [***+]
Jonathan Carroll
Legend, Century Hutchinson Ltd., 0-7126-2588-7, $30.00
The best thing about A Child Across the Sky is that it's totally
unpredictable. Even when you're on the next to last page, you don't know
how it's going to end. Unfortunately, many readers aren't going know how
it ended even after they finish it. If you like horror fiction with
messy problems and tidy solutions, then you probably won't be satisfied
with A Child Across the Sky. If you like your fiction open-ended,
thoughtful and mysterious, you'll probably love Jonathan Carroll's
newest novel.
A Child Across the Sky is in some ways a sequel to Carroll's earlier
novel The Bones of the Moon. It starts with the death of Philip
Strayhorn, a horror movie director who committed suicide and left a task
for his best friend Weber Gregston. It seems that Phil created something
on the set of his latest, uncompleted movie, something that had no right
to exist. This gives Carroll a platform to ponder the moral implications
of creating horror art. Readers will find something lacking in other
works--a morality, carefully thought-out but not summed up in
pontificating platitudes.
Despite this tendency towards edification, Carroll manages to infuse
this novel with tension, which is much abetted by his sense of mystery.
This is also a work where horror is an integral part of the narrative.
In a genre where tension becomes predictable, Carroll creates a terror
that far more genuine because it is based on a horrific point of view
rather and a close-up view of the horrific.
Haunted [***]
James Herbert
Putnam, $16.95, 0-399-13486-7
The gothic novel seems to be having a minor resurgence, and it's not too
surprising that James Herbert is at the front of the pack. Haunted
resurrects the glories of isolated houses holding even more isolated
characters. It's a classy, restrained performance by a mainstream horror
writer.
The story revolves around David Ash, a psychic debunker who is assigned
to study a haunting at Edbrook, the Mariell family house. But he brings
with him his own past, and his own haunts. Herbert doesn't clutter up
the narrative with an excess of subplotting or extraneous thriller
elements. He instead pursues the mystery straight to the gothic heart of
David Ash. This streamlined feel is a plus, since gothics often tend to
get lost in the plotting.
Sometimes however, Herbert's thinness causes problems, particularly in
his descriptions of Ash's ghostbusting gear. We've seen the movies, from
Poltergeist to Ghostbusters, and we know that there's more to exposing
fakes than flour and flashlights. In this respect, Herbert's minimalism
rings untrue, but it does allow him to get on with the story without
getting caught up in the gadgets. For those who like their scares
old-fashioned, well-written and purely enjoyable, Haunted is just the
book to read on a cold winter night.
The Grocery List: Shopping in an Upscale Market
You say you're tired of junk food, and want some gourmet horror? If
you've got the money, you can get it. There's a feast of high-priced
terror out there, just waiting for your wallets. Don't look too closely.
You don't really want to know what kind of meat you're eating, do you?
Tales of the Cthulu Mythos [*****]
H. P. Lovecraft and Others
Arkham, $23.95, 0-87054-159-5
Got a few dollars to spare? Here's something for your must buy list --
Tales of the Cthulu Mythos is a festival of evil seafood in a glorious
50th anniversary edition. You may have read some of the stories, but
those you haven't are like old friends you haven't met yet -- familiar,
but lots of fun to get to know. For HP Lovecraft's formless horrors, JK
Potter is of course, the perfect illustrator.
Razored Saddles [****+]
Joe R. Lansdale and Pat LoBruto
Dark Harvest, $19.95
Attention weirdos! Gather around out west for some of the strangest
stuff ever to come out of Dark Harvest. Joe Lansdale's intro is worth
the price, but who in their right mind would want to miss McCammon,
Lansdale, Lewis Shiner, Scott Cupp, Richard Laymon, Neal Barret, or
better yet, Howard Waldrop's "Passing of the Western"? Not you, pardner.
Stalkers [***+]
Ed Gorman and Martin H. Greenburg
Dark Harvest, 0-913165-47-6
Here's a theme anthology that's a surefire winner, done in a "Hardback
EC"-style: a collection of stalker/victim stories with a new novella by
Dean Koontz. But the real killers are Rex Miller's Eichord vignette and
Richard Laymon's moonlight ride.
Night Visions 7 [****]
Stanley Wiater
Dark Harvest, 0-913165-50-6
It doesn't take a psychic to predict that any edition of the Night
Visions series will be worth reading. This time, Richard Laymon provides
the rat-eating highlights, Chet Williamson the flesh-eating priest
(sounds corny but it reads like liquid gold), Gary Brandner the
man-eating dogmen, and Stanley Wiater some very informative interviews
in lieu of the typical horror-is-a-good-thing intro. So what if every
edition gets good reviews? Can there really be too much of a good thing?
Masques III [****]
JN Williamson
St. Martin's,$17.95, 0-312-2948-9
A major anthology series moves to the big press and gets better. Sounds
impossible, but leave it to Williamson to pull it off. This one's bigger
than the others, but it's all quality stuff. And anybody who gives a
whole category to monsters is barking at the right planet.
Resurrection Dreams [*****]
Richard Laymon
WH Allen, $30.00, 0-491-03398-2
Richard Laymon writes beautiful, minimalist, almost existential prose --
he's the Phillip Glass of splatter. But he makes you care about about
his characters, and creates scenes that will stick in your mind. Imagine
a Sartre/Romero/Koontz collaboration--that'll give you some idea of the
talent shown in this novel. It may take less time to read than some
books, but when you're done, Resurrection Dreams is something you'll be
able to read again.
The Hacker [***-]
Chet Day
Pocket, $3.95, 0-671-67611-3
Well-informed both on electronic networking and Japanese folklore, The
Hacker does the inevitable and brings a bad thing to a computer network.
Enjoyable reading, it does exhibit the tendency to line up the victims.
