Reviews for "The Warlock"

This is a masterpiece of words, and you are a master storyteller! Your writing makes me look at my own and think, “What the heck am I doing?” Here are a few of my favorite evidences of your craftsmanship: “There is nothing as terrifying as horror on a bright sunny day..” “...like the raddled face of an aging whore...” “...he had collected her somewhere along the way..” “...slow voyage of exorcism...” and that is only from chapter one!

P.M.Adams

This is a beautifully written book. From the first chapter we are engrossed and drawn into the experiences that Allan has undergone and is now trying to exorcise by revisiting the places of the past. You sketch in your characters with a light hand, so that although we have not met them properly as yet, we have a clear idea of each, from Marat to Alberta, Diego and the twins. The sense of evil permeates the first chapter, and the destruction of the broken pieces of the statue, ‘stamped on...again and again, until it was reduced to unrecognizable plaster chips,’ is immensely impressive. You have a great descriptive touch, cleverly describing as clichés words and phrases into which you manage to breathe new life, like, ‘The moonlight like quicksilver on the water, reflecting almost hurtfully bright from the whitewashed walls.’ You build up an atmosphere of mingled beauty and danger with every word.
