Keane Reid is tired of living. He's bored with his very existence following the suspicious death of his wife seven years earlier. He's not interested in TV, reading, dating or a social life. But when he is called on a routine plumbing job at a local pub, he discovers the corpse of a young girl crucified and nailed to a wall, her eyes torn out and a third eye carved into her forehead. Keane has seen this mark before, and soon his life is thrust between the present and past, reality and fantasy, darkness and light. As Keane loses his grip on sanity, a long-forgotten shadow begins whispering to him once again, ushering him toward the void, where the ghosts of his past reside, waiting to show him what truly lies behind the veil.

This was a risky novella. As the cover blurb implies, we are dealing with a situation where reality and dream or perhaps madness converge. Where the line blurs and we question the reliability of our narrator. Is he following a killer or is he himself the killer? Many writers have attempted this story/narrative line with varying success.
Craig Saunders, the talented writer of Deadlift—also from Darkfuse—does better than most, largely because of his great use of atmosphere, which created real tension, and his main character, who was particularly well done. This is the second Darkfuse published book that I have read by Saunders, and they both are very good.
Saunders created quite a bit of tension in the first half, with several very chilling scenes (particularly the one involving a photo that the protagonist discovers in his home) that set the tone for the rest of the novella. The main character and the character of his wife were particularly well done. By the halfway point you pretty much know where this ride will take you but you keep reading because you care about the characters and, like an accident scene, you don’t want to see but you can’t look away.
Well done. 4 stars.
