The Haunting of Velkwood • Horror Book Review
The Haunting of Velkwood by Gwendolyn Kiste was almost an instant buy for me. I chose this book entirely because of the summary. It did not hurt that it was written by a three-time Bram Stoker award winner and had a very cool cover. While I am not a fan of yellow, I appreciated how it has this yellow police tape feel without being actual police tape. You get a sense of being barred from seeing what the picture is of on account of the text. Or the yellow of the lines painted down the middle of a road. But the actual road is not quite there. After reading the novel, the cover takes on only a slightly deeper meaning, but it certainly caught my eye and played well with the summary.
While writing style never usually influences my choice of a book, I really do like a strong narrative so that's what this is; it's written in the first person present tense so nothing overly experimental or jarring. I find the first person present really works if you want to take somebody on a journey and that is exactly where we go back to Velkwood...
