REVIEW SUMMARY: Reads like a fable, but distilled through the thankfully warped mind of Clive Barker.
BRIEF SYNOPSIS: In the city of Primordium, an assassin has himself transformed into a horrific killing machine, thus setting off a chain of events that transforms the city.
MY REVIEW: PROS: Wonderfully disturbing vision; a good story that has an almost fable-like feel to it. CONS: Being a short novel, the mid-story recap of what came before was unnecessary. BOTTOM LINE: An engrossing story that plays the right chords of revenge, comeuppance, and horror.
