If you look on this book as a horror and ignore the errors etc, it's very enjoyable...

When Gregory Tomasov wins the lottery, he turns his back on Southern California and takes his mother, his wife and three children back to his home town of McGuane, Arizona. But the idyllic small-town life he so desperately wants for his family doesn't materialize. Something else is waiting for him in McGuane instead. Something strange. Something frightening. Something that is making the inhabitants of McGuane die. Neither Gregory nor most of the other local residents understand what is happening to their town. But his mother and the other Russian members of her Molokan church do. Uninvited guests have arrived in McGuane. Guests that cannot be seen. Cannot be heard. And cannot be stopped.

I am an American-Molokan historian and web publisher who is attempting to correct much of the mis-information published about Molokans (Russian Spiritual Christians). A full review of Guests will appear on the Molokan Home Page: << http://gecko.gc.maricopa.edu/clubs/Russian/Molokan >>. Aa a fictional pulp horror novel, Guests is alright, but readers should know that it contains too much mis-information about Molokans and most all the Russian phrases are misspelled. This is NOT a good book to learn about Molokans unless you know where the errors and mis-representations are. Little was not raised as a Molokan, but was exposed to this close-knit religious culture thru friends and relatives on his mother's side. Guests contains many Russian religious and cultural phrases, which, if you don't know the errors, add cultural flavor and color to this fictional story. On the one hand, I welcome Molokans publishing about their Molokan culture, on the other hand, Little, who is half-Molokan, should have invited Molokan elders and scholars to proofread and correct the blatant errors. Most conservative Molokans will be shocked by Little's exposure of Molokan culture and religion, while most others, like me, will be amused that it was written at all. Guests was somewhat educational to me. I didn't know about the house ghost ("old man ghost"). As fiction, many of the circumstances are contrived and much rich detail is missing, for example about the preacher's funeral. Although Little camoflaged the identity of his main characters, refferences to other names--Mohoff's gas station, for example--actually existed and probably should have also been fictionalized. See the Molokan Home Page for a list of errors and mis-representations-- << http://gecko.gc.maricopa.edu/clubs/Russian/Molokan >>. E-mail me if you have comments.
