Having been a huge Bentley Little fan for a number of years now, and having most of his books, his latest installment The Disappearance is a real let down, it is not as if his work is getting steadly worse, i thought his last 2 books The Academy, and the wonderful His Fathers Son were outstanding, but in my view mr Little has really lost his way with this one, it starts off really well, with lots of tension, the missing girlfriend,the mystery to where she can be, who are the strange people who seem to be stalking the group of friends, and for the first 50 pages this book works, then thats it.... nothing happens, it just goes round and round in circles, it was like walking through treacle, the story just totally lost its way, and was a real struggle to finish it. Very disappointing, a real stinker from a quality author.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a creepy little book, which relies more on suspense and the author's ability to make the banal seem horrific. The author eschews resorting to his usual bag of tricks and relies simply on pretty straightforward storytelling. The result is an absorbing story that is hardly the stuff of nightmares.
The focus is on a group of UCLA College students who decide to let loose and attend a festival in a fairly rural area. Shortly after they arrive, Joan, one of their numbers, disappears. When they return to UCLA and make their report to the police, they discover that UCLA has no record of Joan ever having enrolled at the university. Moreover, her roommate has also disappeared, as have Joan's parents.
Then, a clue, warning about Outsiders, surfaces, and strange looking folk dressed in peculiar, homemade clothing begin being sighted on campus, and when they do, trouble lies ahead. Yet, Joan's distraught boyfriend is determined to follow any clue, no matter where it may lead and no matter what evil lies ahead.
Although die hard fans of the author may be surprised at the lack of in-your-face horror in this book, most will still enjoy the story that the author skillfully weaves.
