5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth picking up. I loved it!, 12 May 2003
By Detra Fitch (USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
In the 1860's Reverend Wendell McFall had a church built in Whispering Pines. It was painted red to summon the First Son to defeat the Second Son. When Wendell sacrificed a child his congregation hung him from the rafters of his own sanctuary.

The red church stood empty for twenty years. It was going to ruin until Archer McFall purchased it. It was called the Temple of the Two Sons and most of the town's residents quickly joined, as their ancestors had before. The zealous worshipers had no idea that they would be simply pawns and sacrifices as the demonic Archer exercised his revenge!

***** W - O - W! Now here is a novel that will send chills up your spine. I often found myself repelled and attracted at the same time as the grizzly plot unfolded. Fans of Stephen King and Dean Koontz will LOVE this talented author! I am eager for Nicholson's next release. *****

5.0 out of 5 stars The Second Son isn't very nice, 5 Mar 2009
By Stephanie Sane (from the Asylum) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In the 1800's the preacher of the red church in Whispering Pines told the story of how God had two sons, Jesus was good, the other was not. Should the second son become flesh, all would suffer. To prevent the coming of the second son the preacher sacrificed a child, however to his chagrin the town was not pleased, they hung him from a tree in front of the church. As time moved on people started seeing the preacher's ghost, cackling and swaying from the hanging tree, plus it appears there is a monster in the belfry, a dark creature with wings and claws.

In the present the Reverend Archer McFall, a descendent of the hanging preacher, comes to town. He buys the red church, which is currently being used as a barn, and reopens it. He calls himself God's second son and he's come to prepare his flock, but he's really come to get even.

The Red Church is written in kind of a southern gothic flavor that will draw you right in. There are enough twists in this tale to keep you guessing and I really loved the ending, I think you will too.
