5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!, 7 Aug 2009
This review is from: Dreadful Skin (Paperback)
This is the first book of Cherie Priest's that I've read, and it won't be the last! A wonderfully gothic werewolf tale that starts in 1870 on board the steamboat Mary Byrd as it makes it's journey up the Tennessee river, bound for Chattanooga . It is divided into three talees, the first tale taking place on the boat and from varying points of view as some of the passengers tell you about themselves and their fate on that tormented night.
The second tale is set in 1879 and starts in Texas, and comes mostly from the point of view of the would be werewolf executioner, for whom all is not going well and rumours are circulating about a travelling religious troupe ... and it's possible connection to missing people wherever the troupe visit.
The last tale is set in the war torn wastelands in 1881 and takes you through the chase between the werewolf and the person that would be it's executioner (I'm being careful to not tell you who they are so that I won't spoil it for you!Forgive me if I seem vague on the characters..it is quite deliberate!) The religious troupe we were introduced to in the second tale, now minus it's Reverend and under the leadership of the Reverend's son...and the werewolf! The executioner is closing fast and a showdown is looming. I won't spoil the neat plot twists that accompany the ending, I hope you'll discover them for yourself by reading this book!
I was delighted by the whole feel of the writing in this book, i'm not sure if this is Cherie's usual style but it reminded me greatly of H.P.Lovecraft's ~ Necronomicon (always a bonus for me when done well as a fan of Lovecraft's work!) as it encompasses letters from one character to another, and personal account/ diary style entries, it was a real treat to read!
