review 1: Along with Covenant this is my favorite Everson novel. An excellent pace and interesting plot points kept me on the edge of my seat. The length was perfect and I never felt like the novel was repeating itself. Rae was not a very likable character and it was confusing why Mark was willing to go back to save her the last time. Everson did an amazing job of describing Nightwhere as dimensions can sometimes be a tad confusing. Better than his last few outings, Everson does a great job of bringing a unique original novel to life.
review 2: Dark as Children of the Corn. Insecurities override judgment and action. The marriage between insecure Mark to the obsessively pain seeking Rae creates a series of pleasure driven interactions with other sex partners. Each new sit... moreuation becomes old and boring, which causes Rae's need to explore and identify deeply hidden sexual desires. Once identified at Nightwhere, Rae's pain/pleasure need becomes her sole reason for living. Conversely, Mark is driven by what he determines as his inability to sexually satisify Rae. Once he sees Rae's pleasure seeking met at Nightwhere, Mark becomes more insecure--their agreement to share experiences obsolete, until Rae becomes distant, then disappears. Mark defines himself by actions as her hero, determined to find and save Rae. Rae does not want to leave Nightwhere; she is driven beyond her marriage into the bed of evil. Leather, whips, chains, screams, moans, pain, pleasure are primary, while the act of sex is secondary. Instead of Children of the Corn, there are stalks of disintegrating decomposing lifeless bodies that drip blood to nurish Nightwhere. Stalks of bodies moan and cry misery that depicts a living hell Mark traverses to rescue Rae. In the end, Rae's hero, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health...husband ends up trying to rescue a fallen angel, a new love. Intense and creative author, John Everson engages a reader through vivid imagery that brought to mind Temple of Doom or Lord of the Rings as a setting and Underworld Awakening sinisterism. Other than the lack of romance, this fictional journey is fast paced, action filled, and dangerously dark. Final thoughts include...be careful what you wish for. Enjoy... less
