Summary: One of his best
Comment: I was really impressed with this book when I devoured it over a couple of days earlier this summer. Normally, I'm a VERY slow reader, but I really flew through this one.
Reading Douglas Clegg reminds me of playing the electric guitar in the evening in the garage while I was in high school. His writing is raw and full of emotion and yearning. It's alive in your hands--you can feel the book hum and vibrate as it leads you through colorful fields under its own sinewy rhythm.
I've read everything that Clegg has out in print (I found out about him last summer here at amazon.com) and I think "Naomi" is one of his best, up there with "You Come When I Call You" and "The Halloween Man". A must for any fan of Clegg's other work. And if you like horror and haven't read Clegg, you should really give this one a chance. Just remember to keep it down after eleven.

Summary: complex, suspenseful, and exciting horror novel
Comment: Jake and Naomi were both born in Carthage, Virginia, a place where evil stands side by side with the righteous. Neither one had a descent family to turn to for support so they clung to one another. At seventeen Naomi left town to attend school and a year later Jake followed her though they never stayed in touch with one another. Thus, Jake is shocked to elarn that his childhood sweetheart died by falling onto the tracks of a New York subway station.
In a bizarre coincidence, Jake rents an apartment in Greenwich Village just across the hall where Naomi lived. When he goes into the subway to catch a train, he swears he has just seen Naomi walking on the tracks. When it happens again and other weird things occur, Jake wonders if Naomi is dead or is her restless spirit trying to communicate with him. Either way, Jake knows that he cannot ignore what his senses tell him for if he does he will go slowly insane.
Douglas Clegg has written a complex, suspenseful, and exciting horror novel that contains several levels of understanding due to strong subplots that tie back to the prime theme. The story line includes several likable and not so likable characters, but the show belongs to Jake who must contend with the curious and crazy happenings that engulf him.

Summary: reads like a first draft
Comment: This novel rambled on aimlessly and the writing was poor in spots. I had recently read his NIGHTMARE CHRONICLES, which I thought was very good, and I expected much more from this author. I only got about 90 pages into it before I gave up.
