Summary: Detectives, Aliens and a Whole Lotta Blood!
Comment: Michael Laimo's Atmosphere feels like a noir thriller. It also feels like sci-fi yarn. And, most of all, it's also a horror book. That's why I enjoyed reading this one so much; it gives you the best of all worlds!
Here, we find Frank, a detective who, during his weekend off, stumbles upon one heck of a conspiracy. It all starts when he follows a trail of blood that leads him to a mangled corpse. And then, right in front of his very eyes, a bald man wearing sunglasses comes to steal the body away.
Frank starts investigating with the detective given the case, Hector, who also happens to be his old boss. Together, they stumble on an age-old mystery involving aliens and a great deal of murders. Saying any more than that about the plot would be giving away too much. To enjoy Atmosphere, you have to go in without knowing much about the plot and about the characters.
Laimo knows how to grab his readers from the start. After reading the very first page, I just couldn't put the book down. The story is fast-paced and so entertaining that you'll find yourself reading long past your bed time.
I love books that take a familiar story and makes it new again. People have been writing about aliens for years; but this one puts a neat twist on it that involves young males and techno music. And Laimo does not shy away from the gore; although the book is never too graphic, it does have many moments of high tension that usually result in a lot of blood being shed.
Atmosphere is a very entertaining read that will keep you guessing until the end. It has vivid characters and a very intricate plot. It has comic scenes, scenes of tense horror, and very touching moments. What more could you want fom an escapist fare?

Summary: A stunning debut
Comment: Michael Laimo is a writer I've become familiar with through the list of short stories he's had published. He certainly doesn't dissapoint with his debut novel ATMOSPHERE. The story is a thrill ride from page one all the way to the end, non-stop action and suspense filled with gut wrenching horror elements. A great police procedural plot with buckets of gore!! This is a truly electrifying read. You won't be let down. Just make sure you have time to read this, because you won't be able to put it down.
His characters a very real. Frank Ballaro is a believeable character that we can all associate with. Teamed with his ex-partner Hector Rodriguez, we are led all through Manhattan as they uncover clue by clue the horrific cause to a series of cult like serial murders. The ending is truly genius, a twist that'll keep you smiling. I truly recommend this book!!

Summary: Unbelievable!!!!
Comment: Michael Laimo's ATMOSPHERE is a stunning debut novel from this writer that's breaking out from the small press into the pros. A truly dark urban horror tale, we follow two gritty cops from the very beginning and don't let go until the very end. Non stop action from page one on. A great mystery story coupled with disturbing horror elements makes this one gratifying read, reminiscent of Dean Koontz's The Bad Place, or Cold Fire. Folks, you won't be dissapointed here. The only sad part about the book is how quickly the end comes. You're gonna wish for more, take my word for it. I bought the Limited Edition of this book, and read it in three days. You won't be able to put it down.
