Ancient Enemy - it wants things . . . you have to give it what it wants . . .Seven hundred years ago the Anasazi people built massive cities in what is now the southwestern United States . . . and then they vanished.Stella, an archaeologist specializing in Anasazi culture, and David, a mysterious Navajo boy, are on the run from something terrifying. As they flee up into the snowy mountains of Colorado, they are carjacked by criminals escaping a botched bank robbery. Caught in a blizzard, they must take refuge in what they believe is an abandoned cabin. It's at this cabin where they will face horrors beyond their imagination.
I want to just say, “If you like horror, READ THIS.” And leave it at that, but I know this book deserves more. As someone has already mentioned it is a bit reminiscent of Dean Koontz, especially his book “Phantoms”. Don’t let this statement fool you though; this is still most definitely a story all its own.
I wolfed “Ancient Enemy” down in about 2 days, and while I didn’t particularly relate to any character, I found myself having an introspective moment from time to time. What would I have done if asked to give up a little boy in place of my own and everyone else’s life? I know I would be suspicious of the boy because of certain circumstances in the book, and for the most part he just creeped me out, but could I really pass him over to some unknown creature that had already revealed it's true colors when it... well, we’ll just let you find out for yourself what this thing does.
All in all, a delectable horror read that never lets up. Give it a read and see for yourself.
