Customer Reviews

The ghosts come out to play while the plot thickens.

An apparent clue in the controversial missing girl case that Ethan Proctor's Black Oak took on leads to England and a unique haunting. What Proctor began to suspect in 'Episode' 2: The Hush of Dark Wings is confirmed here. Dark forces of some kind have marked him, but for what? The story arc plot grows thicker, the red herrings swarm, and the whole things builds to a nifty sword fight between man and ghost. Black Oak 'Episode' 3: Winter Knight is yet another delightfully creepy tale that will leave you begging for the next series entry.

Charles Grant = Underrated

Charles Grant is the most underrated writer in the horror fantasy/sci-fi genre. His body of work is ubiquitous, ranging from hard core horror to subtle dark fantasy. Winter Knight was a pleasure to read, and the Black Oak series is the most productive series going. "Hunting Ground," the forthcoming installment in the series, should prove to be another fine read.

Fun, quick read

Let's face it: this Black Oak series is just plain fun! GENESIS and THE HUSH OF DARK WINGS start out the series. Grant introduces us to Ethan Proctor, the brooding but brilliant leader of Black Oak Security. If there is a creepy twist, Proctor and company are sure to find it! WINTER KNIGHT finds Proctor in the quaint town of Pludbury, Englad. The townsfolk readily accept the legend of one of the town's forefathers who will grant them their deepest desires in exchange for their souls. Proctor, of course, digs and digs to discover the mystery of the resident ghost. This series is imaginative with Grant's patented writing. If you are new to Grant, these are an excellent way to get an idea of the depth of his writing. Besides, each is so much fun to read that you certainly won't regret the investment!

black oak, winter knight

The book was wonderfull just like his past books in this series. This book is not only thrilling to read but also keeps his readers wanting more, which in my case. Can't wait for the next one to come!

Grant's best so far in the Black Oak series

While Black Oak #1, Genesis, was an intriguing introduction, and Black #2 was a bit confusing, I have to admit that I enjoyed Winter Knight the most. Clear, spooky, and more inspired.
