It's Green, It Glows, It Will Dissolve You!

The small Indiana town of Town quickly becomes a place of horror when a boy dies mysteriously at the local dump. Soon another body turns up dead in the same way but located indoors.More bodies and finally a witness. The deaths are caused by some sort of glowing green cloud. But some of the deaths show signs of struggle. Who struggles against a cloud?As doctors and scientists race to find a cause and a cure, we eventually find out the whole truth of the horror.I rather enjoyed this books as well as others by the collaborative team known as Pauline Dunn. The one thing that bothered me was th authors' lack of naming the town. An offhand remark at the beginning mentions that people simply refer to it as town so it really has no name. But it has a Sheriff and industry so there must be an official name somewhere. But it keeps being referred to as "Town" and it just reads oddly in some of the sentences.But despite the lack of a town name the story is pretty well crafted. It uses an interesting creation theory as part of the horror and combines with fast action and descriptive styles that actually change with the characters.All in all a very entertaining little horror novel.
