Amazing Story

I read this book in just a few days. Sackett creates characters and situations that are so real it can be painful to read at times. I bought into this story hook line and sinker. The way Grogo the Goblin shifts between a dim witted circus freak to a cognizant creep is unnerving at times. I also read one of Sackett's other books called, 'Mark of the Werewolf'. It is equally cool.

A creepy read!

I read this and thought it was one of the most creepy things I ever read! I don't know where he gets his ideas but may they never cease to inspire him. It is a story that is remnicent of the old legends of the "changlings" and the twist at the end was something I had never suspected. If anyone knows where I might find the ghost story of his please let me know! A great book but not something to read while alone in the house late at night!
