Check it out -- you won't be disappointed!

An eerie thriller with believable characters.

HISTORY, DARK PASSION AND SUSPENSE IN THRILLING READ

In STONE CIRCLE Gary Goshgarian literally digs up the past and gave me a thriller ride of my life. He kept me riveted as he jumped back and forth between the present and past. If you want a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat and also make you think, read this one.

Stone Circle is fast-paced, intriguing, masterfully crafted.

The Stone Circle raises the limits of both the triller and the horror novel to new heights. The story is swift-paced, intriguing and masterfully crafted as are the very best thrillers. The sense of terror and menace build masterfully frompage one, reachng some exquisite peaks as the story unfolds. Goshgarian weaves a deft tale of corporate greed, psychic obsession, romance and personal redemption around vivid characters. This guy can really write--a tale you don't want to end.

Better than an amusement park: One ride not to miss.

Goshgarian's newest book, The Stone Circle, starts with a bang,settles back for a little history, then rushes headlong into equalproportions of hair-raising action, wicked dreams, Hitchcockian suspense, tender character moments, and wondrous surprise. As you get more involved in the plight of the characters you feel you are living this book yourself. Thoroughly entertaining and beautifully conceived, the Kirkus reviewer clearly did not read the book. There is no Celtic mythology. There is, instead, archeological fact skillfully woven into a fine fictional tale. The Kirkus Review makes The Stone Circle sound like a dry college text. This could not be further from the truth. This is a book filled with delicious images, pleasantly creepy moments, and memorable scenes. The author carefully thrusts us into action, gives us a chance to catch our breath at just the right moments, then drives us deeper into the suspense of the central mystery. At the same time, we fear for the safety of the young character Andy and his father. This is a must read. I can't wait to see the movie! In November, this book will be a selection of the Literary Guild/Doubleday Book Club/Mystery Club.
