Angst by Jack Kilborn

The bad guys were almost a little too extreme, but other than that I liked it. This book is definitly not for the faint of heart, though. Gore with gore on it.

I do read horror every once in a while, and it’s rare that a book freaks me out enough that I have to put it down for a bit. I think the last book that really scared me was Bag of Bones by Stephen King. Afraid not only did that, it actually made me nauseous at points. Which means I think it was pretty freakin’ great. Kilborn pulls no punches with the cruelty of the Red Ops, not even in the beginning, yet everything came off as completely believable. I especially loved the little twists he throws in at unexpected points, like who Logan is, the doctor’s role, and how Fran is connected to it all. You expect some characters to make it through things unscathed, but you quickly learn that no one is safe, and you can’t predict who is and isn’t going to die. Thankfully, Kilborn has a second book in the works, because I think he has a gift for terror.
