This was a quick read, and while the premise was good and the description was promising, I just really couldn't get into much. While I did think the idea of a psychic private eye was a good one, the "dream beings" themselves made the story a little hard for me to follow and the too frequent mention of the serial killer's pimples seemed an unnecessary distraction. I would give it 2 and a half out of 5 stars

This will be a short review. I don’t even know what to say other than, I regret going all the way to the end. The only good thing about this is that it was really short. I feel bad even saying that, I know the author must have worked really hard at this, but honestly I was so very disappointed.
It started out so incredible, but quickly went downhill. The beginning was so spooky and interesting, and the plot is a really good idea. I don’t think it was executed very well. Most of the time it felt really silly and I just kind of rolled my eyes. I think if it had a little more character building it wouldn’t be so bad. Even the serial killer and the dream beings really just made me roll my eyes.
I don’t think I will try another book from this author.

This novella by Aaron J. French is an entertaining way to spend an hour. He does an almost perfect job of giving you a story that delivers blood, guts, gore, and spook in bite-sized form.
None of the actual characters are unbelievable. The creep-factor of the serial killer is high. The theory espoused by the psychic is interesting. The prose is wonderfully (or perhaps a better word would be disgustingly) descriptive.
All in all, a fun read and a good introduction to French’s work if you’ve never read him before.
