titus_hjelm 's review for:

La Lance by Thierry Arson, James Herbert
2.0

More of a supernatural detective story (with the odd gory moment a la Herbert) than 'horror'. Many have commented on the slow start and abrupt ending, and they're mostly right. There are slips of mediocre writing as well, with point of view changing between sentences at places. I was surprised since The Fog was pubslihed before this and was quite solid in ways which this one wasn't . Well, even Stephen King isn't always great.
