Personal Effects: Dark Art by J.C. Hutchins, Jordan Weisman

5.0

I finished this book literally minutes ago, and I loved every page of it. J.C. Hutchins has crafted a smart, crafty horror/thriller that would be a worthy print debut for anyone working in the genre. But along with Jordan Weisman and St. Martin's Press, this book goes further than anything I've ever seen, actually providing you with documents, cards, and other items that expand upon the world of the novel. Every website mentioned in the book is real. The phone numbers are real. This is half book/half alternate reality game. If all you want is to read a good thriller, this will fit the bill. But if you take the time to explore the sites, call the numbers, decipher all the goodies that come with the book, "Personal Effects: Dark Art" can take you further than any book I've ever read.
