A review by laurenbdavis
The Isle by John C. Foster
4.0
If you're a fan of gothic(ish), horror thrillers, you'll be delighted with this, his latest novel.
I Love John C. Foster's voice. It is SO dark and filled with portent! He has a wonderful way of increasing the tension with every page, and yet also infusing his characters with a bit of sly humor. His choice of names, for example -- Bones, and Honor and Increase and Burden. Then there are the crabs, clanking out of everything, and the lobster down in the deep dark depths, and the murders, and the folklore and the wild North Atlantic... well, it's all good. You've been warned.
