Ron, I believe you are the person who introduced me to Rekulak's stories. So, Thank You! Regarding THE LAST ONE AT THE WEDDING, the cover art is pretty generic, and I have not read anything about the plot. I do agree that the title alone could portend another story in a well-used trope. Just like you, I am giving the author the benefit of the doubt as I also think HIDDEN PICTURES could have fallen into that trap and he completely avoided it.

My pleasure...glad he garnered another fan, his work deserves it!

I'm in lockstep with all that. I am a little concerned about THE LAST ONE AT THE WEDDING as the cover and plot are giving off -- at the risk of sounding a bit misogynistic -- feminine-thriller vibes, those thrillers that swamp the bookstore shelves these days. But given Rekulak's previous two terrific novels, I'm giving the book the benefit of the doubt and will assume it's more original than it appears.

Thanks for reminding me about that one! I was considering it, and your rec just sealed the deal for me.

I failed to also agree with you regarding the illustrations in HIDDEN PICTURES. The images and their progression in the book are perfect for the story! I can't recommend THE IMPOSSIBLE FORTRESS enough. I think I have read it three or four times and will probably re-read it again this summer.

I loved HIDDEN PICTURES. I have to admit his 1st novel, which is not horror related, THE IMPOSSIBLE FORTRESS is even better. He also has a thriller titled THE LAST ONE AT THE WEDDING coming out in October. Only two novels in he is already a must-read author for me.
