Abe lost his wife Marie to cancer a long time ago and Dan lost his wife and children in an accident much more recently. The Fishermanis a horror novel about two widowers named Abe and Dan. His new novel The Fisherman is sometimes ambitious to a fault, but it got my gears turning and seeped into my subconscious before I knew what hit me.
The book never scares the reader, the reader scares himself while reading the book. That doesn't mean great horror isn't being written every year because it is, but it's never outwardly trying to scare anyone.
Other boogeymen will always play catch up to your first great moment of terror. The Great Unspoken Problem with boogeyman stories is that only your first is truly scary.
