Autumn Gothic by Brian Bowyer















Rating: ★★★★

Genre: Horror

Format: Paperback

Pages: 343

Read: 03/18/23

Synopsis: 

In San Francisco, Sierra falls in love with her favorite author. After learning that Vivian Kane grew up in a haunted house, she persuades Vivian to take her to the mansion in West Virginia, where they encounter a savage entity known as the Sorceress of Night.

In Los Angeles, Delilah—a celebrated musician—kills humans as sacrifices to the ancient gods of death. When Mark—her guitar player—discovers her evil ways, she gives him two choices: leave California, or become her next victim. He flees, and then Delilah changes her mind, killing people across America while pursuing him as he travels east. After she tracks him to a mansion in the mountains of West Virginia, monsters both human and inhuman collide on Halloween night.
Review:
"Everyone," she told him, "needs to be wanted, to see themselves reflected in the waters of another person's desire. It pushes back our feelings of being insubstantial, the fear that our entire identities could just crumble and blow away at any moment."
Drugs, booze, murder, sex and love. Double it, triple it, and then multiply it by 100%. 
There are many characters portrayed as flawed, some edging on unsound, and others just trying to get through the storms of life. 
A haunted mansion with deep buried secrets, and a telepathic sorceress that craves the blood of children.
A massive combination of mayhem and visceral depravity.
Each characters storyline connects as they all come together in a fight for their lives.
Kicked into high gear from the beginning, it only amps up from there. It becomes a hypertense, whip cracking, jacked up story, leading to an unrelenting bloody, gore filled book of atrocious events.
