Dark Hollow Horror Book Review

I was really into Keene after The Rising, City of the Dead, The Conqueror Worms and Ghoul, but the last two things I have read “Terminal” and now “Dark Hollow” have been very flat for me.  The story takes places in rural Pennsylvania with a Pan like gods back to wreak havoc with magic and sex.  I found parts of the story very derivative of Richard Laymon who also went very over the top with blood and sex in almost all of his stories and I found the dialog a little off.  It was enough so that it took me out of the story at times.  Parts of the book worked well, but enough didn’t that I can’t recommend it.
