Mantis Pan Horror Horror Book Review

An advertising genius down on his personal life (divorced) is living in a slum and seems to be connected to two different people that he can sense.  On is a man named Michael.  The other is a woman whose name he does not know.  He prowls the streets following Michael and trying to locate the woman.  Eventually we learn more about the man and about Michael.  Finally, they both, and the reader, meet the woman.  The remainder of the book deals with the relationship of the three and how they interact.


This is a strange book and definitely not for everyone.  Michael is a predator and “tunes in” to women looking for a very rough encounter.  The nameless woman seems to be like Michael.  There is plenty of obsession and no small amount of madness making this a tale of tragedy but, other than the cover, there is little to describe it as horror.  By the end of the book I was glad it was short.  Some readers will be disappointed in the ending while others will drop out before then.  Beware.
