Fresh Fiction Review

STRANGE MAGIC
Gord Rollo

Reviewed by Vicky Gilpin
Posted December 15, 2009

Suspense | Horror

Former magician Wilson Kemp thought he had his hands full with trying to battle the lure of the bottle and reconnect with his beloved wife and daughter. He never expected a suppressed horror from 20 years in the past to stalk him and present a danger to all he holds dear.

When Wilson starts to receive cryptic messages from an "old friend," he thinks he has everything figured out, and his first instinct is to get his wife and daughter as far away from him as possible. Little does he know that he hasn't figured out even the tip of the iceberg, and it is already too late to try to escape the STRANGE MAGIC.

Gord Rollo has created an enticing horror adventure along the lines of an early John Saul, Andrew Neiderman or William Johnstone. A satisfying story, STRANGE MAGIC brings one back to the era of early pulp horror, when young readers would hide under the covers with flashlights...and then be too frightened to turn the flashlights out!

SUMMARY

In the dead of night, beside a fading fire deep in the cold woods, a solitary man sits on a magician’s old theatrical trunk…planning the hideous death of Wilson Kemp. The trunk is battered and cracked, its garish paint peeling, but its contents are very specialβ€”Wilson Kemp’s worst fear, come back to haunt him. Kemp thought he could escape his past. As time went by he actually began to hope he could leave the nightmares behind him. But he is about to discover that some nightmares have no end and no escape. It’s taken years of patient, inexorable searching, but his past has finally caught up with him. And only his blood will satisfy it.
