Book Review: Ravenswing by Jonathan Glendening

Ravenswing: a Halloween Adventure  by Jonathan Glendening

CreateSpace, 2014

ISBN: 978-1438237022

Available:  Kindle and paperback

 

On Halloween, Michael is assigned to deliver a package to the mysterious address “Ravenswing” by midnight… or lose his courier job. Even his pregnant girlfriend’s Halloween party mustn’t keep him from his appointed rounds, so off into the wilds of rural England he goes. En route, he collides with another car, rescues an injured girl from the wreckage, and is then pursued by her captors. Meanwhile at Ravenswing, the forces of evil are aligning to restore the sarsens of an ancient stone circle sitting on powerful ley lines. Glendening’s origins as a film director are evident, with enough action-packed chase scenes, shotgun blasts, spectacular explosions, murders and blood to satisfy a Die Hard addict, and the clash of Celtic, Christian, and Satanic lore makes for a particularly gory and spine-tingling climax.  The hero is a lovable guy, worrying about his girlfriend, his unborn child, and the girl he has promised to protect. This first novel by a guy with a brilliant imagination is one to watch. A little polishing of prose and punctuation would have it ready for prime time.

Okay, we don’t have an official “Pin Me” button on the site, but MonsterLibrarian.com is now on Pinterest. Right now we’ve got boards on horror resources, marketing horror at the library, Halloween and scary stories in the classroom, and the upcoming Monster Movie Month, as well as some miscellaneous odds and ends.  I hope we’ll have some boards up soon that will link to our reviews, but right now it’s a work in progress. I’m having fun with it, though, and I couldn’t stand to wait any longer to mention it here!
