Thalo Blue

by Jason McIntyre

Plot

A young man on the brink of true adulthood experiences the trauma of his life when a trespasser breaks into his home. Sebastion Redfield and the psychiatrist assigned to help him recover from the break-in begin to unravel a more disturbing truth about his ordeal: that someone or some thing has been hunting him.

Review

Thalo Blue is a great novel. McIntye manages to convey a horror story using a narration full of textures and poetry that turns out to be an original, fresh and challenging reading in a rich tapestry of flashbacks and interlaced stories (all of them brilliantly connected in the end) which leads the readers to a gripping climax and an unexpected ending. As far as characters are concerned, Zeb is one of the most complex and fascinating characters I have ever read about. He's unique and McIntyre manages to create a strong, intimate link between him and the readers. In conclusion, Thalo Blue is not only a horror story, it is about second opportunities, life and its tragedies.
