A wild modern fantasy/horror with a blues soundtrack
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Well, I first read this book about 5 years ago, when I came across it in the bookstore I managed. I was intrigued, and it was on sale, so I figured what the heck. It is, by far, one of my most favourite books, as it blends a modern fantasy borrowing heavily from catholocism, voodoo, santeria, and incorporates the mystic legends behind the Delta Blues. It's the story of Robert Johnson (real life blues legend) who, with his dying breath, endangers all of the world by breaking the Eye of the World. As the story progresses, Robert and several others band together to try to save the world from becoming Hell. Add to it a bunch of musical legends, including Elvis, and you've got a great book.
The VooDoo will grab you and won't let go!

I picked up this booked based on the cover, as crazy as that sounds. While I do not know much about blues music and the mytique that surrounds New Orleans and Memphis, I was totally immersed in this amazing tale. You will find yourself reading it cover to cover before you realize it. Enjoy!
