Little Brothers

I never heard of Rick Hautala before, and I have a huge collection of horror novels...go figure?. I really like the straight forward clear writing style, the suspense kept me glued to the pages to the very end and above all "LITTE BROTHERS" is scary, really scary! I'm a sucker for anything with a monster in it and this book delivered more than it's share of them. I have recently purchased every Hautala book I can find...I am now currently reading Bedbugs and I love it!!! Finally... an author that tells a story without getting bogged down in excessive plot twists, with redneck blue coller characters, countless pages of descriptions (KING), or trying to be too literary that it puts you to sleep(STRAUB), so disposable, commercial and predictable(KOONTZ), cheap porn(LAYMON), Mr. Hautala is none of the above, he's better and I'm glad he's still around.

This is my all time favorite Hautala novel. A little boy sees his mother killed by 'little brothers' that live in underground tunnels that criss cross his hometown. Now the monsters want him as well. Of course, being a Hautala novel, there is a lot more going on in the tightly wound plot than first meets the eye. The reader of this book is in for a real treat. Recommended.
