Where the Chill Waits

I've always been afraid of walking alone in the woods, I feel like something or someone is watching me. After reading this terrifying masterpiece what more can I say but... WOW!!!, Horror fans out there who are endlessly looking for that perfect scary story your wait is finally over. Take the best moments from Algernon Blackwood's "The Wendigo" "The Willows", James Dickey's classic "Deliverance", the super scary "Crooked Tree" by Robert C. Wilson, the ultra violent run for your life realism of "Hunter's Blood" by Jere Cunningham and that's just in the first half of the book. Exceptional writing, fully fleshed out characters, suspensful unpredictable storyline, thrilling action and a dark spooky atmosphere that seems to rise off the pages!. I was so wrung out and emotionally drained by the time I reached the exciting last chapter, I was sad because I didn't want the book to ever end. So do yourself the favor!..."Where the Chill Waits" is Outstanding and well worth any praise it has earned.

I grew up running the woods and I know that the forest can be a genuinely scary place. But too often horror writers who set their tales in the woods don't capture the potential for that fear. T. Chris Martindale captures it in "Where the Chill Waits." Although not many have heard of this book, I would rate it as one of the top ten horror novels that I've read, and I've been reading them for thirty years. This is the real stuff.Charles GramlichAuthor of "Cold in the Light."

I love this book. One of the few horror novels I've read lately that relies on solid characterization, a well-thought out story and good writing to create atmosphere and suspense rather than relying on mind-numbing doses of sex and violence to do the job. 'Chill...' is one of the only books since 'The Shining' to send chills (no pun intended) up my spine while I was reading it. Recommended to anyone who loves being scared...or who really wanted to see more of the Wendigo in 'Pet Semetary.' Here's hoping 'Chill...' gets made into a motion picture too!

Very well-written book. Invokes a very creepy image of the woods. Great description of Bloomington and Indiana University. Very believable characters. The only book out of 25 that I've read this year that had me hooked by chapter one. My only critique, a minor critique, is that the book might have ended a little quickly; however, I think all of you should be the judge of that. I look forward to reading his other works as well.
