Review: MR NIGHTMARE by Joe Scipione

Excellently written, with amazing character delineation [especially unexpected in a coming-of-age Supernatural Thriller], MR. NIGHTMARE was clearly special from the first pages. Take a plot of a trio of early adolescents (later a quintet) who are tremendously close, spending entire summer days together, unintentionally evoking a potentially Otherworldly presence. This could have been run-of-the-mill Routine; but author Joe Scipione elevates this to an engrossing and riveting experience, one not easily forgotten. A cast of endearing characters and an implacable Horror race to a terrifying but logically fitting conclusion.
