When I finished reading J. Macberry’s “Ghost Road Blues” and started reading “Bad Men” I’d a feeling that both books had something in common. For that reason I waited until I finished John Connolly’s book to have a better idea how good or bad J. Macberry’s “Ghost Road Blues” was.

What these two novels have in common is that both deal with the supernatural and horror and both are thrillers. As for as quality goes I would say that J. Macberry is not a threat to John Connolly, at least with “Ghost Road Blues”.

So, I really don’t know what to make of J. Maberry.

I though I’d a great horror novel in front of me when I started reading “Ghost Road Blues”. But the more I read the more I lost my interest in the story.
I don’t know if the writer is aware that “Ghost Road Blues” is not “The Lord of the Ring”. I’m questioning his motives because this first (of three) book leaves too many unanswered questions. Fact is you’re forced to read the sequel and most certainly, the third book in order to get a piece of satisfaction. If there is any.

I like series that follows a certain character but “Ghost Road Blues” is merely an introduction to something that will probably develop into a whole in the third book. Like I said before I don’t know what to make of J. Maberry. The only thing I know is that he isn’t J. R. R. Tolken I don’t think I’ll be reading any other of his books.

I didn’t even get scarred!
