A Gathering of Crows by Brian Keene

2.0

I've been meaning to read Keene for awhile as he is always at the top of the list of new horror writers. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed by this book. The set-up is solid, but it reads like King lite. I found the dialogue stilted and the main character (who has appeared in previous titles) uninspiring. Maybe there was just too much reliance on magic as a plot device (okay, the whole plot) and that's not really a favorite of mine. Too bad.
