A review by billymac1962
Deadlock by Tim Curran
4.0
Well, this couldn't have been 190 pages. Seemed more like 80. And that's okay.
Once again my horror itch flared up and Tim Curran is my go-to for fun creepiness.
And, once again he gave me a good scratch.
The story is simple enough. A gambler with ice in his veins is in debt to a heavyweight to the tune of fifty large. There is an easy way he can pay off the debt, though. Spend one full night aboard a haunted freighter.
As always, Curran wastes no time getting to the meat of the story. There was plenty of unsettlement to be had and a few parts had me squirming.
The ending was great.
Tim Curran should be much more famous than he is now. Dead Sea remains one of the best horror novels I've read with one scene that still bothers me years after reading it.
Deadlock was a fun way to spend an afternoon.
