Daemon of the Dark Wood

Mythology. Folklore. I love it. DOTDW started out a little slow for me, but more than made up for it by the halfway point. All of Mr. Chandler's characters enhanced the read in their own special way, which is quite a feat. The thing I really loved about this book, was the authors' ability to 'educate' me about the history of the Woods and the creature Pan by a Professor and psychiatric patient in the story without boring me or lecturing. Even though I knew this was horror and the women were under the power of an overly sexual god, the things that transpired still shocked me. This read does have gore, strong sexual elements, some bestiality, and pure gross out moments that kept me flipping the pages into the wee hours of the morn. The only complaint would be the over-use of certain words and uncontrollable urination. Highly recommended read for those that like the darker side of horror. Will definitely look into his other read! Job well done~
