Finian Black has a terrific story with “The Nightmare Stone”, his debut novel.
Which to me is a shock in a way, I say shock because with the level of
imaginative and clever writing seen in this novel you would assume that he was
a seasoned author with a multitude of books under his belt already.. But nope,
this is in fact his “debut”.
Over
the years I have grown to love ghost stories, where before I would say that
looks good and would read it hopefully one of these days.
In
The Nightmare Stone the beautiful, effortless meshing of a age old much loved
fairytale along with mythology was amazing!!! (no I won‘t tell you which
fairytale)
I
absolutely loved the different time eras that were encompassed throughout the
story. Placing yourself exactly as if you were at the scene was so easy for me.
There
were so many different twists and turns woven into past and present memories,
summarized for us as the story began, (I loved the way it was done) yet I was
intrigued to realized it didn’t give everything away half through or in the
begin as some do.
I
found that right after I had finished The Nightmare Stone, within a short time
I was watching the movie, and then I promptly pulled out my book of classic
fairytales to read it, as I had as a child.
A
haunting, creepy and suspenseful twist of a piece of our childhood, a beloved
fairytale that we all remember.
I
recommend this novel to teens and up.. You will thoroughly enjoy it, and be
surprised at what you do find out.
Well
done Author Finian Black, on this phenomenal take on a piece of our childhood
memories. I look forward to what is to come as more of your words flow across
the pages or screen once more.
