Daughters of the Moon ISBN: 0786013095 One Fantastic Book Some authors have a knack for telling a great horror story, and Joseph Curtin in Daughters of the Moon does exactly that. Curtin's writing style, well developed and interesting characters, smooth flowing storyline, grabs your attention and takes you on a pure horror ride. The book revives Elisabeth Bathory, the infamous Blood Countess from 16th century Hungary and places her in the 1970's, eventually taking refuge in the outskirts of downtown Chicago. Lizabeth, as she is now known, takes on a protégé in Chloe Covington, the daughter of a wealthy Tobacco plantation owner from the south. Lizabeth leaves a trail of blood in her quest for money and power, playing on her victims fear, emotion, and guilt. This book will stay with you for a long time due to the unique characters and personalities of just about everyone in the story as well as the gruesome settings and descriptions of Lizabeth's perversions. Mr. Curtin, take a bow for writing a captivating book and in being able to use all of the elements to keep the reader on edge and wanting more. 7/19/03 |
