Thomas Loggins wants nothing more than to live a quiet life with his wife and teenage daughter as a pastor in a small Indiana town. But a secret from his past is unearthed by a mysterious man, Benjamin Clark, who demands that Thomas make an impossible choice. Clark burns a trail of terror and death through the town of Black Rock in his misguided effort to seek absolution.
David Odle has, once again, written a brilliant horror novel with a touch of the supernatural. He has a talent for finding the perfect balance of heart-pounding thriller, suspense, horror, and paranormal. Black Rock has it all. The reader is drawn into the thoughts and emotions of the characters to the point where it’s impossible to turn away. We need to know what will happen next. Even the unrealistic is believable in the hands of this author. Because the horror aspect is not over the top, this novel would appeal to those who normally shy away from the genre yet love a good mystery or thriller. But, when you finally close the book and turn off the light, you will pull the covers a little tighter. A highly recommended read. Hopefully, a sequel is in the works.
Sublime Line: “Black Rock is another fantastic novel from David Odle, making this a must-read for horror, thriller, suspense, and paranormal readers alike.”
