I wanted to share more about how I stumbled upon FPW and his work. Now I don't remember exactly what happened, but what I do remember is stumbling across this Lovecraftian like synopsis for a book called Nightworld. The description of the creatures got me wanting to read the book so very much. After looking into it some more I find out I need to read some more books to really appreciate the novel. Now I had stopped reading for about 7 years. I used to have a bookshelf full of Stephen King, Koontz, and a nice varity of fantasy and sci-fi novels. Katrina took that away. Water under the bridge or water through my house, whatever.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS for THE KEEP ahead...
So I thought ok, The Keep, sounds fun. Maybe it will get be back into reading. I was so right; I loved it. What probably intrigued me the most was the background behind Glaeken and Rasalom. I found it interesting how Glaeken made it clear he was not a good guy, or rather that he didn't represent the force of good. The entire conflict between the two felt personal much unlike most good vs. evil battles which feel destined. Months later I got my hand on The Tomb and that was that. I don't know why I love this sort of supernatural mystery/horror approach to storytelling. It simply fascinates me. I am halfway through Legacies now and you can be sure I will let you all know how I feel about once I am finished.
