Review of The Devil's Eclipse
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Devil's Eclipse" by Christopher Williams.]
The book The Devil’s Eclipse by Christopher Williams is a series of strange stories about demonic and supernatural beings and their encounters with different people. The concept of this book according to the author was conceived from another realm and had been channeled through the author's mind for the reader's exploration and enjoyment.
The structure of the book is not very common, it's not everyday that you see a book that contains different stories centered on one theme. Although the stories in the book have the same theme they all have different storylines, different characters, setting, beginning and ending. The disparities in the storyline made the book more interesting for me.
Among other things, I found the brevity of the chapters most commendable. The contents of the book were brief, clear and straight to the point. The author was able to make his point with a few words and got his readers to experience what he wanted them to experience through the book without unnecessary twists and turns.
What I love most about the book are the detailed and graphic descriptions of the characters and actions. The author is very skilled in the art of using words to pictures in the mind of his readers. For example, "Then the boys all grabbed each other for comfort as they saw two large horns emanating from the cranium of a hulking black wooly head. It had the broad nose and thick lips found in the phenotypes of the descendants of West Africa along with sabre tooth canines and a front grill full of jagged incisors dripping with blood. His neck was filled with savage brawn that transcended into a plethora of ripping muscles in his trapezoids and back." Reading this, one could easily picture everything that the author wrote with his mind.
I love the horrific tone that the author set in the book. The true experience that the author wanted his reader to have in the book was a sense of fear and awe as they read the book. The sense of fear didn't just make the book real, it created suspense and in the book and eliminated boredom.
There is absolutely nothing that I disliked about the book.
The book was exceptionally edited, I found no error in the book. It's an amazing book. I would give the book a four out of four stars. If you enjoy a blend of science fiction, fantasy and horror, then I strongly recommend this book to you.
