Man, what a slog this novel was. Took me 10 days to read its 300 pages. Needless to say, I give it one star out of five.
The characters are really unlikable; and the plotting is so forced, it's like getting a prostrate exam with a lightsaber.
It's not surprising that Leisure Books published several of Pinborough's novels back in the day. Horror after the golden age of the 1980s seems to attract D list talent. Either they're imitating Lovecraft, or they're writing stories with wooden prose and cliched characters.
Insomnia. A novel so bad, it will put you to sleep.
