A friend let me borrow He Waits and I am really thankful. I was wondering what was off about this read at the 30% point. It took me a minute, but I figured it out. It's the writing. It's so simple my 12 year old could read it. A wordsmith Faherty is not although it did flow very well. This read would have been better if the entire story was told by a child. Ron, the father in search of his children that "fell" down a well, was a real wimp and had a habit of over-thinking and making everything ab...
JG Faherty’s “He Waits” is another excellent novella in Delirium Books’ ongoing series.It begins with a frightening tragic death-Ron Francis’s younger brother Stu is dragged into a well by a monster right before his eyes. Assuming nobody will believe him Ron says Stu fell into the well, and maintains that lie for more than 30 years. When Ron returns to his deceased father’s property, his own sons fall victim to the same fate as Stu. Determined to save his children and come to terms with this dem...
This is the story of Ron Francis. His brother fell in a well when they were children and died. At least that's what Ron told everybody. What really happened is far more sinister. Now 30 years later, his sons have fallen down the same well, and fearing they have succumbed to the same fate as his brother, he decides to go down the well after them. What he finds down there is far more horrifying than he could ever imagine.This was chilling and gruesome and horrible. I loved it. It's a quick read, a...
Good bookI probably would have given it 3 1/2 stars if we could give half stars. Well written, kind of freaky, the ending definitely not for the squeamish.
This book would probably appeal to a younger audience, both for its prose level and the simplicity of the story. Basically a run and chase monster story with little character development or real scares along the way although I probably would have liked it as a kid.I also read The Cold Spot by this author which was slightly better. 3.5 stars but suffered from the same problems.
A terrific piece that any fan of horror will enjoy. A brilliant premise, fantastic writing, and a shocking twist. Can't recommend it highly enough.
