Query: Unreadable "horror"

I have read a lot of horror books the past years. I think this is the worst of them all. Bad written, terrible character descriptions and a story that is impossible to like. Very naiv, shallow and bad plot through out the entire book. OK, maybe he can be excaused since this is a first novel from Mr Goingback. You cannot call it a horror book. I was not at least terrified by it. Writers like Richard Matheson, Graham Masterton, Peter Straub and Stephen King can really enchant a reader in horror. On the cover of my paperback copy it said "Winner of the Bram stoker award" I cannot believe how that can be true. However I will try to read some of his recent books and see if he has made any progress in how to make a readable horror novel. But take my advice. This book is not worth spending time on.
