I have just finished 'Dominion' by Wayne Sharrocks and absolutely adored it! It is essentially a dark psychogical thriller but combines the dark Gothic prose of Poppy Z. Brite with the subject matter/pacing of thriller writers like Ruth Rendell & Ian Rankin.
I read his debut novel 'Redemption' last year and though that was a good Gothic/Alternative thriller the latest literary offering was even better.
Definitely worth checking out for the Goth-hearted among you.
Tension...Terror...A great read.
I found this to be a strong well-written thriller that provided psychological insights, fast-pace action and prose that was both sharp and realistic. The characters were well defined and well written and the text emotive.I quickly became absorbed in the story and the pages flew by effortlessly towards a clever ending. Very impressive.
A taut psychological thriller...,
The main protagonist 'Karl Connor' leads us through this amazing well-observed tale. As Karl attempts to escape from the dark shadows of his youth, the terrors that he had experienced and the inner demons continue to haunt him. A chance meeting in a local public house leads Karl into a steamy love affair. Has he at last learned how to love and be loved?
What Karl doesn't know is that the object of his affection is Detective Sandra Ryder. She is hunting a serial killer who seemingly strikes at random. With few clues to follow and time running out, she fears that her fast-track career will end in failure...
As with Sharrocks' debut novel 'Redemption' I found this to be a taut, tension building psychological thriller that pumps the suspense out until the final page. Dominion is filled with great (& more importantly believable) characters that take you through a thrilling roller coaster ride.
Highly recommended!
