5Creepy and complex thriller!

Recommend this book who like to be involved and thought provoking mystery. It is set in a rural area where laws are broken and the law turns their eyes the other way. This mindset clearly corrupts people and the town becomes eaten up by the violets and most heinous crimes imaginable.

5This book was a really good read and very well written

This book was a really good read and very well written. They made the details of everything so vivid it was easy to put yourself right there in the story. What's creepy is it wouldn't be too far fetched for this exact type of thing to happen in real life.

4omg!

This book is a bit overboard, but in a good way. If you like gory, horrific, never want to walk in the woods again tales, this book is for you!

4Great Book

This book reminds me of earlier works by Stephen King, Dean Koontz, or John Saul...if you are a fan of and enjoy these authors then you will enjoy and become a fan of G. Bernard Ray. "The Final Shortcut" is the first book by this talented author and if his future books are like this one then Mr. Ray will have a long career ahead of him.

"The Final Shortcut" is a well-written horror story. In this book you do not get pages of details about each killing as you would find in a hack and slash movie and that is what makes this story even scarier. The adage of `less is more' is true here. I started this book and from page one I was hooked and stayed that way until I turned the final page. It is hard to describe how scary this book really is. What made this book so good is Mr. Ray did not bog the reader down with useless details about every kill Junior made; he gave just what was needed to tell that part of the story and that is what made the story even better.

A really uplifting review like this makes me proud that a reader "gets it"

A good story perks your imagination. Your mind fills in the spaces left intentionally blank and you travel into the story ever deeper.

I have a few blogs here and there. This one on Goodreads is a bit more professional, but the link above is for a blog that is more of a creepshow.
This blog has pictures and information about my more recent novel that is nearing completion. Take a moment to take a ride on my twisted imagination.

I have been writing twisted stories since my teens and they seem to be the only ones that I do with any great results. Anyone want to discuss the methods of creating these dark stories, or just interested in how I do it. Just respond and I will be happy to rap about it.
