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.
