Cinema of Shadows (Harmony, Indiana #2)
Michael West's Cinema of Shadows is the most fun I've had between the pages of a book in a long time. I honestly can't remember the last time I felt so compelled to keep my wife awake for just a few minutes longer, so I could read just one more scene aloud, only to feel the need to finish just one more chapter.It's just that kind of book.This is supernatural horror at its darkest, wildest, and most unapologetic. It's a story populated by ghosts, poltergeists, demons, and psychic phenomena, and
Have you ever wanted to go on a ghost hunt? If so, read this novel first for some excellent practical suggestionsno smoking for a start. And if not, enjoy this ghost-hunting tale for the vicarious thrill of a truly scary encounter with the ghosts of a crumbling cinema.If this place isnt haunted, it sure is dressed for the part, muses one protagonist, and the Woodfield Movie Palace truly issumptuously classic, haunted with history, fallen into decay, and destined for demolition.

Cinema Of Shadows is a Horror Thriller.When Kimberly Saunders was born, her mother thought there was something wrong with her, she was positive that Kim could speak with ghosts. As Kim grows she has an event which occurs on a covered bridge that leaves her dreams filled with nightmares.Present day, Kim is attending college and she and her roommate Tashima Ismail are attending a Parapsychology course. They, along with their classmates Kevin and Joss, are preparing a haunting for their class
At the risk of sounding too squee, let me preface with this: I absolutely loved this book. Over the last few years I've found myself increasingly bored with straight horror novels. Perhaps it's my perceptions as a writer (picking out storytelling elements and good things gone cliché automatically instead of gleefully falling for them) or the by-the-numbers or just-like-Stephen-King styles that are prevalent. Regardless I find myself looking for something just plain different.Cinema of Shadows
Cinema of Shadows is a great continuation of the Harmony, Indiana series by Michael West. Again, West gives us characters that we want to follow along with and find out what happens to them. He draws us in right from the start and there is no question that something big is going on in this story. This story is fast paced without sacrificing character development or descriptive settings. I highly recommend this to any horror fan along with the entire Harmony, Indiana series.

Welcome to the Woodfield Movie Palace. The night the Titanic sank, it opened for business...and its builder died in his chair. In the 1950s, there was a fire; a balcony full of people burned to death. And years later, when it became the scene of one of Harmony, Indiana's most notorious murders, it closed for good. Abandoned, sealed, locked up tight...until now. Tonight, Professor Geoffrey Burke and his Parapsychology students have come to the Woodfield in search of evidence, hoping to find irrefutable proof of a haunting. Instead, they will discover that, in this theater, the terrors are not confined to the screen.Specify About Books Cinema of Shadows (Harmony, Indiana #2)

I liked the book. It was nicely paced, but I agree with Jason about the characters. Not just Kim and Tyler but also Joss and Tashima. The characters makeup reminded me of some made for TV movie on the SciFy channel. I think this approach was intentional and the author was having fun with it. The focus was not necessarily on the characters but the demons and the props they faced. Their responses to those various encounters made the story work for meMichael West's Cinema of Shadows is the most fun I've had between the pages of a book in a long time.
