I remember reading THE CASTLE OF OTRANTO and being unable to decide if a minor character's death by way of a gigantic, crushing helmet was either the greatest thing I ever read or the stupidest thing I ever read. <br /><br />I heard about WIELAND thru the Newman & Jones book and it *sounded* like a fairly gripping courtroom drama with light accents of supernatural horror, but it seems like it turns into a bad (good?) episode of SCOOBY DOO once the ventriloquism rolls out.<br /><br />I actually kind of like the fact that the murders (from the sound of it) go completely unsolved and generally uncared for. It's both hilarious and actually kind of freaking creepy.Jose Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152405075039057304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-3650626533537449782012-10-01T12:18:14.285-04:002012-10-01T12:18:14.285-04:00Thank you, fellows.Thank you, fellows.bill r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17748572205731857892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-75963279432686333722012-10-01T11:56:09.576-04:002012-10-01T11:56:09.576-04:00Nice beginning Bill.
