i'm about 100 pages in and i have to say it's pretty impressive for a first work.

he does one thing i like - a lot .. he doesnt feel the need to provide every little detail to describe the characters .. he builds a framework via the actions of the characters and lets you fill in the blanks yourself.

he also avoids a lot of other cliches i see in horror fiction all the time .. painfully obvious forshadowing ... silly characters ...

so far its pretty good ..
