Cairnwood Manor author Bob Freeman has just posted a review. Here is an excerpt: " The Wide Game...is a book written for horror movie fans. With cinematic pacing, Michael West draws the reader in with a director's touch. With a deft hand, West creates wonderful characters who live and breathe on the page. It was easy for me to allow Michael to lure me into those terror filled rows and make me cringe at what might lurk<br> there in the dark. Michael West has...undeniable potential to be an important voice in the realm of horror fiction." Read the full review here: cairnwood.blogspot.com/2007/02/byte-marks-vol-1-no-7.html

[glow=red,2,300]Halloween Author Loves The Wide Game [/glow] An excerpt: "Michael West proves himself to be a masterful storyteller, flawless in building momentum, and his skills in characterization match or even often surpass some of the most successful writers in the business. This is a first-rate novel, well edited and no holds barred. My jaw dropped, quite literally, at more than a handful of turning points in the story that I just didn't see coming, and I oftentimes couldn't put the book down. I know that's a pretty cliché phrase, but coming from me......well, that sort of intense preoccupation just doesn't occur too often. "This is a work of first-rate terror and suspense, and for the seasoned reader sports a refreshingly original story methodology as a means to scare the wits out of you. This is his first novel, and I'll be watching the career of Michael West with sincere interest in his works to come. "And I'll never look at corn fields the same way again." —Nicholas Grabowsky, author of Halloween 4: the Return of Michael Myers, and The EverbornRead the full review on Mr. Grabowsky's website: www.downwarden.com/Nick%20Read%20&%20Reviewspage3.htm#The%20Wide%20Game

[glow=red,2,300]Wide Game gets "wicked stamp of approval"[/glow]
"4.5 out of 5...This is simply a well-written tale of terror that could easily be transformed onto the big screen. Don't open the cover unless you want to be sucked into a tornado of horror. Once you start in on this novel you won't be able to pull away...A believable, dark, nasty, piece. I give it my wicked stamp of approval...Just remember the name Michael West because he has a future in the horror genre." —Brian Yount, Wicked Karnival Magazine
