The Nature of Balance by Tim Lebbon

The Nature of Balance by Tim Lebbon was received direct from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Tim Lebbon is one of the true masters of modern horror. This book, as others have stated, has its moments of horror and those moments are good, but far between. The reader is then pulled down in minutiae about the characters, what they are thinking, blah blah. Some love this in novels, though I dont know. I was detracted me from the story, hoping it would quickly return to the book of horror. Overall the book lost me and I found myself skimming a lot. If you like "thinking mans" horror stories this is for you, if you haven't read this author, perhaps you should start with another one of his newer works.
