Summary

Happy October, everyone! At long last, I present to you the first part of my review of Jonathan Maberry's phenomenal Halloweeny Pine Deep Trilogy, beginning with Ghost Road Blues.  Do you love vampires, werewolves, ghosts, the blues, small towns, serial killers, buddy cops, romance, chosen children, evil henchmen, mobsters, Halloween, spooky tourist attractions, small town politics, crime fiction, karate, samurai swords, zombies, ancient evil, long dormant secrets and dark pasts?  Well, you'll love Jonathan Maberry's Pine Deep trilogy.  Stephen King has never written the definitive love letter to Halloween, but now he doesn't have to, because Maberry beat him to the punch.  Trust me, if you love King's style and you love Halloween, you will love these three books.  I review the first one here, on the Stephen Kingcast.
