Rob Thurman delivers yet another mesmerizing, twisted, entertaining story in the Cal and Niko series. Dark and brooding, with demons and hell a plain reality lurking just around the corner of the visible world, the universe of Madhouse is almost like our everyday lives -- if we woke up and discovered that our worst nightmares didn't stop when we opened our eyes.But Madhouse isn't a horror novel. Brothers Cal and Niko are not random and helpless victims of mindless violence. They are prepared to deal with whatever the darkness sends their way.
It is the relationship between the siblings, and their slow and grudging acceptance of others into their circle, that make Rob Thurman's novels real and powerful. And of course the amazing descriptions of monsters and the great fight scenes.
