After reading the first book I was hooked and left needing to read the next as soon as!!

Love the darkeness of this book, tom finds a cd on the tube and curiosity make him play the cd where he witnesses something gruesome!
Which then leaves him and his shopaholic wife in danger!


These books are so easy to ready they are so descriptive making it easy to imagine what’s going on.


Not only have you got crime solving going on in the book but you also get snippets of Roy graces life, what happened to sandy who one day just vanishes, will he ever get over it and accept that she is gone? Can he ever have a happy relationship with Cleo ?
  
The Fog (1980)

Classic Carpenter!
Director John Carpenter had a lot to live up to and deliver after his striking masterpiece Halloween. He decided to tell an old school ghost story about a coastal town in northern California which is cursed and subject to a mysterious "Fog" which rolls into town and carries ghoulies within its misty depths.

Not as well known or remembered as some other Carpenter works, The Fog still delivers some creepy scares and gruesome death scenes reminiscent of other Carpenter films.

Great cast of vintage horror icons like Janie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh and Adrienne Barbeau make the story more enjoyable and believable.

The film shows its age in parts, but is still an enjoyable horror classic.

An insight into another culture
A strong writing style and gripping story
Even though the story itself may seem far fetched, Kirino writes in a way that captures the bleakness and monotony of the women's lives and makes everything they feel, say and do seem so relatable and real that you don't question their motives or seemingly unrealistic decisions.
One of my favourite things about this book was portrayal of uncomfortable family dynamics and the odd state of limbo these women lived in, professionally and personally - something like looking into a window on another culture and generation.
It's a story that manages to be shocking, gruesome, almost inhuman but still somehow so comparable to our own world.
