Synopsis

In a town built on madness and the macabre, even truth can be a deception ..."Welcome to Parkview" reads the rusted sign along the outskirts of town. The tarnishing letters seem inviting, yet foreboding and ominous. Is passing through such a wise idea? The destination may be more dangerous than the trip itself—an unapologetic journey through a town that thrives on wickedness. A place built on deceit and temptation. A spot forever cursed with soulless transients, an unforgiving nightfall, and merciless fiends hiding in the shadows beyond. The facade is peeled back just enough for you to see past its surface. There’s but a glimpse of the darkness that put Parkview on the map. Then you realize nothing here is a coincidence. In Parkview, it may be best to keep buried secrets quiet. In Parkview, even truth can be a deception.

Then, whe......more

Goodreads review by Ronald

Welcome to Parkview by Brian Paone is the most complex modern-day novel I have read. I have my own approach to reviewing a novel and it is completely useless in this case. There are more complex novels; many can be found in the classics, but they are complex for different reasons. There are modern d......more

Goodreads review by Lissibith

I marked this as horror, because that's certainly what it's billed as and what it's trying to be. It is pretty blatant about that fact -- the Stephen King references alone get tiresome. But in all honesty, I'm not sure quite how to classify it. I never found it scary, and rarely unsettling. Let me b......more
