Horror World reviews BOTTLED ABYSS!
Excerpt:
Benjamin Kane Ethridge’s new novel is the fifth release from Redrum Horror, an Austin, Texas operation of growing repute. Along with sister imprint Abattoir Press, the catalogue is growing and the future is looking bright.
Take, for example, Ethridge’s novel. At first it reads like a rehash of Pet Sematary. A couple’s marriage is on the rocks after their daughter is killed. One day, husband Herman wanders out to look for their missing dog and finds … the River Styx. OK, that is different. Now listen, folks, you have to have a lot of courage (or recklessness) to put the fabled River Styx in Southern California. And not just Styx, but personifications of Charon, et al. Ethridge reimagines the mythology, gives enhanced personalities to the legendary players, and plops it all in the middle of a human story of suffering and loss. It is a great idea and the author executes the narrative with a calm hand.
