From the supplier: City planners and public works directors are correcting the effects of opportunistic land developers of the 1950s. In Calvert County, Maryland, planners are struggling with subdivisions approved before public facilities were required. In Cape Coral, Florida most of the city fell into one subdivision owned by a New York real estate company. In 1994, the city began a $100 million project to hook up sewer and water systems. Property owners were assessed $10 thousand per lot, twice the value of most of the lots. Many owners simply abandoned their property rather than pay. In Rio Rancho, New Mexico, the city used the power of eminent domain to acquire an entire subdivision, then sell it to developers.

typical mid-range occult horror.......2002-06-17

I've read worse, but it could be a lot better. For example, early on the reader gets glimpses of Alana's overall plan but the details are never actually explained. The romance between Alana and Luther is entirely gratuitous and painfully predictable. Most of the characters are far too convenient and the 'throwaway' Malina's two-dimensionalness is not excused by her swift demise. I think the Irish should feel insulted by this schmalzy glamourisation of their pagan history.

Ungrateful Dead.......2000-06-28

Although UNGRATEFUL DEAD is not one of Holleman's better efforts, it can be an entertaining read. His characters are identifiably good and evil, with a simple, straightforward plotline that moves from point A to point B with little digression.

Don't Bother!.......1999-03-09

Don't waste your time...the characters aren't even as good as cardboard! the writing is juvenile! and the plot is pathetic! Not worth the time or money!
