HOLD THE LIGHT

Author:
Ryan Sherwood

Drawing on our preconceptions of life, death, God, the devil and the existence of an afterlife, Sherwood's novel is both ambitious and offers an original take on the age-old 'Grim Reaper' theology. Often ambiguous and abstract in its thinking, it is clear that there beats the heart of a philosopher; however, despite the grimness of the subject matter and the morbid fascination with bloody murder, there is always a sliver of hope. Hold The Light is a brave effort and a decent story, suffering only from that professional finishing touch that would have ensured all minor errors, grammatical and otherwise, were eschewed. If you thought your life was bad - have pity on the poor sod who is Death.
