Suspense Master!

John Saul is the king of suspense. He leads you every which way when he writes. There is not a boring moment I've ever come across in one of his books, he keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time, he is amazing at the suprise ending, occasionally i have to read lines twice because I am so suprised. I once read the end to his book three times hoping it would change everytime. I have never witnessed an end to his book where every one "lived happily ever after." In fact some of his endings almost make you want to cry. You could be having the best day of you life and you sit down to read one of his books and you ened up feeling more depressed and scared than you could ever remember feeling, ever. I once read a part of his book and couldn't go to sleep for fear that my dead aunt's ghost would rape me, i don't have a dead aunt. I've read Stephen King, I've read Dean Koontz, and in my mind nobody can compare to the style, and the knock you off your socks, make your bones chill writing of John Saul.



The Can You See Her



Prolouge

It was the end of the war, he was finally coming home. She had waited for husband years, he was the most dedicated man anybody had ever met. He had loved his wife with a passion, but smething had changed, he had seen so much, he could no longer trust anybody. As his wife looked out the window she beckoned for him to come inside, she would have rushed out into the arms but tonight it was raining harder than it ever had in her forty-eight years. She saw him start for the house, but he turned and headed for the shed, she had never been in their shed, that was his personal space. Maybe he'd had something hidden in there for her, a gift or something, she couldn't wait. But there was something in his eyes it was different she had never seen anything in his eyes except for love, ever since the day they met. What had the war done to him.

"Oh well, when he sees me his eyes will change, back to those beautiful blue saphirres they had always been." she said to comfort herself.

she was wrong, he had changed.

"God Da** this rain!" whispered the man as he slipped. "But it'll be da** perfect, nobody will ever know." He enteredthe shed, grapped his axe, and headed back to the house.

"It's perfect!" she exclaimed. " "We'll take it." Althogh Joan had told her husband that she would wait for him to make any decisions she was so blown away by this housethat she couldn't wait."He might be a little angry, but when he sees how amazing this house is! And the price, what a steal." She was excited, but curious. "If you don't mind my asking, why is the house so cheap?"
"Well The locals believ it's haunted, a man killed his wife, chopped her head clean off with his axe. He buried her right here on these grounds, then people believe he dug a ditch, chopped his own head off, and the rain covered him up. Three years ago a family was diggindg for a pool, they found the two bodies, and the axe. Spooked'em right outta the house. But you seem like a rational person, you don't have any problem with that do you?" The real estate agent had told this story so many time she was almost spooked by it. Bad timing is always a b****, just as she had told the story Joan's seven-year-old son, tyler had walked up.
"Mommy, i don't think i want this house that story is scawy." He said almost crying.
"It's okay, we'll have daddy shoot the ghosts if they bother us." Joan told her son in the most motherly voice anybody had ever heard. Sean, her hsband, was a war veteran.
As they left the son looked back to see his new house he was actually kind of excited about his new house. He had explored it, picked out his room, and as he looked back at the window he saw an ball looking floatig object. Was it really haunted? It didn't matter his daddy would get rid of the ghosts, his father the war veteran.
