Owlman is a great paced, fun filled rollercoaster ride of the action-horror genre. Focusing on a group of friends who head out for a summer job it provides equal parts suspense and horror - with a few surprises on the way. The chapter stucture is similar to previous novels by Jonathan Nolan - story chapters interspersed with articles and other excerpts from the world/story. This helps the reader catch their breath and provides layered context for the story and the world in whicg the characters live.
Although not for the squeamish this is not as explicit as the Nightside series. It is also a complete story arc rather than a series of linked or intertwined shorter episodes.
A great read.
