Book Reviews of The Fall of NeverBook Review: Modern gothic-style horror by talented new writer Summary: 5 StarsKelly Rich, aka Kelly Kellow before her marriage and divorce, lives in New York and is making a documentary film about people living with disabling conditions. At her side is Josh Cavey, her cameraman and good friend. Their subject? Nellie Worthridge, an enigmatic, and legless, elderly woman. In the middle of the project, after some disturbing film footage displays mysterious findings, Kelly receives a call that her sister has been hurt back home in the small town of Spires.
Kelly leaves for home, filled with trepidation at returning home for the first time since she was released from the Coopersville Female Institute for depressed or disturbed young girls. Josh finds himself in the role of caretaker for Nellie after the old woman suffers a stroke, along with Doctor Carlos Mendes.
The frail threads of unreality link these four people together. While Kelly must remember what she left behind in her past, Carlos must face the uncertain future of his unborn child. Nellie recognizes something in Josh's past, and understands how she herself is tied to Kelly.
'The Fall Of Never' is a very well-written, fantastical, mysterious, and shivering journey into our hearts, our entrenched abilities, and the souls from the past. It's a tale that creeps along the edge of insanity, speaks of vague memories haunting the mind, and travels through woods as dark as the soul of a madman. What haunts you from your past?
I highly recommend this book for lovers of creeping horror or gothic tales. Malfi's prose is flawless, surreal, evocative, and memorable without becoming boring. Definitely worth a buy. Enjoy.
