What Hides Within by Jason Parent My rating: 4 of 5 stars Clive Menard thinks nothing of it when he destroys some webbing whilst out kayaking - that is until he begins hearing a voice inside his head. Questioning his own sanity, he desperately tries to rid himself of the oddly feminine presence, but...
What hides within? Well, within the covers of this book, a rather dark story. I didn't find it too horrific, the gore was kept to a minimum too. In fact, in parts it was quite amusing and some of the banter even had me smirking as I read.Chester was an interesting character. Quite multi-faceted, wit...
This book strikes me as having been published prematurely. I found it frustrating to pay for a promising book and end up feeling like a beta reader of a work in progress. I think of a book starting out with five stars when I decide to buy it, and keeping a certain number as I read it. Th...
Ratatouille Meets Charlotte's Web, by Chuck Palahniuk. Where the hell do I start? Okay, I really liked this book. In fact this is the first time I've read a book of this length in a single day. My enjoyment would have been heightened, though, had I known what I was getting into. Since I don't rea...

As a matter of fact, I hate spiders and this dude (Clive) has cobwebs coming out of his nose and an ancient evil arachnid named Chester living inside his brain, making him slowly go insane. Nasty. Bummer for Clive...
What Hides Within is a solid debut horror novel built on a mystery/suspense engine. The author manages to combine serial bomber, child murderer, and supernatural plotlines effectively. There were a few times where I thought the characters made odd choices that seemed to only serve the plot instead ...
What Hides within by Jason Parent is a mystery/thriller/fantasy with well developed characters and descriptions so vivid the reader feels sees, smells, and experiences with the people in the story. It is that which gives the story five star quality - and the intensity.
I totally loved this book. I know, I know ... I've said it before ... but I only say it about books that I really do love.The main character (Clive) is awesome. I love his attitude, personality and witty comebacks. His conversation with the doctor at the beginning ... he thinks the same way I do. Yo...
