MY REVIEW:
I received an advance copy of The Leper Window by Frazer Lee from Netgalley in exchange for an
honest review. This is said review. This book is published by Samhain.
Frazer Lee is another new one on me but when I saw this
short story on NetGalley I thought I would give it a go. I liked the
description. Sounded intriguing. Did it live up to my expectations?
Daniel Gates has “acquired” a book for his client Mr
Rothschild. The book is called Choronzon’s Grimoire. It’s an ancient book of
apparently very high value.
Mr Rothschild discovers there is a page missing from the
book and this obviously diminishes the value for his client. He isn’t happy and has demanded that Daniel track down
the missing page and restore the book to its original condition.
On his quest to find the missing page, Daniel must battle
firstly his hangover, then an ancient occult evil to try and restore the book.
This is a short story. You could probably read it in an
hour or so. I have to admit to having mixed feelings about this one. I liked it
but found it to be a bit confusing. It looks like Daniel Gates has been a
character in a previous book and this wasn’t really made clear in the blurb so I
felt a bit out of order reading this one
without the previous one. There are things talked about in this one that might
have made more sense having read the earlier book.
