MY REVIEW:
I received an advance copy of Within by Keith Deininger
from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is said review. This book
is published by DarkFuse.
I have only ever read Ghosts of Eden by Keith Deininger
before. Although I enjoyed it, I struggled with it a bit. Felt like I had been
on a weird “trip” when I had read it. Due to this experience I went at Within a
little bit on the cautious side. I knew I liked his writing. I was just a bit
freaked out with the previous one. I needn’t have worried.
Mesa Rapids is a weird town. The rich live on the top of
the mountain. The poor live in the valley. The horror doesn’t care where it
lives.
Wealthy, reclusive art collector, Harold Klimt moves into
the dilapidated Upshaw Mansion. He likes to throw lavish parties for the Mesa
Rapids elite. Colin Thorne, a young artist, and his friends sneak into a party
one night and he inadvertently gets offered a job by Mr Klimt to paint a mural
in his basement. He has no idea what he is going to paint and neither has Mr
Klimt. Or has he? Being paid huge amounts of money convinces Colin to take the
job.
Colin becomes obsessed with his mural. He doesn’t know
about the town’s horrific history. He doesn’t know that what he’s doing has the
potential to unleash unknown horrors. He will soon find out.
