That was an excellent story. Very original and emotional. It held my attention throughout and was hard to put down.

Wink by Eric Trant

Twelve year old Marty Jameson has a drug dealing father, a Mother who goes into violent psychotic rages, and a brother who is comatose. He finds solace in his attic.

The girl next door, Sadie Marsh who is in a wheel chair becomes obsessed with Marty. It is not long that when she disobeys her Mothers orders to stay away from the Evil house, and makes friends with Marty.

One day Sadie sees huge black winged creatures in Marty's attic. It is up to Marty to save his new friend and her Mother from the supernatural horrors within his house.

Both Marty and Sadie are likable. Marty has a very dysfunctional family, while Sadie lives with a loving and (a bit over protective) Mother. But this does not stop the two from becoming friends.

The plot is original, and fresh. Story moves at a fast pace, with a lot of suspense , action and drama. Overall I feel those who like a good supernatural horror story will enjoy Wink.

Sometimes we hear a voice. Deep at times, at times trembling on the very edge of hearing, a vibration, a whisper. A voice that reaches into your soul and changes what was there before. Rarely do you find these voices, but when they do, they are to be cherished.

Eric Trant has that voice. He speaks of the darkness in the human soul. The pain, the agony of savagery and brutality, of hopelessness and agony too deep to bear. Of the absolute depths of what can pass for a human soul. I could taste Trant’s characters on the back of my tongue, copper and brass and old, diseased blood. Smell the decay of souls rotted beyond redemption.

Yet on top of that, he layers a sheen of hope, a blue-shimmering breath of possibility, scented and yet not seen. Two children, separated by the width of a yard, and by a chasm of darkness without end. One child broken, trapped within her house, neat and tidy and real. The other living inside a nightmare with no end: "It was a place where the unburied dead mired themselves between life and death. It was a place of half-living, half-dead, spiritless creatures, and except for Marty, what lived there did not walk and dwell like other living things, but crawled and crept and slithered and hid from the light."

So much of this book is lived within the ‘real world’. A world of poverty, drug addiction, hoarding, hatred and child abuse. A world of no hope, no joy, no possibilities. And then, things begin to change . . .

Thrilling, painful, heart-rending and yet hopeful. All of these things and more. I highly recommend this book, no matter if you like thrillers and paranormal, or are up for some heavy-duty literary fiction. The book walked right inside me and turned on a light in a dark place.
