Allison

Jeff Strand writes a very fun brand of horror. Allison is the story of a women who can control peoples muscles with her mind when she gets emotional, but has little control over it, tending to break people and kill them by accident. She has spent most of her life hiding this ability. This Tarantinoesque story follows what happens when a local mafioso becomes aware of her abilities and tries to control her. This is very much into the splatterpunk territory with a gruesome body count. The story drives along at a breakneck speed and is just downright fun. The characters are well rounded and the silly premise is used to generate a suitable level of entertainment. Is this highbrow literature? No. Is this a lot of fun? Hell yes
