Furnace

On the back of this book alone Gray is worthy of the comparison to King. Some scenes were deliciously disturbing and supernatural whereas the one downright horrifying one was also quite mundane.
As a Scot I enjoyed Gray's references to places and things quite unrelated to the trans-American tale. Only downside was that where her main male characters were well-fleshed out the females, whilst integral to the plot, felt slightly sketchy.
Definitely worth a read and probably several rereads too.
