PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Suppressed memories, a rampaging serial killer, a Native American curse, and a malignant spirit realm are just a few of the plot points jammed into this overstuffed supernatural horror novel from Rolfe (Blood and Rain). As a young boy in Spears Corner, Maine, John Colby witnessed the abduction of a friend who was later found murdered. Years later, John, who has no memory of the incident, has nightmares that transport him to Graveyard Land, a weird realm where he mingles with ghostly denizens who treat him as one of their own. Graveyard Land proves the nexus between a historical curse placed on Spears Corner by the Passamaquoddy tribe, who were displaced by the town's founding fathers, and the contemporary murder spree of Llewellyn Caswell, a John Wayne Gacy–type serial killer, but Rolfe has to torque his plot through a slew of underdeveloped incidents to connect these dots. Rolfe's fans will want to check this out, but others can safely skip it.
