The Attraction is my second novel by this author. The When I purchased The Attraction, I had no idea that it was the third part in a trilogy.

Douglas Clegg (born April 1, 1958) is a horror and dark fantasy author, and a pioneer in the field of e-publishing. Born in Alexandria, Virginia to a "family of artists", Clegg had "scribbled stories" from a young age and then started typing them at age 8 when his parents brought home a typewriter.

The plot involves five college students on spring break and headed for California. The three males and two females are traveling together but are not close friends except for two who seem to be constantly having some form of sex. The first part of the story deals with how the differing personalities interact. They are followed by two male students, one of whom considers one of the females to be his girlfriend (she is not interested in him.)

They have car trouble in the desert and hitch a ride to a gas station that offers a tour of various relics and dioramas reflecting Aztec lore. The tour concludes with presentation of a mummy that cannot be identified as either man or animal. The mummy is surrounded with warnings not to touch or to feed. They manage to demolish the display case and one of them decides to steal it for display in his fraternity house. After being exposed to blood and skin from one of the males, the mummy comes to life and starts slaughtering the participants one by one after they run out of gas in the middle of nowhere. The remainder of the story reflects the fate of the characters and reaches an unexpected conclusion.

I highly recommend the story!

The Attraction, story #1, is a great little piece about 1970's teenagers opening an Aztec Pandora's box when they smash a glass case open and release a little mummy (Scratch) with a BIG mean streak. There are the teenage archetypes: the Stoner, the Intellectual, the Regular Guy, the Bimbo, the Jock and each gets time trying to escape the blood-thirsty mummy. This is a fun read and the development of characters, feel of the times, is great. The story, captivating at first, petters a bit out at the end and, would have liked to see MORE! MORE SCRATCH! The second part is a short intro into the Harrow series. It was an interesting character development, hero to villain type of story. I have read some of the Harrow stories and find it does not add that much, but a good little story nevertheless. Clegg again dishes out the entertainment for horror fans with these two offerings.

Not that great. Could have been written better. The characters were 2-dimensional and at times, the writer seemed confused about what he wanted to say, so he just said anything that popped into his head. Could have ended better also.

The first time I became acquainted with Clegg's work was through this Harrow series with a novel called "Mischief" and let me tell you, the man can write! I still remember reading the book through the night and simply being unable to put it down. Just as with the other book, his writing is very smooth, easy to digest and simply impossible to put down. This book is really two short novels in one. The first being a 170 page story about an Aztec monster out for fresh blood in the desert and the second, an introduction to the Harrow series, about a man who was reborn as a monster with insatiable appetite for lust and sacrifices. Each one is so very different but it showcases Clegg's intense way of conjuring ideas and his ability to translate them into books that are easy to read. He's slowly becoming a staple on my bookshelf and I can always count on him for a fantastic mix of horror and fantasy that somehow feels real.

The first story is called "The Attraction" and its strength relies on the sharp and spot on character development. I adored the relationships he build between the five friends who went on a road trip though the dry, hot desert, somehow getting stranded in middle of nowhere, close to danger. I got to like some, dislike others and then I got to read about them coming across an ancient Aztec mummy, said to be the scraper of the bones who drank the blood and danced for rain in the ancient times on top of the pyramids. Its no secret that something happens and the monstrum comes to life, what happens next is the real beauty of the story. Be prepared for some gruesome devouring, the tale is good but ends a little tame for my tastes. Overall I love the characters and enjoyed the imaginative new nemesis that I have never read about before.

The second novel is about a very bad man who gets entangled in some very dark magic; it's a little intro to the wonderful Harrow series, about a haunted private school with many skeletons in its closet. It was a really dirty and intense story but really good at the same time, perhaps it's a good thing it was short because it was immensely dark and rich with truly horrific ideas.

I engulfed this book over the weekend and can't wait to get back to reading some more of Clegg, he's a real diamond in the rough and his stories entertain both the mind and the imagination.
