The Best Books of 2005: #4


Retribution, Inc is a band on the verge of success. But they’ve lost their guitarist and the replacement has a unique problem. When he plays, his fingers bleed.

The musical details are accurate. The band acts like every group of musicians I’ve ever known. Huge egos, jealousies and insecurities get in the way.

The horror is doled out in small bits, but when it does show, it’s convincing and chilling.

More importantly, the writing is so good, you’ll want to read Retribution, Inc. in one sitting.

Then you’ll want to read it again.
