(More customer reviews)If you're looking for Christian fiction that delivers a message without preaching, you'll love "Ezekiel's Shadow."
David Ryan Long subtly builds the suspense, while bringing us deeper into the tortured world of horror novelist, Ian Merchant. Merchant, though, has had a change of heart: he wants to follow God. This presents a problem as he begins working on his newest novel, with a deadline hanging over his head. And that's not all that's hanging over his head! Merchant begins receiving disturbing messages that indicate his past is coming back to haunt him. He ends up keeping an eye out vigilantly for this mysterious intruder.
David Ryan Long draws us into his character's world, and we relate to his struggle for something deeper in his walk with God. Despite Merchant's decision to turn to a new life, it doesn't all come easy for him--and that makes it seem real. Though Merchant's marriage might come across exceptionally peaceful to many readers, and his lack of courage to face his stalker head-on might seem a bit pansy-ish (at least it did to me, once or twice), I related to him and related to the steps he took to find answers. The ending seemed a bit rushed to me and didn't totally pay out on the suspense that seemed to be building, but the pieces all fit satisfactorily.
I will rush to store when Long's next book comes out. This is one author I'll be keeping an eye out for.
