"Marvelously creepy reading." -- Publishers Weekly on PRESSURE

Not my favorite Jeff Strand book

This past year or two Ive become a pretty big Jeff Strand fan. Ive managed to listen to or read every book hes put out fhat isnt a short story collection. Ive listened to the Andrew Mayhem series twice and Bring Her Back 3 times. This is basically unheard of for me. Ill reconsume a few cherished book series every 5 years or so, but almost never re-read anything. Anyways, on a sliding scale of his work this book is subpar. When compared to 90% of the other books I read and listen to, this is a solid 4 stars. It seemed a bit rushed and the dark humor Im used to experiencing seemed a bit lacking. Still Ill be spending another credit on the next book he pushes out.
