Lost Man's Lane by Scott Carson

You rarely get answers to questions that you don't ask.

Well, damn...

Lost Man's Lane is a whopper of a coming-of-age story. The nostalgia that fills these pages is overwhelming, and the wisdom with which it allows this book to explore the harsh truths of entering adulthood is as effectively specific as it is undeniably universal. Pairing this coming-of-age tale with a supernatural mystery allows Scott Carson (pen name of Michael Koryta) to ingeniously analyze the fluid line between fact and fiction without ever diminishing the book's overarching coming-of-age themes; family, friendship, responsibility, home and identity.

Fiction or fact is actually up to the reader. The right novel at the right time might tell a deeper truth than a biography.

Carson's prose is effortlessly readable, putting us straight into the shoes of our main character, Marshall Miller. I love a good, small-town coming-of-age story to begin with, but having been only three years younger than Marshall, in 1999, made the nostalgia hit home significantly harder, and created a staggeringly immersive reading experience. Add onto that a cast of immensely likable characters and a high-concept, wholly unpredictable supernatural murder mystery? I found it extremely hard to step away from this book, even for food or sleep.

A lot of the most important things occur to you too late.

Seriously, Carson has created something truly special with Lost Man's Lane . While this is primarily a coming-of-age story, the supernatural thriller elements are so effectively and economically delivered that the change of atmosphere is only ever jarring in ways intended, filling the pages with an unbearably suspenseful dread that strikes with a venomous bite.

The haunting power of any ghost relies not on entrances into our world but on almighty absences from it.

Despite the plotting not always going in the direction I was hoping it would, it always goes in the direction the characters take it, staying true to them and their world. And the supernatural elements, while occasionally unclear, also fit the world of the book, and the thematic resonance that lies within them hits like a truck in the final act, giving Marshall and those around him closure that's as honest as it is complete.

"Nobody is promised a second chance at getting home safe. You will learn that."

9.5/10

Killers (1997)

My rating: 3/10

They really thought they were doing something with their whole "shooting a faux-Tarantino gangster movie in the style of a horror movie" shtick, huh?
