I finished reading dead Lines, at last.Interesting... very interesting.
It's not a horror, or even a chiller really.
Very thought provoking though. It ponders quite effectively the question of what happens to us when we die, where we go, how we get there, and what would happen if some new technology dissrupted that transition.
Unlike his best work though, it was hard to suspend disbelief. The idea was better than the execution, The visuals were good, if that makes sense when describing a book, but the bones of the idea poked through the flesh of the characters and story.
Still, if like me you don't conform to any recognised religion, don't buy the idea that when you die you go to heaven, but do think there's 'something' other than what we know in life, then it's worth a read... if only for a variation on an old idea to toy with for a while.
