      Vengeance Child contains a myriad of elements which, thankfully, when mixed together produce an interesting approach to horror fiction. It's refreshing to have a malevolent child at the centre of a horror yarn which doesn't originate from Oriental fiction. Clark's demon child is far more akin to Damien, offering a haunting undertone, which may not be equal to that of Seltzer's Omen, yet is engaging enough. Add to that a desolate island and a power hungry and ruthless mayor, and there is enough for a TV mini-series. This is a pacey book and although the characterisations are somewhat two-dimensional, it's easily forgiven since it moves so fast. The breakneck speed continues in to the conclusion, which is somewhat predictable and rushed, however getting there is pleasurable enough. It's reminiscent of older school horror and although it could have been darker, the terror escalated further, Vengeance Child is still a horror story worth reading.
