Review: HELLWEG'S KEEP by Justin Holley

Review of Science Fiction Horror Novel

HELLWEG'S KEEP by Justin Holley is a delightfully complex and terrifying (in the best way) not-too-far-future offworld Science Fiction novel. On a distant planet's moon, a mining operation run by an extremely eccentric and reclusive owner suddenly loses a number of miners, with no trace, and then a search party also vanishes. The FBI on Earth is contacted, and a hard-driven female agent with her own tragic background arrives together with a set of Paranormal investigators hired by the mining company.

HELLWEG'S KEEP neatly combines Sci Fi, magic, Cosmic Horror, religion, metaphysics, into a tapestry more extensive than either reader or characters expect, in an engrossing, exciting, and adventurous narrative in which the action and terror is non-stop. The Pride element, family devotion, issues of mental illness, and suicide are capably and sympathetically.

Cautions:
Suicide
Mental Illness
Depression
Psychic Visions
Pagan Religions
Cosmic Horror
Sacrifice
Violence (non-human)
Deception, Illusions
Narcissism, Emotional Absence, Domestic Abuse
