Note - this was supposed to have posted during the review time - stupid internets!!!!
Posting it now...
I got a review copy of Bedbugs by Ben H. Winters and I must say I was immediately creeped out a little when I flipped through and the little black specks drawn on the title pages started to increase as you got further in to the book. Now, this is a spoiler free review, but I must say that Mr. Winter's voice in this, as seen through the main character is very light and makes this an easy read with a hint of that ominous overtone that you feel in the classic horror/suspense novels.
I really enjoyed the depictions of the city and the environs (being an ex-NY/NJ person) it made me miss the city.
This story has some great plot elements like the little room that smells occasionally, the ping noise and the odd, older landlady and repairman. There is so much built in to the story that keeps making you wonder, why did they say that - what is this leading too...
If you want a good book that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you read and if you love the classic horror novels that built the tension than this is the book for you.
You can get it pretty much anywhere... so go get it and read it in a darkened room....
