Whitley Strieber Billy
Time Warner Paperbacks 0708849016 / 9780708849019 PAPERBACK Good
0708849016 From Publishers Weekly nStrieber's latest (after Communion ) is by turns gripping, plodding, truly horrifying and, finally, falsely sunny. Fat, 40-ish Barton Royal, kiddy-clown in an L.A. bookstore, is obsessed with pubescent boys. He wants to be their father but when they turn against him he has a black room for their punishment. Seeing 12-year-old Billy Neary in an Iowa shopping mall, Barton is smitten. He follows the boy home, craftily and boldly abducts him and begins a nonstop drive to L.A. The book alternates scenes of the devastation wrought on Billy's family, a national manhunt, Billy's growing awareness of his peril and Barton's violent mood swings. We get chilling glimpses of Barton's past--he talks of skinning boys alive--and his plans for Billy. Bright, winning Billy is worn down almost to madness. Barton's tortured self-justification and Billy's brainy sweetness are believable but the other characters have much less depth. The bloody pater ex machina climax is followed by worse-than-expected revelations and an oddly upbeat finale that rings not quite true. nCopyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. n nProduct Description nWhen Billy Neary is kidnapped by Barton and taken across the country, his parents are frantic and the police search out the trail. Billy is smart and tries to forge a relationship with his deranged abductor but when he discovers two corpses, he and the reader realize that time is running out.
