Genre: Literary Fiction, Science Fiction/Fantasy ![]() ![]() ![]() For me, those were the strongest parts of the book. ![]() The dynamic between the characters is intriguing, and I enjoyed the action when they were all together for the first time. And Daniel Slaughter, who writes young-adult Christian horror with strong moral lessons. Sebastian Cole, the elderly statesman/Stephen King type who has had decades of both commercial success and literary street cred. Moore, the take-no-shit weaver of extreme horror that likely would have been labeled splatterpunk three decades ago.

He spends most of his time teaching at the local university and trying to keep his marriage from falling apart. Our protagonist is Sam McGarver, an author who has had some initial success but has hit a creative dead-end. He takes on classic themes and pays tribute to a long lineage of gothic/ghost stories: the writer protagonist with a troubled past a house haunted by an historic injustice curses that spread like a virus to destroy all infected and a supernatural presence that preys on its victims’ emotional vulnerabilities.

Why do so many transformation efforts produce only middling results? One overarching reason is that leaders typically fail to acknowledge that large-scale change can take years. Kotter’s lessons are instructive, for even the most capable managers often make at least one big error. ![]() A second lesson is that critical mistakes in any of the phases can have a devastating impact, slowing improvement and negating previous gains. Skipping steps creates only an illusion of speed and never produces a satisfying result. One lesson is that change involves numerous phases that, together, usually take a long time.
