註釋**Sick, Twisted, Perverted. This is an experiment in horror. Read the following reviews**
Damon Hutter is not your friend. He is a man you will hate. Unfortunately, he is the only man who can usher in the dawning of a new age with Cthulhu and the old gods taking back their throne. He is the only one who can do what needs to be done. He's tough, rough and violent.
That makes him perfect for the job. ***WARNING: This book is hardcore horror***Review by Rev Fred NileBeyond Scary Rates this read as ... Outstanding effort in the by now drying well of the Cthulhu Mythos.
You wanted some Cthulhu, well Kiwi author Lee Pletzers delivers, let's sift through the omens. Lee Pletzers is taking one hell of a risk with this novel, his central point of view character isn't likable and to be honest is edging into hate territory through the course of the first block of the novel. There's a feeling during the middle section that Damon may add an additional "resurrection" theme to the book, but don't expect fluffy bunny outcomes. Damon is completely dislikeable but, and this is the important part, edges into almost anti-hero status. The risk of course is that inherently readers want a character they can relate to, someone that is ultimately good, however you aren't going to be latching on here. The danger is of course that the Writer will isolate the reader, take them out of the book, and ultimately deliver something that simply doesn't work. Pletzers thankfully pulls it off, and I was rocking out to the whole concept. You will be dragged along kicking and screaming as Damon cuts a bloody swath through the novel in pursuit of his personal fate.
Primarily the novel doesn't do what you expect it to do. In a normal narrative we would have Cultists trying to raise Cthulhu, a bunch of folk fighting to stop them, and ultimately a confrontation that can go either way depending on the Author's particular taste. What you get with Resurrection Child is a bunch of Cultists trying to raise Cthulhu, an opposition group that goes on a bloody rampage, and rogue cult elements battling to achieve the raising in a different fashion. At no stage do you get the purely angelic character fighting in acceptable fashion to stop the supposed apocalypse, everyone is tooled up here and dealing out death via an assortment of modern weaponry with extreme prejudice.
Pletzers had the requirement down pat, you don't hit hard core horror without getting down and dirty in the trenches, the Author isn't pulling out here he's going right for the jugular.

Advanced Review: 5 Stars out of 5 Cthulhu is coming! And it isn't going to be fun when he gets here.
For those of you who don't know who Cthulhu is, well he's one of the Elder Gods created by H.P. Lovecraft. But, was Cthulhu really created by Lovecraft or was that writer of truly disturbing horror fiction merely passing along hidden and forbidden knowledge inside his terrifying stories featuring unsettling entities that pre-date the human race?
Lee Pletzers' novel is about the basic struggle of good versus evil. Sometimes it's hard to tell which is which. Sometimes the Good Guys do some seriously bad things (all for what they figure is for the greater good) and the Bad Guys perform some incredibly heroic acts (for seemingly unselfish reasons.)
At its core Resurrection Child is a great, full-throttle, two-fisted, guns-a-blazing, action adventure tale. It's kind of like a Die Hard/Dirty Harry with Elder Gods gonna trash the entire Earth mish-mash that is totally engrossing.The action is fast and furious.The body count is enormous.The sex is perverted and hot.
All in all Resurrection Child is one fantastic wild ride.
I would highly recommend you buy a copy of Resurrection Child.It is strange, unique and entertaining.
