Reviews of Dead Man's Eye by Shaun Jeffrey

Dan Karpf reviewed on Feb. 4, 2011

Joanna is the recipient of a new cornea, courtesy of a dead priest. She sees things that aren’t there like shadows and blames it on the surgery. Yet, nobody believes her and the terror begins. Is it an evil eye? Sorry, had to put that in there. This horror story is a riveting piece of work. Shaun Jeffrey captures what the horror fan wants; being on the edge of their seat.

Joanna Raines has just undergone a corneal transplant in one eye to stop her from going blind. It’s a complete success, but as it begins to heal she starts seeing shadowy coronas surrounding certain people.

Terrified that something is going wrong and she’s never going to be able to see again, or worse – that she’s going crazy, Joanna searches for answers.

What she finds out is much more difficult to believe than a simple operating complication. The shadows surrounding people are proof that demons are amassing to take over the human population!

Now, she is the only one that stands in their way. A young woman with the ability to see what they really are. She just has to convince everyone else.

I was pulled along with Joanna, anxious to see her come to the understanding that there were demons walking among us and to see what she was going to do about it. Twists and turns are seamlessly spun throughout the tale and, while not entirely unexpected, offered another level of suspense.

But the thing that stood out for me most in this novella was the quality of the prose. It fully immersed me in the tale. Fast-paced, with a lot of action, it doesn’t let you go for the entire length of the book.

Dead Man’s Eye is a lively-paced, well-crafted, eminently enjoyable read. I look forward to seeing more from Mr. Jeffrey.

I really enjoyed this book. I read it yesterday and I could not put this one down. When I first started reading it though I really thought it was similar in concept to the film "Jian Gui" and the American re-make "The Eye," but as I read on it was very different. If you like Thriller/horror and dark novels then I highly recommend this one

MILD SPOILER ALERT *******************************************

If ever there was an argument to be made in favor of intraocular lenses instead of organ donor transplants, Shaun Jeffrey presents it beautifully in "Dead Man's Eye."

Jeffrey's protagonist, is the recipient of a cornea from a deceased priest -- and the tissue allows her to see evidence of demonic possession. As an entire London hospital is taken over by demons, only she seems to understand.

Needless to say, authorities are not particularly interested in hearing what she has to say about the matter. And herein lies the tale, as she tries to let people know what is happening only to have the rug yanked out from under her time and again.

Jeffrey spins out a well-considered tale, with twists and turns galore. I enjoyed reading this eBook edition and hope to see more from this author.
