The Denver Rocky Mountain News called The Totem one of the "10 Scariest Books" of all time. Horror: 100 Best Stories called it "one hell of a frightening novel". But if you think "horror" means ghosts, vampires, and children of the devil, think again. The Totem plunges you into an all-to-real visceral terror made all the more terrifying because it is timely.
