About Nightshade
<span><span>Judged purely as a horror novel, <i>Nightshade</i> is undoubtedly a failure. But as an examination of a young couple's deteriorating marriage and loss of identity, it's a mild success. It's more of a literary-type novel, with subtle shadings of mystery and horror. While most genre writers would choose to highlight the mystery and horror elements, Marlowe decides to tell the whole story here: every aspect of their vacation is detailed, whether it relates to the creepy goings-on or not.<br><br>A married English couple, whose strange, "best friend"-like relationship involves no touching or intimacy of any kind, are vacationing in Haiti. After meeting a local houngan (voodoo priest), some weird, seemingly inexplicable things begin happening. Disembodied voices, subtle-yet-obvious personality shifts, and a suddenly crumbling marriage where the two find that they can no longer relate to each other. Is all this the result of some sinister voodoo, or is there a more rational explanation?<br><br>But that's just a small part of the story, as most of the novel deals with their day-to-day life during their vacation: meeting other tourists, wandering about, etc. Which is fine, but considering it was marketed as a "crackling psychological chiller," I went in with certain expectations. Had this been packaged as a literary novel with undertones of horror, I might have ended up enjoying this a bit more. <br><br>As it is, this is an extremely well-written, atmospheric slow-burner, with good characterization and just enough mystery and eeriness to keep me intrigued. And I agree with Nate D's comparison to Aickman as far as the ambiguous nature of the supernatural occurrences. Too bad there weren't more of them. </span></span>
