The unnoticeables

This is on the shelves as 'horror' which I suppose it is, but could equally be filed under 'thriller' - genre boundaries are blurred and some supernatural thrillers are more the 'supernatural' bit of it - ghoulies and ghosties and not too many people waving guns about - while others are more the 'thriller'. The Unnoticeables is however also full-on gorefest at times, but what raises it is the characterisation and the humour. Told in two threads - one in the punk scene of 1970s New York and one in the demi-monde of 2013 LA - the threads are openly connected to one another - it is refreshing in a way not to have the author fudge about how they are related. The 1970s thread at least is funny as well, his bunch of misfit punks trying to do What Must Be Done while putting on an air of nihilism - which of course doesn't quite work for them. Kaitlyn on the other hand is a woman much more on the edge, paranoid as all let go and of course quite happy to break out the armaments - that and being a stunt-woman (though mostly doing bar work because physically you can't do stunts all the time - they hurt and you need to recover) gives her an interesting survivability.
One small edit I wanted to mention: rails that haven't had trains on them for a while are rusty, not dusty. This is a plot point which some zealous subeditor has, I suspect, corrected wrongly.
The author isn't above lampshading events either: I'm sure your characters did expect to see a black goat's head and a pentacle at that point, just when your reader is thinking 'a bit Dennis Wheatley, this section'. (and your reader has of course written scenes like that!)
An enjoyable read.
