MADONNA by Ed Kelleher & Harriette Vidal (Leisure Books)
With both authors having backgrounds as rock writers or publicists, it’s no wonder to us that they’ve come up with a pretty scary book here. It’s all about the beautiful Madonna, who is evil incarnate. Not that Madonna, this one’s the mother of Satan hisself, the anti-Virgin Mary. She lures people to gruesome deaths, being the most seductive creature ever, and—in general—scares the unction out of Father James Hamilton, the priest dedicated to her destruction, having figured out who she is.
I haven’t read every Stephen King novel, but he’d be hard-pressed to match the terror that Starts with a food processor on page 135 and ends with a “hand, now reduced by a third" on page 137. Of especial interest to Catholics (and Catholic-haters), Madonna's your basic quick-read thriller, good enough to be a movie, and good enough to warrant a sequel. And good enough to keep me chopping carrots by hand. J.K.
