Darkview: Psychosis by RJ Bathgate and M.J. Hall is a horror story that will have you shaking in terror. Jack Cyrus has had a tough life. Not only was he a witness to the Rwandan genocide in 1994, he lost his wife to cancer. Plagued by visions and memories he would rather forget, Jack is suffering from PTSD. To make matters worse, he also suffers from schizophrenia. On the sixth anniversary of his wife’s death, he gets a letter – from his wife. She says she is still alive and is being held captive. She wants him to return to Darkview, where she spent her final days, and rescue her. Jack goes and when he arrives, odd things begin to happen. A mystery that is centuries old begins to unfold and Jack has to solve it. Is this real or is it just a part of the schizophrenia that haunts him?

Darkview: Psychosis by RJ Bathgate and M.J. Hall is a horror story with a difference. It is a disturbing read about a man on a fast descent to hell, a man who must put himself back together to learn the truth. On one level, it is a psychotic horror story, yet, on another, it is the sad story of one man’s hellish and tenuous grip on reality and his own sanity. It is a thriller, a suspense mystery, and a horror story all rolled into one and, for those readers with a very active imagination, it will conjure up terrifying scenes. This is an edge-of-the-seat gripping story, one that holds on with long bony fingers until the bitter end. It moves fast and takes you on a journey to hell and back with excellent character development and a highly descriptive plot. This is one for readers who want to be plunged into a terrifying story with all the elements of a top-class thriller.
