As I have reviewed many books by horror author Lex Sinclair, so I would like to provide our readers with an overview and commentary of his most recent works.
The Frozen Man, Rhos Meadow, Nobody Goes There and Don’t Fear the Reaper – The latter novel is his latest release I reviewed, and it maintains the quality of writing I’ve come to associate with Sinclair.
The first book I reviewed was The Frozen Man. 
And even though it’s been quite a while since I read it, there are some sections I remember vividly. More importantly, I remember the character of the overall story. It follows a loving couple who can’t get past their difficulty of having children of their own, only to have this weakness exploited by a mysterious entity. The characters were well thought out and sincere, and Sinclair played on this perfectly. Sinclair had a new fan as I reached the cold and intense ending.
Then Rhos Meadow landed in my email, and I was 
thrown a little off track. I could recognize Sinclair’s clear and precise style, but at the same time he surprised me with his plot choice. This was the moment I realized Sinclair knows how to sidestep a very dangerous trap. The quality of his work is predictable, but his choice in how things unfold is not something you’ll anticipate. This particular book reminded me of The Mist, by Stephen King.
The next few times I received a book in the mail it kept getting better, and yes, Don’t Fear the Reaper lived up to my expectations. Then, the sequels followed (Don’t Fear the Reaper Book 2 and 3), cementing the reasons why I have added Sinclair to my favorite list. Over the last months, I noticed how Sinclair grew deeper into his subtle details and particular execution. I’ve also seen him reinforce his love to build up the tension before striking with some clearly described scenes of death and horror.
For a relatively young writer, Sinclair definitely has an old-school approach. From the first paragraph, you’ll notice how much respect he has for the English language and how well he strings his sentences together. It’s disciplined, but not restrictive. It’s picturesque, but not boring. If nothing else, you’ll appreciate the obvious effort he puts into telling a captivating tale of horror.
What you’ll also find very impressive is the subject matter of his books. You never really know what he’ll come up with next, or where it’s going to happen. This is especially true about his choice of characters. Each book has its own colorful cast and Sinclair makes a point to keep them unique.
The type of readers I would recommend his work to are individuals who love incredibly descriptive settings. If you enjoy a story that paints a complete picture in your mind, Sinclair will do it beautifully. He’s also an author who caters to a patient audience. He’ll take his time and get the reader heavily invested before he makes his chilling move.
I want to say that he’s a great up and coming writer who has already found his voice. He’s already proven that he’s capable and talented.
I recently had the pleasure of reviewing his latest book, namely One Eyed Monster, (my review will be published shortly) and I wasn’t disappointed. I especially enjoy his slightly more casual approach, and I hope to read a lot more from Sinclair.
