Cain by James Bryon Huggins – 3-Stars
Publisher: WildBlue Press
ISBN: 9781947290808
The plot of Cain might be appropriate for a shallow action/horror film, but I
did not enjoy this as a novel despite being well written. The lengthy
description of the pseudo-science used to create and awaken a monstrous giant
wasn’t close to credible, and, thus, beyond belief and interest. It consisted
of a jumble of stereotypical characters and contained tired plotlines: a
Frankenstein Monster, a vampire, potential death on a planetary scale, a little
girl needing saving, a devout priest, a macho hero, and devil worshipers. It
wasn’t anything new that hasn’t already been done before more successfully.
There is enough action to keep the story flowing, but the dialogue and characters
are flat and shallow.
