Vanish
by Tom Pawlik
What would you do if everyone around you simply vanished?
A magnificent and highly unusual storm appears, leaving Connor Hayden,
Helen Krause, Mitch Kent, and Devon Marshall adrift in a world where
everyone has vanished. Together these four struggle to understand just
what is happening to them. Hallucinations about their pasts haunt them
but it is the whispering voices and the faceless entities that frighten
them the most. Is there any hope at all in this terrifyingly empty
world?
VANISH is a phenomenal blend of Christian fiction and horror. The
contrasts of lightness and dark along with good and evil are shown
throughout the tale. Each and every element of the story has a specific
meaning that is gradually revealed as the tale unfolds. I hesitate to
explain further for fear of ruining the overall story but suffice to
say that the imagery is extraordinarily well done. The twists and turns
the story takes are fascinating and well thought out. In fact, VANISH
is one of those books that is even more stunning once you reach the
conclusion and see how all the pieces and images fit together.
VANISH is frightening in its intensity. The tension builds to a
startling crescendo as one can’t turn the pages rapidly enough.
Character development is critical as the reader begins to feel for the
plight of each and every character. The diversity of the
characters enhances the suspense as one wonders just what the common
denominator is between them. Bravo, Tom Pawlik, for crafting such a
gripping storyline!
