Just got word… The Black Tower is now the recipient of the Readers’ Favorite Five Stars Award.
Read the review:
"The Black Tower by David R. Beshears is one of the most unique books I’ve ever read. Each episode tells a different story, but they all connect, keeping the reader’s interest high—you just don’t know what you are going to face in the next chapter. This is a real mixture of sci-fi and horror, packed with suspense and a wonderful cast of characters. Each person is developed well, real people that you can easily relate to, and you’ll soon understand each one’s role in the series. This is the kind of book that you might decide to read one episode a day, but once you start reading, you’ll struggle to put it down. The threads of each story weave together, wrapping you up like a spider with its prey and holding on tight until you reach the thrilling conclusion. If you love a story that holds your attention and offers something completely new with each chapter/episode, this is the book for you. I would love to know if this is it or if there’s a sequel in the offing. "
