Reviews for Ellen Ginsberg

The first thing that caught my attention about Danny in the Dark was the author's name, Ellen Ginsberg, a sly reference to the gay beat poet Allen Ginsberg, I'm guessing, most known for his lurid poem Howl. And cleverly enough, that word fits so well with this book, with the nightmares and with the dreams it holds. From page one, I was plunged into a paranormal story about two men who love each other but are held apart by dark secrets and a menacing past. The characters immediately come to life, and there are too many nail-biting moments to count. There were times when I honestly didn't know how the characters were going make it through everything, and on top of that, how they were going to stay together if they DID make it through. I couldn't put it down, and even after I'd finished, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Just thinking about it in my head now, it's hard to believe that this is Ellen Ginsberg's first book. She is a truly gifted and phenomenal writer. To be honest, it makes me pea-green with envy! But if there are more stories like this one coming from her, I'll put my jealous nature aside and scarf those stories right up. Long story short, buy this book. You'll be riveted.
