Zebra Books - 1988 - 286 Pages Once again I have been unable to find a picture of the cover for this one, which is really a shame, because it's a bit of a cracker! The story here is of two children, Todd and Caryn. Each are blind, and each are about to benefit from a cornea transplant, restoring their sight. However, for every transplant that takes place, someone has to be a donor. And most donors have to die. Asking the question, "Is it right for wish for a donor when you know someone has to die first", See No Evil also introduces us to Anna Lee. Anna Lee isn't a normal donor, she'll feel pain and donate - for a price! And the price is "a death for a death", sending this book off into a few violent episodes that ought to warm the heart of horror readers everywhere. There is a (very brief) review on amazon.co.uk that claims this book is much more than a horror novel, it's also a medical drama. I have to disagree with that, it's plainly a horror tale centered around transplantation. There are plenty of moaning doctors, mean nurses, and grumpy old patients along for the ride too. The writer is decent, even if it all feels a little rushed. This is supported by the odd number of chapters - 59 plus an epilogue. One chapter is all of four lines long. It almost reads like a screenplay, if I'm honest. Still, it rolls along at a decent pace, even if it's short on explanation and resolution. Not bad. The cover rocks though. |
