Only Things Brad Carter Books
As I've come to expect from Brad Carter's work, this story is filled to overflowing with imagination, excellent intersecting plot lines, three-dimensional characters, and plenty of surprises. There's also a generous share of horror and other-worldly weirdness, and a full measure of heart at the center of it all. The setting is once again Barlow, Arkansas, so there are a few familiar characters and a bunch of new ones. The central story concerns Myrna Wilson, mother of Sheriff Tate Wilson, and the obsession she has been nurturing since the death of her younger son, Dale. She has taken to visiting flea markets and second hand shops to purchase the belongings of recently deceased people, in which she can sense the attachment the previous owners had to the objects. She's become somewhat of a hoarder, in fact, which does not please her surviving son. Things get complicated when she meets George Young, a newcomer to Barlow who's dealing with the loss of his wife (also a hoarder type) and the disposition of her many possessions. When the lives of these two become entwined with that of Constable Ray McFettridge, whose family history of psychic experiences is showing its face after many years of being subdued by alcohol, a catastrophic series of events is begun which threatens to consume the town.It's always a pleasure for me to read a Carter novel. His talent for telling strange and disturbing tales is nicely complemented by his amazing ability to pour so much goodness and heart into them as well.

Only Things Brad Carter Books Reviews
A hard to put down book that features a cast of characters both living and dead that are hard to forget with a most interesting take on the ghosts and other entities that attach themselves to things. All the things we love in life can take hold of our souls and our spirits can stay with those things even after we are dead. Myrna Wilson can feel the love these items hold and she likes to add them to her special collections which have taken over her house but something dark has joined the spirits that call Myrna their guardian and her cluttered house their home and it wants more of everything and its getting stronger. Chris Clanton is a neat freak obsessed with the destruction of clutter and filth and that includes the people who cause it and live in it. Now the sleepy little town of Barlow Arkansas has become ground zero for a battle between these ancient forces of order and chaos.
I received this book for free through the LibraryThing.com Early Reviewers Program.
I absolutely loved this book. I am a big horror genre fan, and this book provided me with all the gore and supernatural elements to keep me excited to get to the next page/chapter.
I really enjoyed the author's twist on the theme of hoarding, and the emphasis on how life experiences can shape the attitudes and attachments that one can have toward material items. Also, it describes the possibility that goods may still possess the essence of their previous owner's personality and also the amount of sentimental value that was given to the belongings.
I would recommend this book to all readers that enjoy the horror/supernatural genre. I stayed up late many nights in order to finish this great book.
The book starts slowly, as the author takes his time developing characters and setting, but when the 'action' starts I really cared about the people and their fate in this. Indeed, I was reminded of a Stephen King novel, where at least half of the book is spent on familiarization with characters and setting before something significant happens. It is no mean feat to write a book this way without making it boring, and this author definitely has the skill for it.
The story itself was about possession, both of the demonic and human kind. The opposing forces of chaos and order manifested themselves in compulsive hoarding vs. a compulsive sense of order. Both syndromes are sad enough in their own way, but carried to extremes by demonic forces these obsessions are outright scary. The explanation for the origin of the demon and the description of the ghostly space 'behind the veil' was coherent and fortunately lacking any long-winded esoteric mumbo-jumbo.
Whether a material thing is considered junk or treasure, everyone must see for oneself - this book definitely is a treasure worth salvaging. Highly recommended.

In 'Only Things', Brad Carter presents us with an intriguing cast of characters whose lives curiously intertwine. Myrna Wilson, long time resident of Barlow, Arkansas, is grieving over the loss of her younger son and finds herself (to her older son's distain) drawn to acquiring 'things'. George Wilson, once a successful author, moves to Barlow to escape demons from his past and guilt over the death of his wife - another hoarder obsessed with acquiring objects from the recently departed. Throw into the mix Constable Ray McFettridge, a man trying to escape from his past and dubious heritage and slightly unhinged library worker, Chris Clanton, a man with a passion for neatness and order, and you have a suspenseful tale worth telling.
'Only Things' is a ghost story and Carter takes his time, building his characters, so that when the real action takes place, we, the readers, are fully vested in their fates.
I really enjoyed this story; however, I was a little disappointed with the demon angle - it just threw me off a bit. However, if you enjoy ghost stories full of wonderful and quirky characters, you can't go wrong with 'Only Things'.
I received a free copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for my fair and honest review.
