Wilson, F. Paul -- The Keep
Successfully avoided buying The Tomb a third time. This is the origin
of the series that Repairman Jack was later retrofitted into. (Or maybe
it was retrofitted into him, seeing as there are about a dozen Jack
novels now, and the non-Jack ones are all out of print pending a
rewrite.) Nazis attempt to set up camp at a Romanian castle which turns
out to have monsters. More monsters. This is unrefined Wilson (not like
Wilson gets very refined): lots of blood, lots of Nazis bastards,
cartoonish characterization, and the sole female character is introduced
by her breasts. Nonetheless, it reads fast, and it's good background for
the Jack universe. Except for the parts that need a rewrite.
