Steven Mark Sachs' Special Delivery kept me on the edge of my seat. I could not lay it down. Sach combines, medical fact, medieval facts and myths and occult to create one of the best books of the season. I believe this is being made into a movie. Fans of occult and horror will not want to miss this book.
