"A Rising
King"
5-Star Barnes & Noble Reader Review
Excerpt:
"I stepped into a preternatural world when I read King of Summer and could not put down the book. Wayne Wise combines suspense, horror, love, and unity to create a supernatural tale parallel to the works of Stephen King and Dean Koontz."

"Long live the king!!"
5-Star Amazon.com Reader Review
Excerpt:
"If you're a fan of Harper Lee, Stephen King and Sir Thomas Malory (or
T.H. White), then you'll love "King of

Review
by Mark Best
at The Copacetic Comics Company web site
Excerpt:
"...Wise has located his adolescent characters squarely in an American literary tradition shared by authors ranging from Mark Twain to Stephen King: their youth gives them a special and privileged insight into the world around them. For the record, in addition to exploring how evil works in his world, Wise also provides plenty of opportunities for the more traditional pleasures of horror fiction. 'King of Summer' has its adequate share of both creeping suspense and gore..."

"Definitely
the King"
5-Star Amazon.com Reader Review
Excerpt:
"King of Summer has an atmosphere reminiscent of 'To Kill A
Mockingbird.' [...] Wayne Wise accurately shows the strengths and weaknesses of youth amid a dark fantasy bearing Arthurian themes and an original twist on the ancient battle of good vs.
evil. [...]
In short, brilliant."
