Synopsis
An outstanding, spellbinding novel of murder, mystery and the occult, Falling Angel pits a tough New York private eye, Harry Angel against the most fearsome adversary a detective ever faced - one Louis Cyphre. For Angel a routine missing-persons case turns into a fiendish nightmare of voodoo and black magic, of dizzying peril and violent death - a world in which the shadow he chases seems to be the shadow he casts.

I read this book when it was first issued - late 70's, early 80's? And I was so hungry for more that I wrote the author and the publisher wanting to know who this man was. Needless to say I never got a response and have been checking periodically for more of his works.
I decided to give it one more try on Amazon and low and behold here it is!.
I still have my original copy and it's all brown pages and bent edges, but it is an ultimate classic for me.
For those who saw the movie, you have to read the book. Talk about horror! That subway scene still makes me shiver... I live in New York and I often wondered if there some condemned subway platform where rituals were held. Found myself staring out the subway windows as I rode the train trying to catch a peak.
This book is a flawless classic and is still standing the test of time. Even the great and scary Stephen King has only tapped danced around the power of this book and that happened only once --- with The Shining.
I always said the greatest horror is of the mind and Fallen Angel is one man's fateful niaive journey into his own with a whole lot of meaty sinister characters and the ultimate plot twist thrown in.
Nearly two decades later it still blows me away. And that is the ultimate test of a true horror!
How many times have I read this book --- at least ten and the rush is always as sweet as the first time.

so many books on the shelf woo you with smoke and mirrors. they offer a snappy quote with the promise of undeniable enthrallment. so you buy the book, read a few pages and realize you've been had. money and time wasted. well, kiddies, this is one book that guarantees like a stripper winking and motioning behind the curtain. from the onset, hjortsberg has you. he carved a story out of the occult practices and wove them together. if he where a women i'd marry'em. no other book i've read influenced me like this one. it is the proverbial hitchcock meets the exorcist scenerio. mister hjortsberg, you are a god--the best book i've ever read and the only one i've given friends to read.

First off this was not a horror story. Or if it was suppose to be, it failed. To me it was a PI mystery with a twist. Lesen Sie weiter...

So good, I read it in a day
If you saw the movie Angel Heart, read the book anyway. Hjortsberg wrote the screen play for Angel Heart, but both the book and the movie can stand alone. Lesen Sie weiter...

Bayou Blockbuster!
Hjortsberg really crafted a vicious thriller. Combining the atmosphere of New Orleans, private dick sensibilities and the occult, nothing can prepare you for the twists and turns... Lesen Sie weiter...

Fallen Angel: a crescendo of horror, violence and detection
Its no wonder Alan Parker decided to turn this in to a film. From a sleepy, jazzy start in 50's America the book gently and twists and turns into a crescendo of horror, violence... Lesen Sie weiter...

A classic
It's almost impossible to discuss Falling Angel without giving away plot points, so let's just say that this is one of the strangest, craftiest horror novels ever written. Lesen Sie weiter...
