Coma Hell – Kevin Wimer

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. 

Jack Roberts awakens from what he was told would be nothing more than a routine sinus surgery. There is never anything routine with any surgery. Jack never gave that a thought and he should have. Jack might have changed his life and been a better man.

The panic beeping sound of alarms echoed with a flurry of activity around Jack’s hospital bed. The scream of a nurse calling for a doctor. The voice of a doctor yelling we are losing him and for everyone to stand back.

The bright flashing red hot light seared through Jack’s body as the world around him spun out of control. The voice of the doctor now tense with anger as his words echoed through Jack’s head. The only word that Jack could make out was coma.

Jack was now lost in the darkened world that would become his very own private hell.

Covers of books are the first thing we notice. They deserve their own analysis and review as they are what draws the reader in. The cover of this book eludes to the “coma” Jack experiences. The haunting nurse with a bandaged face, covered in blood, is a great representation of the type of experiences the main character will endure. I love that the title and author’s name are in red, set against the dark background of a hospital hallway. This makes them stand out, catching the reader’s eye.

When I began reading, it was very difficult to initially get into. This was due to the vast amount of spelling or grammar issues present throughout. These were distracting and continued to take my focus away from the story, however it was easier as the book continued. Once you get past those though, this is a great read! Do not let these errors sway you from picking this book up, we are all only human and our brains tend to auto-correct as we read. This book should be edited and republished as a second edition, this would fixe those issues that take away from the rating.

The events that Jack experiences are truly chilling. The author uses great visionary techniques, allowing me to not only read about what was happening to Jack but to feel and see exactly what he was experiencing. Although terrifying, this made the book that much better. The scenes are graphic and very detailed, becoming horrifyingly vivid in the mind of the reader. This is not a book for the weak stomached. For those such as me who enjoy horror books, especially detailed gory ones, this is a fantastic read!

The way the book was written, even I as a reader was unsure what was real. However, near the end, I had an inkling of what was occurring. Coma Hell is a wonderfully chilling tale that I found difficult to put down. If you are looking for a truly wonderful book that will leave both horrified and haunted, this is a prime candidate for your to-read list. The extremely detailed horror scenes remain in my mind even after finishing the book.
