Deliverance

Deliverance by James Dickey, 236 pages

Once upon a time, four city guys took two canoes out on a river in hillbilly country and three days and a few banjos later, they're no longer the innocent yuppies they once were. Really, who doesn't know the gist of this story? I've got to admit that I thought this would be scarier, or at least a little higher up the gross-out scale. Usually, horror stories that are based in real-world possibilities are the scariest ones for me; this one kind of disappointed me by being just...meh. A bit tense at times, but I had no trouble falling asleep.
