Jesus Saves (1997) by Darcey Steinke. A suburban horror story in the guise of a novel, this book will make some readers' skin crawl. The detail and length of an abducted girl's suffering are squirm-inducing. On the other hand, the narrative seems to go off into fantasy tangents that don't really further the story. I found it frustrating because I felt there was a good book hiding here, but it just wasn't accessible. Grade: B-
