Download As PDF : Reign eBook Chet Williamson 
The story centers around a renovated theater in Pennsylvania and is arranged in three acts, plus overture and curtain call. The tension in Act I heightens as the reader must decide if this is a murder mystery, psychodrama, horror or fantasy, with the author offering clues to support each possibility. Theaters have a history of ghosts and accidents, but as the number of deaths at the Venetian mounts, the police become less inclined to accept verdicts of "accident." Owner/actor Dennis Hamilton has nothing obvious to gain from the killings, nor could he have caused them, but his strange behavior makes others wonder if he might not have a double or another personality--or something else entirely--that does want the deaths. Mystery, suspense, drama and horror combine to make this one of Williamson's finest works.
Reign eBook Chet Williamson
Another gripping masterpiece of horror by Chet Williamson, a writer whose books keep me up all night (reading, not because I'm scared. Okay maybe I'm scared a little). This one takes place in a setting Williamson, a noted actor as well, is very familiar with: the theater. This familiarity makes for a strong novel, with one of the best villains ever. Highly recommended.Product details

Reign eBook Chet Williamson Reviews
I have read all of Chet Williamson's books over the years and I must say that this is one of my favorites.
The theater background of Reign obviously must come from the authors years of experience in the theater. A wonderful book that I am happy to own.
Just writing about it makes me want to read it again.
Loved this book. Williamson reminds me of the authors from the Golden Age of Mystery writing. The story, set in the world of the theatre, reminded me of Ngaio Marsh's books, but Williamson definitely makes it his own by adding the horror aspects. Nice twist on a story that could have become cliched, but is deftly pulled to greater heights. It is the story of Dennis Hamilton, a respected actor who has built a career playing one role -- the Emperor. Hamilton has retired from the long-running production, then decides to buy his own theater in a smaller town and bring the Emperor back to life for one final performance. I was fascinated by the mechanics of the behind-the-scenes tale of how to create a theater, put on a production and bring a cast and crew together. The horror story was extremely scary and one of those leave-the-lights-on reads that send shivers down our spines but we can not put down. Definitely a book worth buying.
A story with a haunted theater as the premise! How could a horror lover go wrong?
I received this book as part of a Humble Bundle that I won from Brian Hodge. (Thanks, Brian!) A fellow horror reader in one of my horror groups chose it for a group read and I was excited about it, because the premise sounded so great. I was not disappointed.
There are some cliched themes here, but I loved the way Mr. Williamson made them his own. Not only were there the expected spirits, but there was an entirely new entity and a dangerous one he proved to be. A new type of doppelganger, once realized, nearly unstoppable. And no one was safe. Of course the denouement, would have to take place at the theater-what will happen during the performance? Will the main character win the role-the role of his life, so to speak? You will have to read this to find out.
This book was well written and the story well told. I think it could have been trimmed a bit as sometimes the main character's inner monologue was redundant. Even though a couple of the characters were cliches, I thought most of them came through as real people, capable of all the feelings and changes that go along with that.
This book definitely made me a fan of Chet Williamson and I'm looking forward to seeing if he has more work for me to discover. For now, I will say goodbye to the Venetian Theatre and all of its scary, wonderful history.
Highly recommended for fans of haunting stories!
One of the best storytellers in the business. He's still got it.
