Eventyr

Dette er faktisk en novellesamling med fire historier. Flere gennemgående træk ses dog i alle noveller såsom en stor tung nøgle med initialerne HM, en stor sort ubehagelig hund med grønne øjne og ikke mindst en fortællestil, der får det til at løbe koldt ned ad ryggen på dig, mens og efter du har læst dem. Det hele foregår i en lille fredelig landsby ude på landet. Området har dog en dyster fortid, der bl. a. byder på en stor bygning ensomt beliggende på en bakke lige ved siden af en meget stor kirkegård, som selv ligger i nærheden af resterne af en ruin med en brønd, der efter sigende har været rammen om et drama for mange år siden. Det er dog ikke nødvendigt at være i nærheden af nogen af de steder, for at det kan gå helt galt. Forbandelserne lurer nemlig også i nye skikkelser, som er lige så dødbringende som de mere klassiske. "Grønne øjne" er en gyser for de garvede børn og unge. Kosten er til tider så hård, at det ikke kan anbefales til de sarte, der vil have deres nattesøvn i ro (fred være med jer). Langt de fleste anmeldere er af den opfattelse, at det er skrevet på en meget attraktiv måde og har en stil, som Dennis altid har været kendt for. Som hans første gyserbog går den dog lige til benet, når det drejer sig om at give dig kuldegysninger. Det makabre dukker til tider op som en trold i en æske og øger uhyggen til det direkte ubehagelige læsning. Det hele bliver dog holdt sammen af 4 historier, der aldrig mister overtaget mod det væmmelige, men holder det i kort snor, så læseren er nødt til at få det med. De fire historier er desuden vævet sammen af krydsreferencer (henvisninger til hinanden), så du for hver historie bliver klogere på de andre.
