Horror movie king Wes Craven (Elm Street) shows the vastness of his talents as he writes his first novel. FOUNTAIN SOCIETY is an intriguing medical horror thriller that raises questions of morality and ethics. Is it okay to kill an innocent person to save an Einstein or a brilliant but dying cancer researcher who might save millions of lives if he/she lived? Though there are a few minor leaps of faith involving secondary plots, the prime story line is intelligent, thought-provoking, and absolutely frightening. Welcome to the wonderful world of novels Mr. Craven.
