A spellbinding novel of murder, mystery, and the occult, Falling Angel pits a tough New York private eye against the most fearsome adversary a detective ever faced. For Harry Angel, a routine missing-persons case soon turns into a fiendish nightmare of voodoo and black magic, of dizzying peril and violent death. Many people feel that Falling Angel is the greatest American supernatural horror novel of the 20th century.

That last line is kind of a bold statement to ment. Which people are these "many people?"

With that said, the plot sounds pretty awesome, and I love the cover of the book.

I agree this is a worthwhile novel. The movie adaptation, Angel Heart---one of the finest Horror films I have ever seen--- almost did it justice.
It is not, in my opinion, the best American 20th Century Horror novel. The Stand, for one, is more to my taste, while my wife leans toward Black Wind.
Hard to say what I think is the best; after all, my opinion will likely change as often as the weather.
