A different kind of zombie
+ If you love gore and zombies read this book!!!
I just finished reading the book in the wee hours of the morning. I couldn't put the book down and stayed up all night clawing my way through the last 80% of the book. I couldn't let my brethens in the void down and was inhibited into finishing the book. It's an interesting take on the zombie ...

Dan Simmons
Grand Central Publishing, 1990
Great Book, Annoying Kindle Edition
+ Fantastic book, although long at times
+ A very Challenging Read
This is a terrific work of sci-fi horror, but the kindle edition is riddled with annoying typos. Certain words, such as, for example, helicopter, are spaced out inappropriately -- he li cop ter -- throughout the book. It seems that there is an error of this nature on virtually every page. I ...

Monster Island: A Zombie Novel104 reviews
David Wellington
Thunder's Mouth Press, 2006
Another horror home run for Wellington
This is my second book by Mr. Wellington and I am very impressed. The first book I read was of the vampire genre, 13 Bullets and that was great. Monster Island is Mr. Wellington's take on the Zombie genre. The story covers the efforts of a UN weapons inspector who travels from Somalia to Manhattan ...

A Tough Read...Even by Laymon Standards
I'm a fan of Richard Laymon, I've enjoyed several of his novels, and am even familiar with "The Beast House" as I previously read the second novel in this trilogy prior to picking this one up.
With that said, "The Cellar" was an unexpectedly tough tale to read. I'm used to Laymon's graphic ...

Wildest Dreams (Subterranean Press Short Novel)2 reviews
Norman Partridge
Subterranean Press, 1998
Truly Brilliant. An Excellent But Short Novel.
+ Another Trip Through Partridge's Sick Mind
Norm is a genius. But we all knew that already, didn't we? This story is very hip and cool. It came out before 6th Sense so those thinking it is a rip off are way off base. The reason I waited to buy it was the cover price. It was high. My only wish now is that that some genius would re-issue this ...

The Haunting of Hill House347 reviews

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1984
Those Who Walk at Hill House
+ Elegant, creepy story
+ No one will hear you scream, in the dark, in the night...
With so many books that embrace vampires and werewolves as love interests, it is harder and harder to find genuine scary material to read. As I write this review, "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson is 51 years old. It's a hot July and I needed some fiction with the chill factor. Maybe ...

demented
+ Very Freaky
+ Gore-fest goodness
I for one am not a fan of the circus, clowns and such. Just something about them that is.. just wierd. This book focues on that. The story jumps around from character to character so I dont think everyone will enjoy that. But what happens to the characters is fun, demented and brutal. And the best ...
