Our reviews of books we’ve been reading.
I’ve waited to get my hands on this novel for some time and it was certainly worth the wait. Keeping in mind that this book was written and set in 1967, this novel is tame in some respects compared to the gore and horror many authors and movies unleash on today’s readers. But they are…
A few days ago, I managed to finally locate a copy of this book at my local used book store and immediately snatched it up. Having seen both the original 1975 movie starring Katharine Ross, as well as the more recent Nicole Kidman version, I was eager to read the actual book that made the…
With the coming of Halloween, I’ve been in a mood for scary books. So today I decided to pull out one of my favorites and do a review on it. This was the first novel I read by Mr. Straub, but it got me hooked. I’ve read a number of his other works and he…
“From A Buick 8” was one of the first books I read by Mr. King after many years of taking a pass on his work. His novel “Misery” had gone to places I found too intense and terrifying because the only monster in that piece had been human. There were no safety-barriers of the supernatural…
For those who don’t know, Richard Matheson is one of my many favorite authors. His work on the original Twilight Zone, caught both my attention and imagination. To this day, I consider his novel “Hell House” one of the greatest haunted house stories ever written. But he also wrote about vampires in his classic “I…
Wanted to share this with all of you. If you enjoy vampires, Juliette Kings is someone you want to take a look at. Her take on the culture, from a modern day vampire Mom’s point of view is funny, very relevant, and she is also a wonderful artist, as well as poet. This is well…
NEW BOOK REVIEW… Today I present you all with Daphne Du Maurier’s classic “REBECCA”. A 5-STAR read in my opinion. This is one of the best modern-day gothic novels that I’ve ever read and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good gothic mystery. Read on my friends… “Last night I dreamt I…
Book review time again. Today I wanted to share with you my review on what I consider one of THE best collections of vampire stories ever compiled. It covers some of the earliest vampire tales known and finishes with more modern ones from the 1980’s. With the many takes on vampires we see these…
Sometimes its good to check out the classics from way back when. HP Lovecraft was an author who lived in the early 1900’s and is considered by many to be one of the greatest horror writers in history. His creations ranged from magical (such as warlocks, and demonic beings) to creatures from outer space who…
MY RATING: 5 STARS OUT OF 5 I was very excited to finally get my hands on a copy of this book after seeing the 1960 movie “Village of the Damned” that was made based upon it. My wait was not in vain. While the movie followed the storyline and even small details very faithfully,…
