Zombi-fied!!
I really liked this book. There were a couple of stories I didn't care for, but it really scratched that itch I have for the zombie genre. There needs to be more of these!

Wow, Keene is steamy!
If you like horror and suspense and reading how books are written then this will be a double treat. The main hero, Adam Senft is a decently successful writer who decided to give up his other job to write that great story that would be his ticked to solidified fame. With his wife Tara he settles into a quiet lifestyle in a home in Pennsylvania. His wife carrying the burden of commuting to work ...

Way Too Much Fun Crammed Into One Book
I've said it before about Brian Keene. I enjoy his fiction, but where he really shines is in his non-fiction -- his attitude and dry sense of humor are incredibly addictive in this second of three volumes reprinting his online blogs/journals. He opens himself up in these pages way more than most authors ever do, and because of that, you feel closer to him and empathize with his ongoing trials ...

Is Brett Mcbean worth 5 stars you might ask?
YES, this is a wonderful suspenseful horror novel, NOT TO BE MISSED. I love a book about 'psychos' it is truly creepy. So, this book was right up my alley. I love being scared by more of a 'true to life' experience. Well, we have all read about real life weirdo's so this was perfect. The novel takes you from character to character. Each chapter is something new. AND, once and awhile at the end of ...

Coolnes
I found this novel engrossing. If it wasn't for the fact that I had to take the dog for a walk, I probably would have spent all night reading it. It is just such a cool story. It's also a local story; the book is set largely in York County, Pennsylvania--small portions take place in Columbia (where I live) and Marietta (which is also nearby). It is a partial sequel to Keene's previous novel,Dark ...

As Always, A Delight To Read
This third installment of Brian Keene's internet blog is chock full of goodies. He covers everything from crazy fanatics to honest advise for aspiring writers. Filled with black humor, Brian loves to rant about everything under the sun. In The New Fear, he'll give you his opinion on politics, publishers, and his crazy roadtrips, whether you like it or not. His non-fiction is always my ...

On top of that, it's one of those books that is so well-designed, your just happy to read it. Love the design. Highlights include Brian Keen, Mort Castle, Elizabeth Massie, John Everson, Cody Goodfellow and Gary ...

The Future of Original/Fresh/ Horror
This is the best HORROR short story collection I have read since 1986 when King's "Skeleton Crew" came out. There are NO RETREADS here. Mr. Keene is bold/brave and jump starts the horror genre into the new millenium. But it's not JUST horror. It's literature and fiction and I think people who HATE horror will still appreciate Keene's stories. All of the stories are good with the standouts, in my ...

Couldn't Put It Down
While this collection of opinions/blog columns might not be for everyone, those in the horror fiction community will find it highly addictive. It has it everything -- the struggle and sacrifices of writing professionally, heartfelt tributes, horror convention adventures, and a plethora of fascinating characters. I can't wait for volume two. Although I enjoyed reading Brian Keene's zombie ...

Believe the Hype!
You know what makes this collection so good? It's the way the author takes the same old tired storylines and firmly kicks them on their rear. Very clever twists! I read it in one night. Believe the hype!

Leisure Books, 2006

A differnt take on the end of us...
I have been a fan of Keene's work for a while and really liked his zombie books. As an avid fan of end of the world style fiction I was still a bit put off by the cover and promise of killer worms. Nevertheless, I was stuck in a small town during the holidays with little reading options, and the local bookstore had this. Long story short, I decided to pick it up. Once I got started I really ...

Excitable Boys

Topeka Bindery, 2002

Uneven
It is often difficult to find books like "Excitable Boys." This anthology of gross out horror stories, edited by well known horror author Richard Laymon's daughter Kelly, contains some of the sickest tales of over the top mayhem yet captured on paper. Most horror authors tend to shy away from the nauseating content you find in these stories for the simple fact that mainstream readers won't buy ...

Lots of fun
So when you read a good terror book you can say a)I liked the imagination of the author, b)I liked the characters, c)I liked the description of the grotesque scenes... z)I enjoyed the book immensely. I'll put this book in that category, just get your popcorn and your soda and read the book.

Excellent Zombie Fun!!!
Blood and Rain Blood for the Masses Dead Sea By Brian Keene Reviewed By B.L.Morgan 5 Stars Brian Keene is rapidly becoming one of my favorite horror authors. He writes fast moving horrific gross-outs that actually make you care a bit about the characters too. That's not easy to do. This one starts a little bit after a zombie outbreak and has a gay man hiding in his apartment ...

The Rising

Leisure Books, 2004

A Macabre Gem of Zombified, Gore-Filled Madness.
This book deserves all praise granted to it. Brian Keene writes like a true madman. He writes clean, structured sentences and manages to make a 321 page book seem like an epic six-hundred-pager. He accomplishes this by being able to introduce a lot of characters throughout the novel, and making the ones that don't stick around seem as real as the main characters that do. All of ...

Another great story from Keene
Kill Whitey is the latest release from Brian Keene, and it's a little different than his usual stories. I really really liked this and would highly recommend it to both regular Keene fans and new readers.

Spyship

Dell Publishing, 1983

Entirely convincing Cold-War intrigue
Spyship could have been from Le Carré, Ludlum, or Forsythe: a well-written, well-documented, fast-paced novel. Its plot, about the investigation of a reporter into the mysterious sinking of a British fishing ship in the North Sea, takes the reader into a nightmarish world of political cover-ups of international consequences in the last decade of the Cold War. Pick up Spyship (if you can find ...
