The Dark Tower (The Dark Tower, Book 7) 684 reviews Stephen King
Donald M. Grant/Scribner, 2004
Superb!
+ THE DARK TOWER by Stephen King
I started reading the series 3 months ago, and have since not been able to put down any of the books. I read some of the reviews before every book (but not enough to spoil anything for me), and was starting to get nervous with some of the critisism I encountered. By the time I got to book 7, I ...

Song of Susannah (The Dark Tower, Book 6) 362 reviews Stephen King
Donald M. Grant/Scribner, 2004
Don't worry, it does get better once we pass this part of the quest...
I wanted to read the entire series before reviewing this and confirming that it is the worst volume in the series, and it is...perhaps this was deliberate on king's behalf to make the last one seem even better, who knows?
This book is essentially an 'add on' to Wolves of the Calla and the whole ...

I am not going to go into a rendition, I see this has already been done. This is the 5th book in the Dark Tower series and continues to follow Roland and his posse on their quest for the Dark Tower.

Lori 5 reviews Robert Bloch
Tor Books, 1990
Vintage Bloch, a Great Read for His Fans & Others
+ great. a real mystery of its own kind.
"Lori" is a vintage thriller/horror novel by the master of clear, matter-of-fact horror prose and unexpected black humor. It helps to be familiar with the works of what other writers in the genre have called the "clown prince" of horror, because the leavening of humor, sometimes subtle, sometimes ...

The Eyes of the Dragon 338 reviews Stephen King
Signet, 1987
My favorite King Book
+ A great fantasy tale, but .... + Eyes of the Dragon
Ok, so I am a huge Stephen King fan, and I do like most of his books, but there are a few I absolutely loathe. When I first read this book, I had no idea what to expect, and I ended up getting hooked to the story, and read it all the way through in one sitting, which is extremely unusual for me; ...

Bloch may be gone, but his tales remain.

Despite being famous for the film adaptation of a single novel, Robert Bloch's greatest contributions to genre literature were arguably in the short story format. Whether he was writing for the pulps or the slick professional magazines, Bloch could be counted on delivering a unique and addictive ...

Kidnapper 3 reviews Robert Bloch
Tor Books, 1988
Robert Bloch's darkest nightmare
+ Excellent + BETTER THAN PSYCHO
Of all the tales Robert Bloch told this is the one that reportedly disturbed him the most. It is the darkest, nastiest look into the human heart of darkness that a person seems capable of. The fact that Bloch gives the narrator such a breezy and funny voice (an RB trademark) only increases the ...

The Complete Stories of Robert Bloch, Volume 3: Last Rites (Complete Stories of Robert Bloch) 3 reviews Robert Bloch
Carol Publishing Corporation, 1991
Robert Bloch's writing is sharp, sleek, and suspenseful.
+ The late master's tales remain required reading.
Robert Bloch is a master storyteller. Every story that I've encountered by him has drawn me in. His writing is clever and suspenseful. If you haven't read his writing, you are missing a treat. If you've only read "Psycho," there's much more dimension to this writer than that masterpiece.
