Deliver Us from Evil 1 review Allen Lee Harris
Bantam, 1988
Favorite horror novel ever
In the interest of full disclosure I must admit that I know and greatly admire the author. However, that does not mean I can not be objective. Mr. Harris wrote a novel that scared me like no other, and yet the structure and symbolism were more like that often seen in great and classical works ...

Stormy Weather 80 reviews Carl Hiaasen
Grand Central Publishing, 2001
Skink for President!
+ Wacky and Captive + Tops among over the top Hiassen satires
[...]
When I first read this book, it was back when it had the flamingo on the cover, so it has been awhile. But my opinion about the book has not changed.
Having gone through Hurricane Andrew in Homestead, this book touched more than a nerve. Only those that have dealt with tragedy like ...

Phantoms 203 reviews Dean Koontz
Berkley, 2002
Formulaic romp
+ Science Fiction? or Real Possibility?
Just reread this book and found it holds up well after 25 years. Twenty-five years! Holy cow! It is a familiar formula that we have often seen in books and movies. A small intrepid and isolated band of humans, some not so intrepid, have to survive against an unknown and seemingly all powerful ...

Insomnia 404 reviews Stephen King
Signet, 1995
LET THE GOOSE BUMPS RISE, AND ENJOY EVERY LINE
+ Tough to pigeon-hole
A method actor who received much of his training at the famed Actor's Studio, Eli Wallach has been delivering stellar performances on both stage and screen for the past 50 years. He gives us one more outstanding performance as he narrates Stephen King's lauded Insomnia.
While Wallach's name ...
