Your Heart Belongs to Me Dean Koontz Bantam, 2008             Faces of Fear: A Novel John Saul Ballantine Books, 2008 New York Times bestselling author John Saul is a master at writing novels that chill the bones, curdle the blood, and tap into our darkest fears. He creates characters so real that you’ll feel as if they’re friends or family, and throws them into situations so terrifying that you won’t be able to look away until you turn the final page. Now, in Faces of Fear, Saul proves that ...             Ghostwalk51 reviews Rebecca Stott Spiegel & Grau, 2007 An A for effort but that's all Rebecca Stott's Ghostwalk started out promising--atmospheric, mysterious, romantic--but less than halfway through, it stalls and flaws rise to the surface like a bloated corpse. Maybe that's too harsh; the book isn't *that* bad, but Stott fails to deliver on her ambitious promise and I found that ...             I Am Legend501 reviews Richard Matheson Tor Books, 2007 A story of it's own + Outstanding Classic + amazing short horror stories [no spoilers] I had seen the recent movie adaption to this book and I must say, I love both just the way they are. The book made the movie a lot clearer in ways for me, actually trying to put science behind exactly what the monsters were. This book is extremely well written for the time it came from, and the ...             The Good Guy163 reviews Dean Koontz Bantam, 2007 An old plot, but well written none the less As anyone who knows me, or even reads my reviews can attest, I'm not a huge fan of the Horror genre, even though it does share a lot in common with one of my previous favourite literature genres - the post apocalyptic setting. Thus, because of this, I have only read one book by Dean Koontz until ...             Duma Key: A Novel380 reviews Stephen King Scribner, 2008 A Compelling Read + Back on top of his game! + Duma Key Steven King is a great writer at the top of his form. I was totally drawn into the life of Edgar, a wealthy contractor who looses his right arm in a terrible construction accident. Edgar's healing and leaving the cold of the midwest for sunny Florida kept me turning the pages. The only thing I ...             The Wheel of Darkness (Special Agent Pendergast)153 reviews Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child Grand Central Publishing, 2007 Not Classic Pendergast, But Still Good + Another Great Summer Read From The Best! Special Agent Pendergast is my favorite character throughout all the Preston and Child books I've read. It seems they took a different direction with his personality in this one. If you've read the others, you should realize that he doesn't quite seem like himself in this book. I missed him ...             Sharp Objects: A Novel120 reviews Gillian Flynn Three Rivers Press, 2007 A fun ride! + Disturbing, but in a good way + Well written, but can guess killer easily Creepy, dark, psycho characters in a small town. Loved it! Couldn't put it down. About a woman who returns to her hometown to investigate a child's murder. The ending does not dissapoint.             Matter42 reviews Iain M. Banks Orbit, 2008 Awesome Space Opera + One of Bank's better + Six hundred pages of pleasure and stimulation + Great!!!             The Devil's Labyrinth: A Novel28 reviews John Saul Ballantine Books, 2007 The Devil's Labyrinth + i loved it!!!!!!!!! I am a very big fan of John Saul's work. I think that he takes evil in it's purest form and has no problem making it tangible. Many authors would rather have a psychological edge, never letting the reader "see the monster". In this book, John Saul again creates an evil that is completely ...             Mister B. Gone68 reviews Clive Barker HarperCollins, 2007 Idiot reviewers + Do not Start Your Barker Experience with this Book, but Still an Enjoyable, Satirical Read. + Great read - quick, funny, fun. I've read many of Barker's novels, and this has been a fun ride. Aside from The Thief of Always or his short fiction, it has been his easiest and most fun story to read. Several reviews have complained about different typographical errors in the book. If any of them would actually use their ...             Heart-Shaped Box: A Novel268 reviews Joe Hill William Morrow, 2007 Excellent read + Nice and creepy + Heart-Shaped Horror! + Joe Hill's "Heart Shaped Box"             Fangland15 reviews John Marks Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008 A Different Kind of Horror Novel + Bad title, Good book Looking for something a little "different," I picked up a copy of Fangland by John Marks. Evangeline Harker is an associate producer for the long running, New York-based, television show The Hour (think 60 Minutes). She isn't happy that her current assignment is to go to Romania, and do ...             Already Dead: A Novel53 reviews Charlie Huston Del Rey, 2005 Vampire tales for a nihilistic world + Good book, but I need a break + Something to sink you teeth into.... + vampyres, zombies, and wraiths oh my...             Bloodline: A Repairman Jack Novel (Repairman Jack)33 reviews F. Paul Wilson Forge Books, 2007 bloodline + Repairman Jack - still righteous and still kicking the stuffing out of the scums of the earth I love all his "Repairman Jack" books. This is his 10th and I could not wait until it became available in paperback.             Ghost: A Novel14 reviews Alan Lightman Pantheon, 2007 Aptly Named "Ghost" + Lyrical prose, beautifully written human story Review of: Ghost By: Alan P Lightman Published: 2007 The story is aptly named "Ghost" because it gives the reader a lot to think about while showing only a glimpse of its mystery. Like all good ghosts this apparition gives us just a peek. The "Ghost" gives David (the protagonist and ...             Spook Country141 reviews William Gibson Putnam Adult, 2007 not as good as pattern recognition but interesting nonetheless + Gibson, still Gibson as a gibson fan since neuromancer, i found pattern recognition a worthwhile departure into the present/near future world of google and post911. spook country explores a similar setting but with less insight. i found the exploration of some of gibson's older themes in this new light ...             The Judas Strain: A Novel91 reviews James Rollins William Morrow, 2007 Intense Action + Glad I found you, James Rollins! + A very satisfying read! James Rollins had me hanging on every word with the Judas Strain. There were three very different, very exciting stories that tied into one by the end of the book. All the characters were likable and smart. It's filled with movie blockbuster action and pacing but none of it distracts you from the ...             Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, US & Canada Ed.7 reviews Robert Mack Oxford University Press, USA, 2007 Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Margery Lovett Walk Right Out of a Silly Romance + NOT the Sondheim Version! But still a delight! "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," a book by Robert L. Mack, who's evidently an expert on the subject of Sweeney Todd, as he's also author of "The Wonderful and Surprising History of Sweeney Todd: The Life and Times of an Urban Legend," comes to us as a rather odd tie-in with the ...             Thirteen61 reviews Richard K. Morgan Del Rey, 2007 Just as good as his other books Okay, this is a much bleaker book than his other novels, but so what? It's well written, has a great set of characters, and most importantly of all, it makes you want to keep on turning the pages. This is a science fiction novel that will stand the test of time and in 50 years' time will be ...
