Und ich bei den letzten 20% so:Kinder sind Monster. Q.E.D.
Bernard Taylor is a wonderful author. His delicate and articulate style creates a setting that deceitfully snares an unsuspecting reader and lulls him into a false sense of security. Rosemary Paul is a fading star, with an adoring public, long forgotten. She lives out her remaining years as a reclus...
The smell of roses was so strong. For 95% of the book, this was an enjoyable, suspenseful story about David who returns to England from New York to find out what happened to his twin brother. I didn't like David, and some of the suspenseful descriptions were overdone a bit, but most of the book w...

Alan and Kate live the idyllic life, in t...
There is an eerie detachment in reading this book that makes it all the more horrific in both its story and its content. Bernard Taylor has the ability to lull the reader into a false sense of security and in Mother’s Boys we are supposedly examining the consequences of family breakdown. For those h...
I have a confession to make, I was never aware of Bernard Taylor, horror author, until recently that was until I was introduced to his 1977 ghost story, Sweetheart Sweetheart which I understand was chosen by Charles L Grant as one of the 100 best horror novels. The 1970’s saw the emergence and growt...
This book is like the movie ""The Skeleton Key."" The ending was so emotional I actually got choked up a bit.
