It pulled me in right from the first word. It was everything I had hoped for and more. It had me thinking of Lord of the Flies, but adults... mixed with a little Texas Chainsaw massacre minus the chainsaw. It was scary. It was graphic and it was cool! I have not read anything like it, and doubt I w...
I tend to veer towards books full of suspense and murder, and this book fulfilled just that. At times the author would get so descriptive and vile with the murders that it would almost make you want to put the book down, but like a train wreck, you just can't look away. I rated this book a 4 because...
I listened to this book on audio, and while I didn't find it scary, it was definitely bloody and gory in a slasher film kind of way. Sara and Martin are guardians to six difficult, troubled, teenagers. They take them camping on an island that is supposedly deserted. But, surprise, the island is h...
Let me get this out of the way first - I liked WEBCAM, even if I did find myself ultimately disappointed. It's a far from perfect read for me, but I don't feel like my time was completely wasted. Hence, the three-star rating. To explain why I was disappointed will take some doing, so here goes. Ja...
Having enjoyed J. A. Konrath's first two forays into straight out horror, Afraid and Trapped, I was looking forward to this third title he released under the name, Jack Kilborn. The afterword reveals that his editors wanted significant cuts, but he refused to give up on it, and his desire to see it ...
This is a collection of horror shorts written by author Jack Kilbourn (aka JA Konrath). Some were included in various anthologies, horror magazines, and the like, some were submissions that were never published until this collection. I arrived at my star rating by assigning each story it's own sta...
Though commencing as a fairly straight forward riff on the cliched theme of "pack of people in a remote location being picked off one by one by some form of unseen assailant", Kilborn quickly ratchets up the crazy (and inventiveness) in introducing threat after threat that the beleaguered band of pr...
This book had a completely different ending than I thought it would. I love a good ghost story, even though there *may* be something else going on here. It seemed to me that they mixed in a little bit of Silence of the Lambs (the character of Torble reminded me of Hannibal), House on Haunted Hill (b...
If this is a movie, I’d have enjoyed it more. All the gore and blood on screen! Besides those, there really only very few things that I liked…or at least, okay with, in this story. First and foremost, Tyrone. Damn! I have a crush on him. If he’s real, I’d want to hang out with him. “Too many people...
3 - 3 1/2 starsI have been a huge fan of both Killborn/Konrath's work for several years, and a dedicated fan of horror since childhood (yes, I was a twisted little kid). It truly takes a lot for me to say a story goes a little too far in the gross-out/gory department. But...there were times when thi...
