Nice. I bought the first Sandman Slim novel on a whim, as I needed a new author to explore and loved it. Sadly, over time with all the rest that followed I thought Kadrey became rather formulaic. So when I saw this I was hesitant. Maybe I will give it a try...

Why was she not my English Prof when I went to college years ago?

Thanks for the great review, Erik! And yes, the Egyptian book is still coming! I started it, but it got put on the back burner. :( And the book set in Transylvania is Forest of Ghosts.

I do like The Exorcist. I remember when it came out. Someone needs to make an Exorcist pop-up book. I agree with you about end notes. But if you ever read Kant, you will see that his footnotes take up half the page and they digress from the paragraph where they were cited. Thanks for the great video.

That is an awesome cover! So many authors so little time. I'm currently in the middle of The Cleanup by John Skipp and Craig Spector.

I do understand what you mean in this video. He didn't break new ground with this book. But i don't necessarily need every book that I read to be innovative. Eventually I need to read this author's work.

I've seen The Descent one and two. I've seen Doomsday. I enjoyed all three and i want to watch the rest of Neil Marshall's movies.

I can read this without jumping into the past ones

I do like The Toxic Avenger and Father's Day. I want to watch Poultrygeist. Q is one of my favorite Star Trek: The Next Generation villains along with The Borg.

City of the dead: Lucio fulci. Gates of hell

Thank you for reading! Glad you enjoyed! (And my most extreme book is Blood and Brains. People think it wouldn't be because its about Vampires and zombies but . . . it's my most extreme lol)

I went to church camp three times. As a matter of fact, I was at camp during the first moon landing.

Judith Sonnet and church camp....what more could you ask for!

Loved the cooking analogy 😃In 1972, when I was 12 - the girls were always asked whose posters they had on their bedroom wall. Always either David Cassidy, or Donny Osmond. I would look them right in the eye and say 'Alice Cooper ... duuh!'

Erik you asked such great questions! I loooved watching this - go Mikey! (Still have 30 mins left so will probably comment again!)

So happy you liked it! I did initially dislike the tone shift toward the end, but then it all made sense and I appreciated the ending very much!

Love the cover and am definitely getting the book. Great review, as usual!

I've always wanted to read The Sandman Slim books but I never got around to doing that. I have read the first five Dresden books and I liked those. I have a lot of the Charlie Parker novels by John Connolly and I hope to read those eventually.

John Carpenter's The Thing, The Blob remake, the 70's Invasion of The Body Snatchers are some of my favorites as well! Does They Live count? The Stuff?

Are you planning to review others in this series?

I've read this book, and there's at least one extremely violent scene, the big scene between the Remo character and the villain's equally villainous daughter. Even for this series, it's a real "WTF" kind of scene.

I have this one coming my way in the mail! First time viewing your channel. Good review. Subscribed.

I was just about to read a digital copy of the book but found an available audiobook at my library. The story didn’t have any gut wrenching belly laughs, but I did have a silly grin on my face while reading. I rated it 4/5 stars. I need to reread a the digital copy so I can underline some of the funny dialogue. Only one example: “Dried animal carcasses hung from the ceiling, along with crosses and hundreds of little air fresheners in the shape of pine trees”. I’ll never look at a pine tree freshener the same way again.

Im curious i love Fright Night and i love the sequel FN2 but you said this is not a novel is it a graphic novel or a unused script either way im interested in buying this

I like Saturday Night Live but I haven't watched it in years. I love the Debbie Downer, It's Pat, and Superstar skits. I also loved the original Transformers cartoon. I was a young child so I was the perfect age. I had the toys and loved those as well. My family took me to see the Transformers movie. The animated one. I prefer that movie over the live action one. I have only seen the first live action movie and I didn't like it much.

Late to the party, dang it. But i definitely gotta get this!❤

Thank you hon. Just started reading this author. So far so good. Blessings from steamy chicago.

Great review and I'm so glad you loved it! All the Fiends of Hell is, for me, also the scariest book I've ever read!

Nice

I don't think I've ever been nervous about reading a book.

I own many Preston and Child books. I even have their books that they've written separately. But unfortunately I haven't read a single one yet. I have the same problem that you do. There are just too many books to read.

I’m up to date with the Pendergast Series awaiting book #22 “Angel of Vengeance “which is coming soon. I enjoyed all of them generally smearing them all with 5 stars. The Nora Kelly series were usually 3 stars. I haven’t started the Gideon Crew or the Wyman Ford series yet. Also some of the early Stand Alone novels remain unread. Aloysius Pendergast remains one of my favorite characters. The heck with money when we shuffle off this mortal coil; we need to find a way to bring all of our unread piles of books.

I'm so glad that Valancourt has republished many out of print books. The first Valancourt book that I read was Burnt Offerings by Robert Marasco. I need to read more of their republished books.

I loved this book! I read this a couple months ago. I love Nevill, he's one of my favorite authors. House of small shadows was my first and will always be my favorite, it actually gave me nightmares. Night Gallery was so good! The one with the spider that kept coming out of the sink getting bigger each time! That has stuck with me for many years. I still hate spiders! Lol

Summer 1960 NYC . My two sisters and I went to a summer matinee movie for kids. We could walk to the theater. It was some kind of religious movie which was approved by the local parochial school we attended. We knew another movie was next so we slid down in our seats while the Movie Matrons cleared out the kids. ( Movie Matrons were a real thing). They didn’t notice us. The next movie started; it was “Village of the Dammed”. I actually don’t know how long we sat there until we started screaming. We must have been extremely loud. They stopped the movie, turned on the lights and hustled us to the lobby. The theater called our parents, and our Dad came to get us. To this day, I still remember the eyes and light hair on the kids. I still avoid reading “The Midwich Cuckoos” by John Wyndham.

Wait! Let me get my sunglasses. That’s a bright shirt and a scary book cover! So far I’ve only read “ No One Gets out Alive” and the “Reddening”by Adam Nevill. “ Most terrifying book that you ever read” is a scary admission. I have a copy of “All that Fiends of Hell”. I’ll move it up the queue after a finish some Ronald Malfi books.

As a child I was afraid of Tales From The Darkside. The intro was enough to frighten me. Poltergeist also scared me. But as an adult I don't think much has frightened me. Existential horror comes the closest. Some stories by Laird Barron and Thomas Ligotti. I really need to start reading Adam Nevill's work very soon.

I haven't read the novel or the manga. I haven't seenthe movie either. I do want to read the novel and manga though.

I thiiiink I saw the movie of TDC but I can’t remember it very well. I have yet to pick up a Dan Brown book

CC Adams recommended Thor to me but I haven’t read it yet. I recently read Such Sharp Teeth by Rachel Harrison and I LOVED it!

I’ve never heard of Colchak (? Spelling?!) - I’m turned off by detective stories for some reason. As a seasoned detective story enjoyer, where would you recommend I start?

I haven’t read Battle Royale but I’ve been meaning to for years! I really liked the movie. I remember seeing it as a teenager and being totally blown away by the idea

I haven't seen either of the movies or read any books or comics. But I have seen the original TV show and I like it. I'm very interested in buying the reprints of the first two books.

I’ve been looking for good gothic horror books that wasn’t too hyped up. This sounds like something I’d be interested in reading. I ordered it and just got it in the mail yesterday. I can’t wait to read this one. 😊

My favorite werewolf book is The Wolf's Hour by Robert McCammon. My favorite werewolf movie is An American Werewolf in London. I love werewolves. I remember when I was a child that there was a TV series called Werewolf. I used to love that show.

I thought it was so cool that he included characters from his earlier novels!

I thought “Angels and Demons” was better. Both were good at the time but I doubt I would ever reread them. I think that that is true for many books: great to read at that moment but they lose their charm over time. The opposite is also true: some books retain their charm over decades finally getting named a Classic. As always , there are too many other excellent books screaming to be read.

I own The DaVinci Code but I haven't read it. I haven't seen the movie either. I own the other books in the series as well and I haven't read any of them.

I've read the first three books and The Magpie Coffin is the first one. I liked the three I read. In fact, I bought and read The Damned Place and The Damned Ones both by Chris Miller. Those two books take place before Dust. I need to read more of the Splatter Westerns. I have a lot more but I just haven't gotten around to reading any of the others yet. I'm reading them in order. The last one that I bought was The Devoured and The Dead by Kristopher Rufty.

I'm not sure if adding horror to a franchise that I'm completely uninterested in would make me interested. For me romance is the only genre that I'm completely uninterested in.
