The best review I saw was the shortest one, which didn't really explain a thing, but it made me pick up the book and read it. It was for Michael Marshal Smiths debut book. Only Forward. The back cover said
"May we introduce you to Stark
Oh and by the way- Good luck..."
I just had to read it to see why. I absolutley loved the book and consequently became a huge fan of his books. His books are not for the light hearted prudes, who does not like smoking, swearing or violence.
If you love cats you will love MMS they seem to pop up in every book he writes.

He also wrote an excellent mystery/fantasy novel called KoKo that is too unique to explain. I highly recommend it.

I've been in love with Stephen King and Dean Koontz for years now. The Dark Tower series is just amazing. I've never read anything by King that actually scared me, but it's entertaining.
I think I have to say that I actually prefer Koontz over King, though. There's an element of wisdom in his novels somewhere, almost every time. I'm really pretty sure that reading "Fear Nothing" may have changed my life. The Chris Snow books are all good, same with Odd Thomas. Well, all of the Odd Thomas books except the graphic novel he put out...that was a campy waste of my time, and I love comics!
At one point I tried to start reading KoKo, but I just...I'm not really sure what happened, but I didn't get into it. Maybe I didn't actually try, but I'm sure going to give it another shot!
Would you guys consider V.C. Andrews to be horror? Personally, I wouldn't really, but I've seen her classified as such before...

"Adam" By Ted Dekker is easily the scariest book I have ever read. It's more of a thriller novel than a horror, per se, but if it's scarier than anything I've read by King, I don't see why I can't compare them!

I read "Adam" on this claim, and I have to say, I was a bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it and I will be seeking Dekker out in the future, but I didn't find it anywhere near as scary as a lot of King's stuff.
I've been trying to figure out why, because it is a scary concept explored in the book, but I think it was just that the concept snuck up on me in such a way that my suspension of belief and immersion in the story was compromised. I thought I was just reading a crime novel, and suddenly a dose of the supernatural was thrown in for good measure. Just a bit too random. [/quote]
