Supernatural

Review:Stephen King's novel "Christine" was published in 1983 and later in the year, on the heels of the success of the book, a movie version hit theatres.
The novel deals with a young man who, in 1983, purchases an old run down automobile from 1958 for $250.00. Unknown to the teenager the car is possessed by evil forces and a series of wild mishaps and horrifying events eventually take place.
To many "Christine" is the equivilent to "Jaws on Wheels" and the the main character is indeed... Read more
Review:What a shame he died! Yet the story that takes the history of mankind "ad absurdum" will stay forever with all those who like to look at things from more than one angle. He sometimes uses too many words but the whole book is worth every minute of reading and is funny enough to occasionally be reread. Read more
Review:I enjoyed this book because there were three short stories. All the stories were great. I like J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts). I have been reading her stories for years and these three are right up there with all of her others. Read more
Review:It is definitely a "light-hearted" story. More Stephanie Plum and less Columbo. The "witch" aspect of it is fascinating and keeps the plot twists interesting, because not only do you have the "bad guy" but you have the "bad guy is a supernatural." Read more
Review:I've never been much of a horror fan, especially of the hack-n-slash genre, but Stephen King's works are generally different because of the plausibility factor. The characters are (generally speaking) normal people involved in something with otherworldly origins.
Founding the story in reality serves to heighten the impact of the supernatural, turning the contrast knob all the way over. In Rose Madder's picture, the reader finds it opens a door in Rosie's heart and mind as much as it does he... Read more
Review:A fine examination of the nature of evil, and why it seems to congregate in certain places and in certain people. A sequel to the novel "The Talisman," this is a piece that relates to King's Dark Tower series, the Jupiter of his novels, connecting them - and corrupting them. Jack Sawyer is older, wiser, and his memories of the Teritories are coming back at the same time that a serial killer terrorizes western Wisconsin. This is a brilliant collaboration, weighted and uplifted by the two decad... Read more
Review:When I started reading this book it really caught my attention. The story goes into a very elaborated description of creepy events. I couldn't stop reading because it was very interesting; However, as I got to about 3/4 of the way from finishing this story, the plot unfolded into a wild sequence of unnatural events. It really caught me off guard and the ending was a bit disappointing, not in the sense that I wanted a specific character to win or anything, but how incredibly fictitious it got. I ... Read more
Review:This was the first Domino Finn book I've read and I loved it! It was packed with action and captured my attention from the first page. The only pauses in action were to fill the reader in on background details and history which were very complex with the main character, Cisco, waking up from being dead and trying to find out what happened to him. I also enjoyed how it felt like Cisco was talking to you and taking you along on the wild ride through Miami. Read more
Review:This story and its characters will blow you away. Piper’s writing is phenomenal. I love the ways in which she tells a story and brings the characters in this book to life. I’m so looking forward to the next book in the series. ♥️ Read more
