This is another long-time-later reread for me. It has some great scares and made me think twice about turning off my reading light, but it doesn't have the kick of Midnight or the cleverness of Watchers. Still worth a read for the few pants-crapping moments and well written gory detail.

Lisa - OwlBeSatReading Lol! Pants-crapping moments are always a sign of a good read!

They're old school horror so proper cheesy, but I have serious love for Watchers (about a genius dog and evil monster) and Midnight (genetically altered human animal monster hybrids). Great reading. Seriously. Trust me. Really.

The two hands.

The voices from the sinks.

The super speedy and stunningly efficient face removal.

You're new to him? Excellent. You must read Midnight and tell me what you think of it...!!! Though it looks like you didn't enjoy Watchers as much as me... Midnight is much closer to Phantoms so you might get on better with it.

I'm going to investigate both of these things. A film would be great but I doubt it could do justice to the sheer brilliance of the book. I must read it again. I've talked myself into it.

So was (am) I. Who wouldn't want a clever dog? I have cats, so it'd be like larger, less arseholey versions of them.


Kaylyn Agreed!
