cool and creepy in detail

I grew up watching wildlife specials, many in black&white, by the BBC and David Attenborough. He is an amazing biologist with an equally attractive command of the spoken word. This set of 3d blue-ray disks blows me away. Already, I've watched the twice. Many great hours of immersive viewing in excellent 3d effects. If anyone is interested in nature, even a little, and you have a new 3d tv, then you need to buy this cheap, educational, highly factual entertainment.

I really liked this book.  It kept me reading, wanting to know where it would go.  It had a creepy vibe that I like and made me reflect on a lot of things similiar in life to the book.

This is a great book for summer.  The author really takes you on a strange journey that is mostly in someone else's mind and you get to know people through their dreams.  Its kind of cool.  I like the creep factor in the book and that its scary without being demonic.  You don't feel icky afterwards just like What the heck!  The love interest surprised me, its not at all what I expected and Im glad she did what she did.  Throwing in the Frankenstein thing was cool too.

Yeap, the name of the book says it all in a way.  Because in Quiet little towns, they look really quiet, but when you get to know the people and the secret lives of the people, you start to find out who is really who, and the problem with quiet little towns is there are some people that you just don't know because you have never seen them.

This is a creepy little book about some really nice, nice people, a family that had a terrible thing happen to both of them.  Something most of us could not live through. But they survived and moved to Essex Valley, California, from the state of Washington, to get a brand new the start.

The Book is very suspenseful and it kept me wondering, What was that?, Who is it, Who did that?  And the main characters are such nice people that I didn't want anything bad to happen to them so that made the story even better.

Good Read, I liked it.

A haunting. A history. A possesion.
When a family is forced to move, odd things begin to take place. Nightmares haunt twins Pat and Dom, until one night it becomes much more than a haunting.
This was a cool read. I enjoyed it's overall eerieness and the cleverly spun tale that brings the family full circle.

Marsten House represents a childhood horror for writer Ben Mears, and he returns to Salems Lot to put that horror to rest. Ben doesnt expect to fall in love with Susan or make friends with teacher Matt, but he is still seen as an outsider and not to be trusted. When a few disappearances occur, its natural that the village folk see Ben as the one responsible and he is promptly questioned. It doesnt help that the subject of his latest story ties him in with the infamous Marsten House.

Purportedly a haunted house story based on Dracula and flesh-eating vampires, Salems Lot delivers with an eerie setting and a chilling atmosphere in the first few chapters, with creepy dialogue. There was a lot of planning and research in evidence  an apt background to the unexplained mysteries and horrors of the Marsten House. Stephen King delivered with the right pace, slowing down to add character background or speeding up events to the inevitable discovery  a discovery which the reader suspects but the characters can only fear the supernatural. I thought this part of the narrative was artfully done.

From chapter three it became clear to me that Stephen King likes to delve deeply into the lives and histories of numerous characters. (Salems Lot is the first Stephen King book read, so this is new to me.) There were sinister plans in action concerning the renovation of Marsten House, but I did struggle to remember the character names and the respective facts about them, and so could not enjoy Salems Lot to the maximum.

SPOILER: I did think the focus of the story switched in a way I was less comfortable with; I wanted to learn about Marsten House and uncover secrets that could link it with vampires but it ended up being more about the latter.

When the focus returned to Ben Mears and the story sped up, I read with relish. The writing had suspense and didn't need to work hard for my attention. I finished Salems Lot not with Ah, isn't that nice, but with an equally satisfying Ive been through some ordeal, and I want to go through it again.

Rich in atmosphere and truly creepy without being gross, this short story was a lot of fun to read. Lots of style, and I think that the author's take on zombies was unique and interesting.

This is a pretty creepy story, told very well.

I really like this whole series. This is a very engaging part of this extended story line. It is complex, but in a way that is easy to follow and quick to read.

I love graphic novels, and have seen my fair share of them over the years.  This one ranks right up there.  I was very impressed with the story and the artwork.  The "Other Mother" was very creepy, and I found myself up during the middle of the night taking peeks at the artwork.  It is definately too scary for my 6 yr old.  I'm wondering if the movie is less intimidating and less frightening.  I have yet to see it.  But I can recommend this as a great graphic novel...the art is great and the concept is first rate creepy.

If you like Poe, Lovecraft, Tim Burton,or the film "The Others" by Alejandro Amenbar, you will love this book.
Caroline shows us a collection of  old fotos of innocent Victorian children, from which she creates spine-chilling stories.
I enjoyed it and I am waiting for her next book.

Creepy and compelling. This is a story about two sisters, their uncle, the mysterious deaths of the rest of their family, and a cousin who suddenly comes to visit.

The younger sister `Merricat' is the narrator. Her voice is unusual and at times disturbing, which adds to the creepy, dramatic tone of the story. The reader gradually learns the story of their past.

If you like gothic, mysterious, old fashioned books, I highly recommend this.

This book makes a stalker almost seem cool. But it is a very real and terrifying phenomena.

Well written and also a good thing that this stalker was not such a bad guy

Penpal was far better than I was expecting. I finished it in one sitting, with lots of nervous pauses at every creak I heard. The fact that this came from a creepy pasta was interesting because the novella moved like a novel, not like a post. Auerbach did an excellent job of ensnaring his readers. He developed the characters and plot in a way that made it all seem uncannily familiar, and there is perhaps nothing more chilling than feeling connected to a victim in a horror story. My only critique is that it is so short, it would have been nice to see Auerbach really flesh out and elaborate the ending. I enjoyed the fact that I spent much of the novel in the dark about the narrator's history. Learning about his past as he learned it was an excellent narrative move as it solidified the reader's connection with the narrator. I've been immersing myself in the horror/terror genre, and this was one of the books that still haunts me.

The story itself is creepy (old woman burned alive, evil step-mother who leaves her children to die - multiple times . . .) but the illustrations in this book are absolutely phenomenal.  I actually bought this solely for the pictures.  Beautiful.

Spectacularly creepy and well illustrated. The story is a bit vague, and a lot of the story takes place in insinuation. Very thoughtful and well done, but it will make your skin crawl.

I received this book to give an honest review and my rating is a 4.5.
Alright so first of all the cover is what calls out to me it just has that creepy but yet cool factor to it.

Though this book is not creepy or scary at all it is pretty good, though at times I would find myself wondering how are all three characters related there has to be something there for all of them to be connected. Each story within the story is unique just like the characters. We have Onyx Webb who has a mystery surrounding her all on its own especially with the words her mother left her father with. Though I want to know what is in the box that was left for her when she was old enough to understand. We see that Onyx has a not so easy grown up life.  We do know that Onyx is a ghost I just hope that we get to learn how she became one as we don't get told within these episodes.

We go between time lines from 1900's up to 2010 each character Onyx, Juniper, Koda and then the side characters all play a part it is just a matter time before each one web into each other. I really like the paranormal or supernatural which ever one you want to call it plays a role within the story.

Juniper is a character that when her story is told you wonder how will it end for her? Will she ever be found?

Koda I am not too sure about as he is the son of a wealthy man but acts like a spoiled brat his friend Dane is one that I like and I really liked how we got to see a bit of Dane's back ground and his abilities.

I think the authors did a great job with weaving between different characters and what was going on in their life during certain time periods it was not hard to follow along and I really like how the book ended. I wouldn't call it exactly a cliffhanger but more like something you are wanting more of. I just hope that these three main characters get their story completely told within the other episodes before there are other characters brought into the mix of the story (if that is something that would happen.)

There is plenty of mystery, death, drama mixed all into one. Give this book a try and see if this serial book is one for you.

Really enjoyed this book - creepy and horrific without overplaying the graphic descriptions.  My own imagination is quite capable of filling in horrific detail.  Looking forward to the sequel.
