![]() ![]() We’re talking unflinching brutality with very little variation – songs/chapters exclusively about people being chopped up and eaten. This book reminded me of the music of Mortician. As it stands, there are 4 almost identical scenes of entire families being eaten alive. The extremely formulaic nature of the mantis attacks would get boring if the book was any longer. This fact, like a lot of statements in this book, is repeated numerous times throughout the text. He loves watching men being eaten by monsters. The cheer childishness of the protagonist’s motivation is almost profound. Eat Them Alive is so bad it’s phenomenal. We’ve all seen things described as “so bad it’s good”, but this book takes that to another level. The plot sounds ridiculous, but more ridiculous still is the execution. “But now I’ve got something to live for – because I love watching a man being eaten by a monster! Maybe it’s a substitute for my lost virility, but I know it’s a joy I never thought I’d feel again!”įirst off, this is a book about a castrated psychopath who trains an army of giant, flesh-hungry praying mantises to torture and eat his enemies alive. ![]() This notoriety is due to three factors, its content, its unattainability, and the identity of its author. ![]() Eat Them Alive is one of the most notorious works of horror fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This book centres around two of the characters we met in the last book, Candace and Ryan. ![]() The follow up the first book in the series again focuses on the Airforce base in Bagram and the personnel based there.

Against this, the two teen narrators - 17-year-old Nora, youngest member of the witch (or so they say) family, and Oliver, the mysterious boy she finds unconscious in the woods - are trying to do the right thing, help each other, stay out of harm's way, and prevent catastrophe. ![]() Typically for the genre, much of the plot involves drunk, partying teens with cruel, stupid, bullying behavior, who also throw around a lot of strong language ("f-k," "s-t," "pissed," "a-hole") and trash the houses of absent owners after breaking in. ![]() One of the characters has very likely killed him, but some have lost their memory and others aren't talking. Everyone is trapped there for weeks with no power or phone service in the wake of a storm, in which a boy has disappeared and is presumed dead. Pacific Northwest Gothic creepiness abounds, including a supernatural forest, a bottomless lake, generations of witches living by its side, and a camp for wayward boys. Parents need to know that Winterwood, like author Shea Ernshaw's debut The Wicked Deep, is an angst-filled, ominous tale of teens in love, at the mercy of mysterious forces and struggling to find their path. ![]() |
