review 1: This is a collection of horror stories, and almost all of them are really good. I found the last 2 to be ok (instead of great) but the other stores were really good. Particularly the first one! Great story and great ending (won't say more as I don't want to have any spoilers that might ruin it for you if you decide to read it yourself!)I didn't find the books as scary as the title might suggest, but definitely had me hooked! I found myself reading late into the night - always wanting to read 'just a little bit more'.If you like the genre this is definitely worth it!
review 2: This is not for the light hearted! I am not squimish and have a strong stomach. However, this is a series of books that if filled with nothing but murder, blood and lots of guts! I don't k
... morenow what Ms. McCray has running through her mind when she comes up with this stuff...but I love it! She paints a gruesome picture that will make you look over your shoulder when you are out and about in the dark! Excellent series!To kick this series in the gut to begin with, you will be reading:Fresh MeatA young woman disappears and is thrown into a room full of rapist and murderers. She is going to have to either fight or succumb to the violence. In the meantime, Detective Jake Braut has been reluctantly put on the case. After finally going to invistigate, he finds that this is going to be more than he bargined for. The only insight I can give you in this book is, you will not expect the ending to happen the way that is does. There is one huge twist that made me sit up in bed and say, "you have got to be kidding me!"WidowmakerIf you are into old horror movies, this is the book for you. There is a lot of blook and gore in this book. This book's focal point is the movie "Terror in the Trees." It has a feel of "The Ring" feel to it. In this book we start with Jake. But he disappears from the story after the first chapter. We have the FBI agent Derek Boulder come in and take things over. He is along the same lines of Jake Braut. He is reluctant to take this case. He has some personal issues he is struggling with throughout this entire book. You wonder if he will ever overcome those issues. If you want to know, you better read the book! (In my opinion, there better be a book to follow this! I have some issues with the characters that I want to find out what happen)All Hallow's Eve: The one night it is BAD to be good...This book starts off with the murder of Father Marcus Gonzales. He is graphically murdered in his church. Detectives Ruth and Paxton are on the case to try and figure out who is behind these gruesome murderes. Only problem is, they aren't going to be prepared for what they encounter. This book will have tons of blood, torture and more than enough guts. Don't be reading while you eat if you have a squimish stomach!Rook: Let's Stop the Apocalypse, PeopleThis was my favorite of the books. So many wonderful characters in this book. Rook, who is the so-called leader of a motley crew of peace keepers (if that is what you want to call them). You have my favorite, Beauty, the cross dressing handler. Tomahawk, who is pissed at Rook for getting him pulled back into the fight to protect the world. Fanny, the child in a woman's body. This is such a great story of how they all have something wonderful to bring to the fight. They are basically fighting the biblical God vs Satan war. I can't give you anymore hints than that...READ THIS BOOK! It's worth it!Club DeathA trip to a rave turns deadly for a trio of friends. This is a 3 chapter short story. It gives you a quick adventure that makes you glad you aren't a teenager again.SupperIt's a 1 chapter short story. All I can say is melting body parts! But worth the read! less
