Ambientada en la actualidad (bueno, en los años ´80 cuando fue escrita), la caracterización de los personajes es impecable, especialmente me impactó Melanie Fuller, la anciana adherida a una aristocracia decadente y Saul Laski, un sobreviviente del holocausto, obsesionado por su experiencia de haber sido “usado” en los campos de exterminio. The Dead Take the A Train is a fast-paced madhouse of mayhem combining the best of Kadrey’s thrillers with Khaw’s gruesome Lovecraftian horror. It’s also blisteringly funny, striking the perfect balance between humor and horror. The writing flows smoothly throughout the novel, with Khaw and Kadrey finding a common voice that perfectly suits the irreverent nature of the tale. My only complaint is that the novel feels too long, and the plot could have been tightened up in several places.

As a child she moved around frequently with her family, spending time in London, Provence, Tuscany, Gloucestershire and Cambridgeshire. The characters Saul and Natalie, learning about the actions of The Trio and The Island Club, observe that these people with immense psychic powers could be considered a type of vampire, as they feed off the energy of those they indirectly kill to gain youth and energy.

Grants access to the Vulture's Prayer innate skill (2AP skill to explode a corpse for healing and 15% damage buff) Overall, I loved the cosmic and body horror as well as the gore, but felt pretty meh about the characters and the romance. I didn't love it, but it was a fun read and I still want to see where things go in the next book since there were a couple of loose threads left hanging. A book may be the accidental container of a text, the structure of which is irrelevant to the book: these are the books of bookshops and libraries. Beneath the Watery Moon is Betsy Reavley’s beautifully written first release and tells the macabre story of a young woman battling against mental illness.Thank you so much NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC and the chance to listen and review it honestly. Mind penetrating psi vampires haunt humankind in the same year Simmons´ ingenious sci-fi fantasy milestone Hyperion was published and revolutionize the horror genre in the same way. Thank you so much to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for this advanced audiobook my review is voluntarily my own. Julie Crews, a coke-fueled, burnt-out thirty-something, strives to make her mark in the NYC magic scene through any means necessary. However, her relentless pursuit of success unwittingly attracts the attention of a vengeful god. Julie's power grab sets off a deadly chain of events, endangering her friends and the entire world. So amazingly many pictures of this and Simmons´ other horror novel, Summer of night, that feels like a reinterpretation of Stephen Kings´ It, stay in mind, always a sure sign that the quality of the stuff is so high that it permanently blows ones´mind away and leaves one, wasted, but very happy, afterward.
