| 221. Apocalypse Memories (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) | |
|
by: Melinda Metz, Laura J. Burns Amazon.com's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Apocalypse Memories is certainly the most original of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer novels. The premise of Apocalypse Memories is that the REAL Apocalypse is coming -- you know, the one in the book of Revelations. Where the good and evil are judged. That one. The BIG one. Unlike many of the Buffy books where it is fairly obvious how Buffy will save the day, Apocalypse memories kept me wondering until the end just how Buffy was going to get out of this mess. And, ...

by: DEAN KOONTZ, ARIADNE MEYERS List Price: $39.95 Amazon.com's Price: $27.17 You Save: $12.78 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I have never read a Koontz book before, and know very little about him other than his name. I picked up this book because it promised a spooky read. The opening was very good (though other reviewers have alleged that it is a "rip-off" of an SK novel - I've never read the novel in question, so I don't know). I settled in to be engrossed and entertained. HOWEVER, as I moved farther into the book, I began to realize that the plot was moving towards a preachy, insipid, eye-roll-inducing conclusion. Ugh! I will ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 226. Nemesis (Resident Evil #5) | |

by: S.D. Perry Amazon.com's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description SD Perry does it again. This is another excellent adaptation of the game. I case you're wondering, Perry tells us that the facts of this book will differ slightly from the previous four novels (particularly "Caliban Cove"). The four books were released before the Nemesis game. She obviously couldn't have known. There are two things that make these novels fun to read? 1) Perry tells the story from all the main characters points of view, not just Jill and Carlos. 2) Perry doesn't take incredible creative licenses ...

by: Joe R. Lansdale List Price: $24.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.97 You Save: $7.98 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Joe R. Lansdale writes stories and novels that overlap into a vast array of genres. This short story collection of his is no different. "Bumper Crop" brings together an enthralling and eclectic medley of short five or six page tales stemming from the horror, crime, science fiction, and suspense categories. Though each story is very different from the next in terms of classification and style, they all share a common thread in that they are extremely dark, and not for the squeamish. In his introduction to the book, Lansdale ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Tamara Thorne Amazon.com's Price: $5.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description The tiny town of Madelyn in the California desert is experiencing a rash of strange phenomenon: unexplained lights in the sky, people vanishing, farm animals mutilated. A millenialist cult leader claiming these are the end times has his followers waiting for the Four Horsemen from the Book of Revelations to make an appearence. But none of this is exactly what you'd expect, Thorne plays on the various mythologies of UFO's, religious cults, and serial killers like a virtuoso conductor, thrilling the audience with plot twists, a fully fleshed out cast, ...

by: Annette Curtis Klause Amazon.com's Price: $5.50 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description What an incredibly sweet and beautiful story. I just can't adequately express how wonderful this book is! The characters were complex, likeable, sympathetic. The plot was complicated and engaging. Zoe's mother is dying of cancer, and her father deals with it by spending hours and hours every day at the hospital and refusing to let Zoe come. But Zoe needs to come. And she wants to talk about death. But no one will discuss it with her--her mother, her father, her best friend. Then Zoe meets Simon--beautiful, unearthly Simon. (By the way, Simon ...

by: Stephen King Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I've read this book three times in the past 10 years. I always remember the parts that stick out, but there's enough detail included in the pages that make each reading seem almost brand new. What can I say that hasn't been said already? The idea is original and actually quite believable, as most King's ideas are (this is what helps make his 70's & 80's books so good). The story moves along very quickly and bounces around from character to character so you can't stop reading or get bored with what's going on with one person. I also appreciate King's writing ...
