|
by: Ray Bradbury, Joseph Mugnaini Amazon.com's Price: $4.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Halloween is fast approaching. A recent conversation with a stranger in the lands beyond Avalon regarding the holiday and its origins have made me decide to review another old book that some may have overlooked. The book is called THE HALLOWEEN TREE and was written by Ray Bradbury. This book tells the story of a group of small boys and a dangerous adventure they all share one Halloween with a spooky character named Clarence Clavicle Moundshroud. Much of the tale is taken up by the search for a ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 253. My Sweet Audrina | |

by: V.C. Andrews Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I happen to love VC Andrews books and think that she was a very special and unique writer that could spin a marvelous tale and keep the reader enthralled like no other. This story is particularly gothic, dark and satisfying. Even after you have read through it once and understand what is going on it is still exciting to reread it because you are looking at it from a different angle. So what did VC Andrews have before? She could make modern times into something from a fairy tale until you weren't ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 254. The One Tree (The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, Book 2) | |
|
by: Stephen R. Donaldson Amazon.com's Price: $7.50 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description THe One Tree is spectacular. So much of the nature of the series, both one and two, are revealed through the poetic form of Donaldson's delightful prose. This book has been said to drag on by some readers, but this is innacurate, because Donaldson doesn't waste words. Everything is necessary to meet an ultimate climax. The new giants are wonderful and giants in general bring so much hope for humanity whereas Covenant can bring cynicism and Lord Foul despair. Vain is a mystery and symbolic on a level: there is no one ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 255. Reign of the Dead | |
|
by: Len Barnhart Amazon.com's Price: $17.95 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I read some of the bad reviews written on these pages and I can see some of the points they are making, like the single dimensionality of the characters, half developed dialoges, and editing inconsistencies. On the other hand, I still love this book, because of its creatvity, story line, and the fact that it provided me with a good-old Romero type zombie survival book which is so hard to find for Zombie fans like myself. I think reviewing this book for its literary value is a big mistake. Let's be honest... If you ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 256. The Stepford Wives | |
|
by: Ira Levin, Peter Straub List Price: $11.95 Amazon.com's Price: $9.56 You Save: $2.39 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book never really hit home for me until I moved from new York to a small town in Connecticut---one that just happened to be a few miles from where Ira Levin lived at the time he wrote this book. And it is for this reason that I "connected" with it, for it is a most thrilling story about a family that moves from the hustle and bustle of New York, to Stepford a quiet suburb on the outer rim of the city. It was many years ago when I initially read the book, and now, revisiting it, it has all the more meaning for me. The Author drops ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 257. Animal Farm (Fables, Book 2) | |
|
by: Bill Willingham List Price: $12.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.36 You Save: $2.59 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Wow! When I heard all of the buzz around Fables (starting many months ago), I was skeptical. I thought it was a silly idea for a story, and had no chance of surviving very long. Oh, how I was wrong on so many levels. I purchased the first Fables tpb from amazon.com because of the cheap price (deciding to give it a shot to see what all the hype was about). I figured that, if I didn't like it, I would only be out 10 bucks. The first tpb blew me away! It was some of the best storytelling I've read in 10 years of serious comic book collecting. I ...

| 258. Cujo | |
|
by: Stephen King Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Wow, how many times have you heard that written about a Stephen King book? I say it with a die-hard fan's sincerity, though--I've read every book he has ever published at least 3 times each, and "Cujo" is, without a doubt, one of his best. For some reason, though, it's always lumped with the more "halfway" books (books that, while good, aren't on the better side of King's body of work). I think, however, that the problem lies with what i feel to be the book's strongest point: it's complete realism. In Beahm's 'Stephen King Companion,' he points out that ...

Customer Reviews and Description Hellboy has left the BPRD (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense) but that doesn't mean they are gone. Now the BPRD have their own stories. This volume collects Hollow Earth and several shorter adventures. Hollow Earth - Abe Sapien travels to the Himalayas and below to find and rescue Liz. The journey takes them do a world of darkness that threatens the surface. I really enjoyed the Journey to the Center of the Earth ending. Also touching were there Hellboy flashbacks and how he endeared himself to various characters (I loved the lollipop). Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 260. Gerald's Game | |
|
by: Stephen King Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I should start by saying that Gerald's Game is the first Stephen King novel I have read. Stephen King was one of those authors I could take or leave before, but now I can't wait to read more of his work. I could not put this book down!Talk about a page turner: a taut psychological thriller in which King takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride. I found myself really and truly feeling for Jessie. What's more, when you think about it, is King's ability to create an entire novel out of one woman's thoughts as she lies handcuffed to a bed in a deserted lake house. Perhaps ...
