THE ISLAND (T. M. Wright)
This was the book that turned me onto the work of T.M. Wright.
THE ISLAND (Peter Benchley)
There’s a reason this novel (and the 1981 movie adapted from it) never attained the iconic status of JAWS, or even that of Benchley’s THE DEEP, but THE ISLAND is an undeniable page turner.
INVASION OF THE MUTANOIDS
MUTANOIDS isn’t entirely without interest, it being the most over-the-top alien invasion themed splatter-thon I’ve ever encountered.
INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (Book)
This iconic bestseller is perhaps the key vampire novel of our time.
INFERNO
INFERNO is something else entirely: a sprightly, surreal and totally captivating fantasy with a daring take on the inferno as imagined by Dante Alighieri.
INFERNO: NEW TALES OF TERROR AND THE SUPERNATURAL
This anthology, now available in trade paperback, has garnered much praise since its 2007 debut, and for once all the shouting is justified.
IN THE KINGDOM OF MESCAL
Formatted like a traditional kids’ story book, complete with imposing full-page illustrations, it’s a traditional mythology-based tale in many respects.
ICE
This bizarre novel is widely acclaimed as the masterpiece of England’s Anna Kavan (1905-1968).
I’M THE KING OF THE CASTLE
Nowadays, with pubescent bullying a hot-button issue, I’m surprised this 1970 novel hasn’t gotten renewed attention in the US.
I’M NOT SAM
This book suffers somewhat from being a short story stretched to novella length (with all the noticeable flaws that entails) and the fact that its premise isn’t terribly original, yet no Jack Ketchum effort is entirely unworthy, including I’M NOT SAM.
