Reviews

[Angel Gelique · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read Boogeyman last year and thought it was such a rush! Until then, I had no clue what Splatterpunk was. To make things even better, I was one of the lucky people selected to appear as a character in the second book--this one, Boogeymen 2. I'm Angel! Well, not entirely. I'm not a blonde, single mother with a gangbanger boyfriend. But that Angel--the character in the book--is based on little old me! And I'm sort of (very) excited about it! So naturally, I had to buy this book immediately upon finding out it was available. I read it right away, too...how could I resist?!? This is the first opportunity I've had to write my review.

Notwithstanding the fact that "I'm" in the story (and that "I" die a bloody, brutal death!) I thoroughly enjoyed this book. What an incredible imagination author Brian J. Prisco has.

When chaos erupts on the streets, a handful of people take cover in an abandoned video store. They come upon an occult alter and a dusty circle, recognized by one of the occupants as part of a containment spell. When the gangbanger inadvertently breaks the circle, things really begin to get weird. All I can say is, prepare to revisit some classic horror movies and scenes, but with all-new action.

This was a quick, fun story and I'm thrilled to be a part of it!
