Adrienne L It's such a shame that Klein's output was so small. His story "Petey" is one of the creepiest things I've ever read. I need to give The Ceremonies a reread.


message 2: by Vicki (new)

Vicki Herbert Adrienne, I haven't read Petey, so I'll have to look into that one. Even though THE CEREMONIES was written in the 70s, and it dates itself in places, I still love that book 😊


Jakob J. 🎃 I’ve had this novel for years and still haven’t read it, but I love Dark Gods. THE BEST HORROR NOVEL EVER!? That is very exciting. Going to have to get to this promptly.


message 4: by Vicki (new)

Vicki Herbert Jakob, THE CEREMONIES is an expanded version of THE EVENTS ON POROTH FARM, which I believe is one of the stories in DARK GODS. I like the expanded version better. It is a great summer read because the story takes place mostly on a farm where the protagonist has gone for the summer to do his research. I can't think of another horror novel I'd like to have with me if stranded on a deserted island, lol
😊

Sean Yes! I have said for years this is the best horror novel I have ever read. It's a shame that it isn't more widely known. Outside of serious horror devotees, most potential readers have never even heard of it.


message 6: by Vicki (new)

Vicki Herbert Yes, Sean, this is a classic, IMO. Anyone who likes horror and hasn't yet read this story is in for a real treat! 😊

Luna Awesome review Vicki!! I like this story and will be adding :)


message 8: by Vicki (new)

Vicki Herbert Thank you, Luna! See, I do read books with 500 or more pages (this one was about 600), lol 😆


message 9: by Taufiq (new)

Taufiq Yves This review gave me chills - the slow-burn dread and mythic horror sound incredible. I’m sold on tracking down a copy, even if it’s not on Kindle yet!


message 10: by Vicki (new)

Vicki Herbert Taufiq, it's hard to find, but it is a classic 😊

message 13: by Vicki (new)

Vicki Herbert Nathan, hope you enjoy joy it! It's a great summer read.


message 14: by Vicki (new)

Vicki Herbert Haly, it's getting harder to find this book. Amazon had 19 of them last night @ $19 each.

Peter Hi Vicki, this is an absolute must read. One of the 80s long lost horror gems. Enjoy. All the best Peter

Jack Ace Great review, Vicki. This is a classic and probably the best folk horror tale ever. Best, Jack
