Hey Jason,
Happy New Year. I am in for Prey.
Thanks
Jamie

Can u get this book on kindle or nook? Cant find it on kindle.

Unfortunately, I don't think that there's an eBook version of Prey.

Ok. Thanks Jason. I will have to skip out on this one.

Have read it. Good one!

I read it last year and it's very good. Very chilling.

I ordered a paperback copy from Abe Books per Tressa'a suggestion and I only paid $4 for it. Included free shipping too! I should have it by mid to late next week. Looking forward to it!

That's awesome, Bill! I love Abebooks.

It has been a looong time since I read this book. It was one of the first horror books I ever read I believe. Just wanted to let you guys know that this is one of the only books to ever truly scare me. It made me run quickly through the house and make sure the lights were on and stuff like that. LOL. Movies are usually scarier than the books for me but this book is really SCARY! I loved it!! It was my first by this author and it made me read a couple other books he has written but this was my fav!

I read and enjoyed this book. It picked up quickly and had a writing style that was involving and entertaining. The premise is also fairly unique. That being said, I think the book needed to be about 100 pages longer. Masterton seems like he's trying to do too much too fast. There are some scenes that proceed so quickly they are jarring, especially coming on the heels of some that are perfectly developed and paced.

This isn't to say it's a bad book - I don't finish bad books, and I finished this one. But when I finished it I felt like I had finished a very promising first draft rather than a finished product, which was disappointing.

Just started this one. It has a great opening chapter. Really spooky!!

I do have this one to read but haven't started it yet. Hope I get to it this month before everyone else stops reading it ;)

Thanks for the scoop re: Abe Books - just got mine and hope to read through it in a day or two. Looks scary so far

Well, I finally got the book and the type set is so damn small I don't even think I will be able to read it! Bummer. That's 1 point for ereaders!

That is a bummer, Bill. I really hate small print!

Me too! I get cutting down publishing costs by using less pages, but seriously, I don't think I can read this without a pair of binoculars! My eyes aren't what they used to be...

I never liked small print, but yeah, my eyes hurt more reading that small print crap now more than before. Could also be that I'm spoiled from my Kindle. lol

I had a copy of McCammon's MYSTERT WALK that not only had the smallest print I've ever seen, it was smeared.

WTF?

WTF, is right! I really wanted to read that one too. Have to wait until it comes out as an ebook and increase the font size.

At least it looks good on the shelf :)

True dat!

I keep a couple of magnifying glasses around for books like that, though.

Be prepared, right?

Prepared is good!

Indeed!

Hi everyone :) I tried to read this book a

This book is insanely hard to find in my area!

Elizabeth, i was lucky enough to find it in a place called book barn here in the uk. Its a huge warehouse full of secondhand books. It has the original cover with Brown Jenkins and his shiny green eyes! x
