Action/Adventure Aficionados discussion

This thread is to discuss books that are equally action and horror elements.

Can you think of some?

Event works but barely. Maybe Trappedor Enduranceby Jack Kilborn (A.K.A. J A Konrath). They weren't my favorite books but they were almost non-stop bloody gorey, scary-make-you-want-to-puke action, that's for sure.

These are marked as horror, but they seem to have a lot of buttkicking of the monster variety:

was another horror book with very good action elements.

OHH.. OOO..OOHH...

PhantomsKoontz. Dark Fall and Midnight should get honorable mention too.

Twilight eyes is a demon kickin book too (but I mention it a lot.)

Preston and Child books, I think, mix some horror and action elements together. Books like Relic.

Relic is one of my favorite Preston/Child book. I agree it has a great mix of horror and action.

I liked Relic and the sequel Reliquary both. Good scary stories.

I have really liked all of the Pendergast books.

Yea, and

Lightning was a good read.

I must also say that "Phantoms" by Dean Koontz is a great novel. I also liked "Dark fall" by the same author and "Terminal Freeze" by Lincoln Child.

So far, I'm really enjoying Still Life with Crows! I think I've found a new series. :)

Origins by JA Konrath is free on Kindle right now:

I'm adding more to my "I want to read it" list...oh well.

How about F. Paul Wilson's Repairman Jack series. They must be read in order, as the each book builds upon the next. Awesome series!

Jason Still Life with Crows was one of P and C's better books. So is Cabinets of Curosities.

Thanks, Keri!

Or How about midnight mass F.Paul Wilson stand alone. Has Vampires and such.

Oh good one sweetie! I completely forgot about that lil gem. Fabulous read!

I personally think its his best book. Outside the Jack series. F Paul did say he has ideas for sequeal. I feel good that I was one of the people that clammered for stories about Jacks early years with Abe and Julio.

Never Deal with a Dragon By N. Charrette. The first three books. I kind of lot touch after the first three. Then one morning I woke up and it's like there was a Shadowrun Explosion. They even have a Shadowrun RPG!

But the first three books were actually fun reads.

Love dragons and as my pic in here attests too lol.

The wife enjoyed The Act of Laughing. It's probably on the threshold between horror and action/adventure, but she said it was pretty fast paced, and the police-procedural thriller subplots were interesting and well done. Could use a good proofread/edit, but she said the content itself was crisply done, and entertaining.

I finished Damoren this morning and it's a good action horror novel about monster hunters with special weapons they bond to. I'd recommend it to people like action and horror combined.
