Rating: Summary: Lumley opens new doors to Sci-Fi... Review: This book had the distinction of being the first Brian Lumley novel that i ever read, and I am happy to say that it is not going to be the last. "House of Doors" was a thoroughly engrossing novel that kept me reeled in page after page. At first the concept was a little hard to understand, but once I understood what the idea was, i had a wonderful time with this novel. So, we have a group of people that are lead by a man named Spencer Gill, that are trapped within a structure called the House of Doors, that is really a intergalactic funhouse of sorts, that is said to be larger on the inside than it is on the out.
I thought that this novel was a fun ride into the sci-fi genre, and a very good work into the fears and nightmares that sometimes trap us all. I found myself rooting for the characters who seemed like believable person, and it was a great read. I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Perfect blend of Sci Fi and Horror Review: This book is pure genius. I could not put it down which is becoming the norm when I am reading Brian Lumley. The group of "explorers" each experience their own deepest fears in a world made just for that purpose and they experience each others worlds also. The human race is on trial and it is a hung jury. Spencer demonstrates his superior mental and moral qualities and gets to the bottom of this mystery. Very well detailed scenarios and characters help to captivate you and envelop you in Brian Lumleys imagination. What a great book, I wish there was a number two to read.

Rating: Summary: House of Doors/Enter a horror house Review: This is a great book. The personal fears of our crew are manifested in separate "worlds" partly of their own subconcious making. It's a pretty scary thing to be thrust into a world with your deepest darkest fears made flesh. This book is pure genius. The characters are perfect in all their inperfections. Spencer Gill is really the greatest character and I wish there was really such a person so I could meet him. The only reason I didn't give this five stars is because of the science fiction factor. I would like to have seen a bit more supernatural elements, but thats just a personal preference. This is great horror right up there with Clive Barker who is my all time favorite. I highly recommend this book.
