Rating:  Summary: Amazing Horror Novel. Very scary. Review: This is by far one of the best horror novels I've ever read. Maybe the best. Simon Clark knows how to write a scary and creepy book!! The characters and setting are so vivid you feel like you're there. The plot takes a new spin from most horror novels and Clark does an excellent jobs. Well paced and horrifying throughout. The first pages grab you so be ready.
Rating:  Summary: Crazy for Blood Crazy!!!! Review: This is just the beginning of what I hope will be a long and terrifying ride on the Simon Clark roller coaster. This is by far the best!!!! horror novel to come out in years. The book grips you right from the start and never slows down. It's a wonderfully frightening story with great characters. When Curt and his sicko friends make the little girl and her dog "carry the can" I felt real anger and frustration. Many times throughout Blood Crazy I was moved to feel the same emotions as the main characters. This is not just another gory horror novel but a gripping work of fiction (if you like gruesome reading you'll get your fair share as well). Read this book! To Simon Clark...please! write a sequel and more.
Rating:  Summary: It's the end of the world as we know it Review: This is one of the best books in the horror genre that I've read in years. I was so engrossed in the story that it was difficult to put this book down. 17 year old Nick Aten (rhymes with Satan)comes home one morning after a stayover at a friend's to discover his brother's gruesome death. Death by the hands of their parents. And now Nick's parents will stop at nothing to make sure he dies too. All the adults have turned into zombie-like creatures programmed to kill anyone under the age of 19. It's kill or be killed. We follow Nick through his story, looking for other survivors, trying to keep alive and ahead of the "Creosote" ( the zombie adults) and trying to figure out what turn the adults into Creosote. How is the human race to carry on if there's no one left? Warning! This book contains pages of bloody, stomach turning carnage.
Rating:  Summary: A suspenseful, smart horror novel Review: This is one of those books it takes a day or two to read because you can't put it down. Its narrated by Nick Aten, a seventeen year old who hangs out in clubs and generally gets in trouble most of the time. He is thrust into a nightmare when parents begin to kill their children out of the blue and he comes home to find his brother dead. From that point on, the story begins and he is soon on the run for his life, picking up kids along the way who get caught in his town. But as our protoganist soon finds out, its not just parents who want to kill their children; all adults are out to kill anyone under the age of nineteen and this is a world-wide phenonmenon.Blood Crazy is very different than anything I've ever read. From the chase by the "Creosotes" (afflicted adults) to the formation of colonies of kids fighting them, this one never bores. Its different from the traditional horror novel because its not a supernatural thriller, but its based on nature. Simon Clark is very unique in that he is able to write nature-based horror that doesn't rely on ghosts or traditional monsters. This makes him kind of unique in the field. Usually that sort of thing bores me, but not the way he writes it. If you want a totally different type of horror novel, this one is for you. Its very smart, the characters are three-dimensional, and its well-written. A great book from one of my new favorite authors.
Rating:  Summary: You're Not Gonna Figure It Out! Review: This is one unique tale! Adults are brutally killing all the children. However, some kids escape, find each other and form a survival group. Together, they'll fight the adults and try to figure out what's happening. Readers won't figure out the cause of the adult population's loss of sanity. It's not what you might expect. You'll get a surprise ending that hasn't been done before, to my knowledge. Will the kids survive? Will the adults return to normal? How widespread is the problem? Why isn't there one pregnant female adult in the entire story (I'm curious if she'd rip out her stomach to destroy the fetus)? Well, you'll just have to read BLOOD CRAZY to find out.
Rating:  Summary: A Children's Book Review: This is probably the worst attempt at writing horror I have ever seen. Yea sure it's scary, if the scariest book you've ever read is "Where the Wild Things Are" as a child. However if you are above the age of 8, I would strongly suggest reading something actually worth your time.
Rating:  Summary: Fantastic! Review: This is the first book by Clark that I've read. I'm very impressed with his style of writing. I do plan to get more of Clark's books. What would happen if you woke up one day and one of two things happened. You're over 19, and you killed your kids and are after other kids. You are infact a zombie. Or on the otherside, you're under 19, and you were lucky enough to live the mass murder, and you have to fight the army of zombies. Meet Steve Aten (and that rimes with Satan). He comes back home ond day and his world has changed. His parents missing, and his brother dead. Soon he finds himself in the middle of an apocalyptic nightmare. He and a band of survivors must fight the zobmies. They have to put aside their differences (and that's not easy) and make a stand agasnit the zombies. That's all I want to say about the plot. I don't want to give more away. If you like horror filled with blood, gore, and more blood, then this is a books for you. If you start Blood Crazy, you won't be sorry.
Rating:  Summary: Finished in Eight Hours Review: This Simon Clark novel dosn't just scare you in places, it also makes you cry and laugh. He is much more than just a horror novelist. Look out Stephen King!!
