Summary: Quirky and fast paced
Review: Five stars would be if something scared me too much to move. Only Pet Semetery and Ghost Story have ever done that. GRAVE ROBBERS WANTED did the next best thing. When bad stuff happened, it had me grimacing and tensing up--you know that nails on a chalkboard reaction? The violence is fresh, the methods ingenious. I really felt their pain! Also the main character, Andrew Mayhem, has kids. I found myself really caring when they were in danger. Beyond the scary stuff, this is a fast paced, witty, original story. It's actually really funny. It's too edgy to be called an adventure story, but it has a very adventurous feel. Also, there are many intelligent, likeable underachievers in this book. Reading some of the dialogue is like going to the comic book store in your town and eavesdropping on the guys who hang out there. Apologies if you're reading this and you ARE one of those guys. You'll like this book, too.

Summary: The Epitome Of Humorous Horror
Review: Graverobbers so amazed me when I first read it, I read it twice more over three days. It is the best example of my favorite genre, humorous horror, that I've ever found in print or on screen. The story is silly, yet the realistic dialogue and reactions of the characters to the various horrifyingly absurd situations which arise really bring it home and make it work. Follow likeable loser Andrew Mayhem and his equally bland, yet charming buddy, Roger, as they seek the clues behind an insidious snuff-film business so they can stop the murders of many more innocent victims before they themselves lose their own lives or limbs or beauty--it pretty much all gets threatened here. Strand tells stories at a fast and funny rollercoaster pace with an equal number of squeals of terror and delight. Highly recommended!

Summary: Great laughs, great frights
Review: Pretty much proving why you should never take graverobbing jobs from strangers you meet in coffee shops, Graverobbers Wanted is an excellent read. It's not the first to equally combine comedy and horror but it may be the best at it. It seamlessly transitions between hilarity and terror, sometimes in the space of a paragraph. The protagonist, Andrew Mayhem, is written so well that even when he's making the wrong choices -- and he almost always does -- you still want to root for him. Strand's real strength is in his dialogue, which is a delight to read. Graverobbers Wanted: No Experience Necessary is a great choice for those looking for something with a bit of a bite to it.

Summary: Strand is a warped genius
Review: Sick... but in a good way! I lost count of the number of times I laughed out loud, but there's plenty of tension and gross-out moments along with the one-liners.
Bottom line: if you like Ed Lee, Herschel Gordon Lewis, MST3K, Jack Ketchum, the Evil Dead series, Dave Barry, or the flicks Peter Jackson made prior to Heavenly Creatures, then you'll love this book. It's dark fiction by a guy who appreciates and understands the genre.
I really dug it.
