Saurian

Summary: Unique horror novel a good read
Review: From the very beginning, Saurian distinguishs itself as a very different kind of horror novel. The premise begins with a young boy growing up in a Florida oceanfront town. The innocence of youth is lost quickly when a monster unlike anything ever imagined destroys everything he knows. The remainder of the book follows him in adulthood and the repressed memories of this incident slowly surfacing. He discovers that not only did this really happen, but that others have experienced this horror and it still exists today. The beginning of this book has some extremely creepy moments. It slows down near the end but the character development is good enough that you'll want to follow it through to the end. This title is out of print but can probably be found used in many outlets. It is the first I have read by Schoell but will look for other titles in this genre in the future.

Summary: The power of "Saurian"...
Review: The mastery of William Schoell over detail and power of words just grabbed and shook me. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be scared a little and almost convinced that what they are reading is really going on. There is no way to compare the intensity of "Saurian" to anything else because there are no books like it. The final confrontation with The Beast as it stampedes along the pier is one of the greatest parts. I would be the first in line if "Saurian" were made into a motion picture. Although it would lose some of it's intensity, it would gain some through the graphics available to the movie industry. That's all I have to say about that.

Summary: This book was the all out best book I have ever read.
Review: This book was great. After reading this book I have been looking for his other books...for about three years! I have only found 1 more book of his though. I read this book, told my friends, and all of a sudden, my entire school was reading it! If William Schoell is reading this, (unlikely) please make another book!

Summary: Another great book from William Schoell
Review: William Schoell is simply unappreciated great horror writer, some of his books are much better than what Stephen King ever wrote. Here, an huge, ancient, alien beast kills everfything in its path, only a small boy survives. Later on, while being an adult, he must face the beats once more. Original and thrilling. You get hooked right from the beginning.

Summary: The power of "Saurian"...
Review: You are asleep in your beach front home. A Man jumps into the water. He turns in to a saurian alien beast. He stomps on your house, killing you and every one else in the house. This is the kind of intense yet thought provoking terror that William Schoell wrtes about in 'Saurian'. And even though it says "out of stock", I bought it at a local Marden's Surplus Store for a small 88?! What a price for 200+ pages of great plot!
