Summary: One of the Greatest Overlooked Writers of all Time
Review: Bernard Taylor is one of the greatest horror writers of this or any generation, Believe me! I don't hand compliments out freely. You have to try out this author! I read the Godsend back in 1978 it was the first horror novel I had ever read, it was absolutely brilliant! an instant classic, every bit as good as The Exorcist or Rosemary's Baby. Since then I have read every book that I could get my hands on and they all are uniformely excellent I would give them all 5 stars. Evil Intent is about a man named John Callow who is tormented, cheated, insulted, basically treated like s#!t by the people in his town of Valley Green, he discovers an ancient curse and wreaks death and misery on anyone that ever hurt him. Suspenseful Shocker will keep you on the edge of your seat all the way to an appropriate thrilling conclusion. The endings of Bernard Taylor's stories are always great unlike some of his more sucsessful contemporaries, they're always emotional and unpredictable. Try out Madeline or Sweetheart Sweetheart they're superb.

Summary: Actually 3 1/2 stars....
Review: This particular writer is on par with Simon Clark and James Herbert, two of England's best horror scribes. Taylor is a genius at moving this little story right along. His characters are real and very funny.

Taylor weaves a fascinating nightmare about a family that moves into a relative's house. A couple of incidents with neighbor, John Callow, get them off on the wrong start. He comes around to apologize, but strange deaths begin taking place. Its all related to the RUNES!! I will stop here, but the ending is a clincher.

Taylor is awesome at keeping u interested. The opera doesn't fascinate me, but he described it very well and wanted me to care. A nice story from a guy who obviously knows it doesn't need to be gory, to be scary!!!
