Rating: Summary: Little sex, little gore, in this "erotic horror" Review: Edo van Belkom has a reputation for writing "erotic horror." The premise sounded good, so I took a chance ...Man, what a boring book! Not much sex, not much horror. And when it's there, the sex is non-erotic, the horror is non-scary. Instead, there's lots of dull characters talking and talking and talking ... Reads as though Van Belkon was just "going through the motions." "Teeth" is said to have been a short story. Seems as though Van Belkon couldn't figure out how to expand his premise, as the book is mostly padding. If you want gut-wrenching erotic horror, try the first "Hot Blood" anthology. Some good stories in that.
Rating: Summary: Little sex, little gore, in this "erotic horror" Review: TEETH was a great read. It's an original novel on vengeance, based on a condition known as "vagina dentata." I had heard of this condition, although I don't know if any such thing has ever been proven, but it sure makes for an interesting weapon! You'll have fun reading this unless you're really squeamish. If you like horror or thrillers, this one's unique and well-written. Van Belkom has a strange mind, and that's a good thing. The previous reviewer has already told you some things about the novel, so I'm not going into much detail, because I want to leave you with a reason to read the book. It's worth the money.

Rating: Summary: Terrifying & Brilliant Review: Wow... Just finished this book a few minutes ago. Can't believe it. Crazy stuff. Makes me ashamed to be a male, I'll tell you that, and makes me look at other men differently. Quite frankly, I can't believe that it was written by a man. This book is about a female serial killer. I won't go into details - as it is, I feel that too much is given away early on (although there's still enough to keep one guessing about details). Still, I'm giving this such a high rating because I think it hits the exact cord that it's supposed to - it scared the **** out of me. It works as a mystery and as a horror story. It was told in such a straightforward manner that I could imagine it really happening. *shiver* Two flaws: It needed a better copyeditor, because there were lots of little errors. And I think it would have been better without the Prologue (which was previously published as a short story).
