Slither b. Edward Lee

Slither by Ed Lee


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is another book from those wonderful publishers of horror fiction, Leisure Books. I didn’t know it until after the book came in, but suffice to say if you are looking for a scary read, check out their catalog! My first book by Edward Lee, “Slither” provides a good amount of chills, grotesque scenes, horrifying deaths and creatures that will make you squirm. It is about worms, small ones and large ones and even larger ones that have infested an island that folks (college kids and rednecks) just can’t stay away from. The book kept me turning the pages quite swiftly, wanting to know what was going to happen next. Filled with a great deal of sex, murder and mayhem, it is definitely not for the weak of heart. It even has something in it for zombie lovers!

The surprise twist towards proved to be a tad far out (literally), and because of it, I would have to say it knocked a star off for me, but overall this was a chilling gem!

Prador Moon b. Neal Asher

Prador Moon by Neal Asher


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
After having read Neal Asher's "Cowl" it felt so good to dig into fun, uncomplicated science fiction with daring battles, a dastardly villianous alien race, kick-ass weapons and starships, a larger-than-life hero and a plucky female heroine. "Prador Moon" is a short novel based in Asher's Polity Universe , which depicts the first contact between the humans and the crab-like Prador species, who swiftly find out that humans are tasty.

While the ending comes a little abruptly, this is one gem that I would definitely recommend for sci-fi lovers!
