The Review:

A post-apocalyptic zombie thriller with a unique twist that is an incredible yet gruesome page-turner Even the worst of the villains are intriguing, and reading well-written female characters is a breath of fresh air. A must-read for all the zombie genre fans.

If you've seen the movie but haven't read the book, skip the movie and read the book instead; it's a lot better and a little different. I read the book first and then watched the movie, and it's a good thing I did because I would never have read the book after watching the movie for obvious reasons, but the movie isn't bad on its own.

One of its most powerful aspects is the depth of its characters, followed by a story that is related to the zombie apocalypse but different enough to set it apart from all the generic zombie novels. The main character's innocence and intelligence are so beautiful that you may want to cry for her, but she is more than capable of handling herself and standing up to protect someone she cares about.

The first half is a fast-paced, well-written narrative that will make you think about and care about an unusual character, something you might not do in a typical zombie novel.

Because it was originally a short story that was expanded to make a full novel, the second half feels rushed and not as good as the first. It's not bad, but when you compare both halves, it feels a little off. One of the most incredible aspects is that the ending actually connects all of the threads and nicely concludes the story.

This book has a prequel, "The Boy on the Bridge," but both books can be read as standalone. If you never read that book, it won't matter, but I still recommend it because it's not bad.

The audio version of this novel is also excellent, and I recommend purchasing it or using the link here to get a free trial version and the book if you do not already have an audible account: https://amzn.to/3B59C27


Synopsis:

“Melanie is a very special girl. Dr Caldwell calls her "our little genius."

Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class. When they come for her, Sergeant keeps his gun pointing at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they don't like her. She jokes that she won't bite, but they don't laugh.

The Girl With All the Gifts is a groundbreaking thriller, emotionally charged and gripping from beginning to end.”

Rosemary's Baby

Rosemary's Baby

Published: 12, March 1967

Author: Ira Levin

Genres: American, Classics, Demonology & Satanism, Fiction, Ghost, Horror, Literature, Mystery, Occult, Suspense, Thrillers

Check the summary of this book here:



The Review:

This book is all about the buildup. Scream-inducing events do not appear out of nowhere. Rather, the suspense builds and builds as the story progresses until something terrifying occurs. Something that makes you shiver. Ira Levin did a fantastic job on this, and I admire his meticulous attention to detail.

I first saw the movie but couldn't understand what was going on because I was young, but I had nightmares about it until I read the book, and then my nightmares turned into sagas in which I was fighting hordes of demons all night. I know there are no visible demons in the movie or book, but reading gave me a complete picture of what was going on, which is why my imagination created those demons.

It is necessary to read this book in order to comprehend why it is so popular among horror fans. The author did an excellent job of establishing the atmosphere, and the ending will definitely creep you out.

It's a classic, but it doesn't feel like one, and I'd call it a timeless story. A quick read, even with so much suspense and creep factor; it's not boring or dragging, and you can finish it in one or two sittings.

This is a classic page-turner that will make you panic and worry so much for the main character that you will feel angry and want to do something about her and her child's safety. All of this panic-inducing writing is why this book is so highly rated, and I'm going to stop now because anything else might give away the information from the story, and I don't want to spoil anything for the readers, but if you want spoilers, check out the summary here: Rosemary's Baby Summary


Synopsis:

“A masterpiece of spellbinding suspense, where evil wears the most innocent face of all . . .

Rosemary Woodhouse and her struggling actor husband Guy move into the Bramford, an old New York City apartment building with an ominous reputation and mostly elderly residents. Neighbors Roman and Minnie Castavet soon come nosing around to welcome the Woodhouses to the building, and despite Rosemary's reservations about their eccentricity and the weird noises that she keeps hearing, her husband takes a special shine to them. Shortly after Guy lands a plum Broadway role, Rosemary becomes pregnant, and the Castavets start taking a special interest in her welfare. As the sickened Rosemary becomes increasingly isolated, she begins to suspect that the Castavets' circle is not what it seems . . .”

Pet Sematary

Pet Sematary

Published: 14, November 1983

Author: Stephen King

Genres: Occult, Suspense, Ghost, Horror, Supernatural, Thrillers, Fiction, Animals, Zombie

The Review:

The book that will give you nightmares and make you jumpy from the first page and will haunt you long after you've finished it. Even the king admitted that, of all the horror novels he had written, this one terrified him the most.

I first saw the movie adaptation of this book, then read the book a few years later, and I was shocked to my core; the movie was scary, but the book is unrivaled; I am confident that it can scare even an adult to the same degree that it can scare a child.

When I have to say things like "Stephen King is an incredible storyteller" or "he is the master of his craft," I sometimes feel like a broken record. Because he has so many books, almost all of which are fantastic. Perhaps I'll save this paragraph and use it in all of my future reviews of his books.

One of the most recommended books and scary as well, just don’t forget, it is better not to read it at night especially before going to bed because I have noticed a pattern of nightmares in almost everyone who reads it before sleeping.

The book touches a deep chord in the reader’s heart by asking and doing something painful, then gives a solution but the solution is so scary and gives you a choice to think if it is ethical or unethical. When I first watched the adaptation of this book,

I really wanted to do the unethical and later when I read the book, I still wanted to do the unethical because I believe one person's ethics may be another’s unethical and vise versa. Like a martyr can be a hero to one country or religion but to the other, he may be a terrorist, so we can’t decide which is which and what is wrong and what is correct for everyone. Plus I love when death is defeated in any form, even Frankenstein’s monster was to me a success and win over death.

The novel is going to grab your windpipe in the last hundred or so pages so be advised and don’t read it when you are alone.


Synopsis:

“Now a major motion picture! Stephen King’s #1 New York Times bestseller is a “wild, powerful, disturbing” (The Washington Post Book World) classic about evil that exists far beyond the grave—among King’s most iconic and frightening novels.

When Dr. Louis Creed takes a new job and moves his family to the idyllic rural town of Ludlow, Maine, this new beginning seems too good to be true. Despite Ludlow’s tranquility, an undercurrent of danger exists here. Those trucks on the road outside the Creed’s beautiful old home travel by just a little too quickly, for one thing…as is evidenced by the makeshift graveyard in the nearby woods where generations of children have buried their beloved pets. Then there are the warnings to Louis both real and from the depths of his nightmares that he should not venture beyond the borders of this little graveyard where another burial ground lures with seductive promises and ungodly temptations. A blood-chilling truth is hidden there—one more terrifying than death itself, and hideously more powerful. As Louis is about to discover for himself sometimes, dead is better…”
