The Review:

This story has it all: it's part horror, part suspense, and part thriller. Mr. Bates' writing was both incisive and vivid. The characters were convincing and realistic but stereotypical to the point of cringe overload. The plot of the narrative seems credible. The reader can infer that an experiment comparable to Dr. Wallis' was conducted. That just adds to the dread of this novel.

I was interested in learning more about the real "Russian Sleep Experiment" after hearing about it on a shady YouTube channel, but when I discovered that it was true, it piqued my interest because I have had some experience with the long-term effects of sleep deprivation, such as uncontrollable laughter and seeing sudden movements and shadows around you that may or may not be real, but I never looked into it further because the body simply can't stay awake after a few days.

The title of this book was the first thing that drew me into the series, and I believe that it perfectly captures the real story in its own twisted and unexpected way. But keep in mind that it isn't just about that Russian experiment; rather, it expands on it and creates its own world, characters, and situations.

Slow to begin, but that's what a slow burn is all about when you reach the boiling point and begin to see the truth you've been waiting to see since the first page. Not a huge book and can be finished in one or two sittings.

The way antihero is written is so good that you'll hate him on one page and then want to support and help him on the next. That is what a great author can do to the emotions of his or her readers. Yes, you will smell the cringe all around you as you read about the characters in this novel, but it was only a small part of the story, so I will not deduct points for it.

The World's Scariest Legends is supposed to be a series, but all of the books are standalone stories based on true stories. I'm glad I found this series, and I'm not going to hate the author or the series because of something that was specifically written to add to the story, because diverse and flawed characters are an important part of any story, and if everyone is perfect, the story will end on one page. So just read it without any preconceived notions and enjoy it.


Synopsis:

““SHOCKING...TERRIFYING"—Entertainment Weekly
From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Jeremy Bates comes the second book in the all-new WORLD'S SCARIEST LEGENDS series.

In 1954, at the start of the Cold War, the Soviet military offered four political prisoners their freedom if they participated in an experiment requiring them to remain awake for fourteen days while under the influence of a powerful stimulant gas. The prisoners ultimately reverted to murder, self-mutilation, and madness.
None survived.

In 2018, Dr. Roy Wallis, an esteemed psychology professor at UC Berkeley, is attempting to recreate the same experiment during the summer break in a soon-to-be demolished building on campus. He and two student assistants share an eight-hour rotational schedule to observe their young Australian test subjects around the clock.

What begins innocently enough, however, morphs into a nightmare beyond description that no one could have imagined—with, perhaps, the exception of Dr. Roy Wallis himself.”

Mosquito Man

World's Scariest Legends Book 1


Mosquito Man
World's Scariest Legends Book 1
Published: 13, February 2019

Author: Jeremy Bates

Genres: Alternate History, Fantasy, Fiction, Ghost, Horror, Literature, Monster, Mysteries, Psychological, Science Fiction, Supernatural, Suspense, Teen, Thrillers, Young Adult



The Review:

This was a terrifying story that made me wonder what new terrors awaited me around the corner, and it was well worth the effort to find out what they were. It's the first installment in the World's Scariest Tales series, and it's based on "true" legends from around the globe. More characters and backstories are revealed as the story progresses, as are the horrors of the past and those who have returned to the present. I admire this author's work; if you read one of his books, you will not be disappointed.

People compare this author to Stephen King, but I must clarify that he is not Stephen King, but he can write well in his own style, create complex characters, and is fantastic at world-building.

The story may seem slow to action-oriented readers, but what is happening is that you are being introduced to the characters and receiving minute-by-minute commentary from them as they progress. The beginning is fast but slows down, then it picks up speed again until you reach the amazing ending, and I believe many readers will be divided as to whether it was great or not. But it was incredible for me.

Finally, I must admit that it was a little disappointing, and I'm not sure why. Maybe I was expecting too much, or the never-ending talks made it a little slower for my taste because I don't like fillers in anything just to make it longer, but I can understand talks that are actually informative, and this book was filled with those talks, but I was still unhappy about some things. It's still a fantastic read, but don't go in with high hopes or you'll be disappointed.

If you just start reading without thinking about who wrote it and wait for a "loud bang at the door," you'll be in a fast-paced survival situation, which is exactly what I look for in a book like this. Why not give it a shot? The book is only about 300 pages long and is a quick read.


Synopsis:

“If you've ever been in a remote area when something terrible goes wrong, then you know the fear of utter helplessness. Mosquito Man nails this. A superbly crafted psychological thriller." (New York Journal of Books)

From USA Today and number-one Amazon best-selling author Jeremy Bates comes the first book in the all-new World's Scariest Legends series.

After a woman bangs at the door in the middle of the night and promptly dies from her injury, a couple's remote cabin getaway becomes a psychological night of terror as they are hunted by an unknown assailant. Now they must go far beyond what they thought themselves capable of if they hope to save their young children and survive until morning.”

The Girl With All the Gifts

The Girl With All the Gifts

Published: June 2014

Author: M. R. Carey (Mike Carey)

Part of: Girl With All The Gifts (2 books)

Genres: Action, Dystopian, Fantasy, Fiction, Horror, Movie Tie-In, Post-Apocalyptic, Science Fiction, Supernatural, Survival, Suspense, Thriller, Zombies


Check the summary of this book here:



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.”
