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.”

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 . . .”
