Book Review: “The Monster Collection” (Audiobook)

Out of the three books presented in this audio collection, I’d previously read two. For those, it was interesting to revisit these books in audio form. For the other, it was great to experience it for the first time.

The Monster Collection presents three classics of the horror genre. The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Frankenstein, and Dracula are all contained in this 30-hour plus audiobook.

Jason Cavallaro Presents: My Favorite Monster Books

It's Monster Month here at Dead Head Reviews, and what better way to celebrate than spending more money on books?

I've compiled a list of my favorite monster books here, but I've skipped the ones that you've already heard of (or read already): Dracula, I am Legend, Jaws, The Rising, The Wolf's Hour, Interview with the Vampire, Frankenstein, etc..

This is in no way a comprehensive list. Hurricane Rita drowned all of my books in 2005, so it's difficult for me to even formulate a list like this without having those ten years’ worth of books to refer back to. Nevertheless, I hope I can point you to at least one monster novel that you weren't aware of and could possibly enjoy! Let’s get started.

Book Review: Under Her Black Wings, Anthology by Kandisha Press

A funny idea comes to mind when thinking of female monsters. Well actually, the idea is more about the reverse of that. I kind of chuckle at the idea of how a male monster has to be justified with a glamour, mind control, magical powers of persuasion. That's how they get their female prey back to their lair. But women monsters? Nah, they don't need any of that because us men will walk right into their traps smiling the whole way, until it's too late.

I don't really think I can say it better than Christy Aldridge does on page 135…

Book Review: Butchers by Todd Sullivan

Butchers drops you into a fully developed vampiric society in South Korea. For me, it felt like there is a grander world here, but I was only getting the opportunity to experience a very small part of it. This novella represents a single story from this vast world. This was my first experience with Todd, I enjoyed his style and flare for story-telling.

Yes, I am on record stating that I am not a big fan of vampire fiction. That being said, the novella format, the quick chapters, Todd's talent, and the freshness of a story in South Korea kept me enthralled.

Book Review: The Raven by Jonathan Janz

I attended a Janz reading at the Scares That Care Con, where he read a chapter from a forthcoming novel.  His intense and theatrical reading was brilliant and I couldn't wait to read the book.  Well, THIS is that book.  I was even lucky enough to get it early (thanks Flame Tree!).  I would really love to tell you the premise of this one (it's killer) but I pride myself on my non-spoiler reviews, so I won't.  Put it this way.  If you're a fan of his work, you will see traces of Wolfland and Savage Species here, via some really intense action sequences.  This was the strength of the novel.
