Search - The Cellar (Beast House Chronicles, Bk 1)

This book was well written, and keeps you wondering, and wanting to know what happens; BUT!! I will be the first to meantion the fact that this book has "children RAPE!!!" in it. An 8 year old girl RAPPED!! and not just once either.

The story about the Beast House was great, the story about the child being rapped Sucked *you know what* and the story that involved with the main characters were good too; but why did he have to ruin it with the children rape?! *sigh*

This book is worth reading if you can over look the nasty part of it; but it's horriable at the same time because of it... I'm not keeping the book, but the story of the actual Beast House was good and is currently keeping from the basement... chilly, sickening, and mysterious horror; really wished he left the part out with the children:(

This was a very good read. It was a page turner and was written very descriptive. This was a new author for me and now I will be looking for more of his books. There is one caution though. There are very descriptive sexual scenes.

If you are looking just at the plot of the book, I'm a big fan of Laymon's scary ideas. The premise of this book is true horror. I really do think his writing style, though, leaves quite a bit to be desired. The characters are so one dimensional. And for those who would say, "but it's just a fun horror book," look at something like The Taking by Dean Koontz or pretty much any Stephen King. You get totally terrifying reads AND really thoroughly flushed out characters who you identify with. I didn't care what happened to Jud, Donna, and Sandy in this. Nice for a good scare though.

This was the first of his books for me. Besides the child being assaulted, this book was excellent! All the way to the ending. Wish he would of kept the child out of it but the concept was awesome!

This was a great book, finished it in 1 day. It does have some gut wrenching things, and if your able to overlook them your in for a great read! I cannot wait to read the rest of this series!

I was so disgusted with the relatively graphic child-rape scene early on in the book that I couldn't finish reading it.
