Search - Revelation

If you've never read Bentley Little before and new to macabre genre (horrific and gruesome), then you're in for a ride! In this tale, a sleepy town is shaken up by churches being desecrated and little demons killing people. Toss in zombie babies and a creepy rogue pastor. As with most Bentley Little novels, this one ends with a big bloody showdown. A quick and easy read.

Excellent horror. Stayed up half the night to finish this one. The horror and terror just doesn't stop. It's a must read for horror fans.

Any fan of old school Stephen King will LOVE this author!!

If you like weird creepy reading this is the one for you. I had a hard time putting this down but I like horror books that are "different". I liked the fact that there were a lot of interesting characters in the book and what happened to each character was talked about in depth. Good book!

I was introduced to Bentley Little by a fellow bibliophile that knew how much I loved a good horror story. She told me that Little would give Stephen King nightmares.

I don't know if that's true... but Bentley Little does give me nightmares. I never thought I'd find myself saying that a book was too gruesome or too frightening.... but those are the words I'd choose when describing "The Revelation." And frankly, the other three Little novels I read this year, all of which are currently listed on PaperbackSwap.com because they make my bookshelf feel dirty.

Without giving much of anything away, I can tell you that this particular award-winning novel includes reanimated dead zombie babies, desecrated churches and other little surprises too gross to actually write about here. It takes a lot to disgust me, but this book did it. If you are truly a hard-core horror lover, this book is for you. Little is masterful when it comes to scaring readers and grossing them out. The writing is good. But I guess I'm too old for this kind of storytelling anymore. I actually felt relieved when I could close this book for good and put it away, and that's not how I like to end a story. Read at your own risk.

My first read by Bentley Little - it will not be my last! While the book is in no way "deep" reading, it is pure horror-fun. I brought it on a flight with me and it was able to keep me distracted the entire time (a daunting task!)
