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.

Don't read this with the lights off!! It is about strange things going on in a small town in Arizona. Bentley Little did a terrific job of terror with this one!

I love anything Bentley Little writes and this book was no exception. I couldn't put it down! Gave me the look over my shoulder willies when I was reading it at night. I give it 5 stars!!

Bentley Little is great. He has a wild sense of humor, mixed with a lot of suspense.

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!)

This was probably my favorite Bentley Little book so far. If you love zombies and you love babies, how could you not love a demented story about zombie babies. It was really a freaky book.

Not Too bad, Started out slow, Silly ending
