BOOK REVIEW FOR BRIAN KEENE'S, GHOULS
BY MICHAEL TIMLIN

 

This was an easy book to read. It is your classic horror story with a little twist. It revolves around three boys. One has an abusive father, one an incestuous mother, the other; the perfect family life. These three boys enjoy the summer months playing in the local cemetery. Where they have made an underground fort. But then the town starts missing women one of whom is the daughter of the local priest.
 This is the only difference I found in this story from any other horror story out there. Once you get past the three boys screwed up lives, it's the same old story. The evil character gets killed and the girl is rescued. So if you're seeking a book based on blood, guts and sex, Ghoul is one you may wish to read; however if you are looking for something new and surprising I wouldn't suggest it.  2 - Stars

About the book:

1984. The first day of summer vacation. Twelve-year-old Timmy Graco and his best friends, Doug and Barry, are looking forward to three months of riding their bikes, exploring the forest, playing Atari, and reading comic books in their clubhouse. But before the summer is over, they'll learn about love...and loss...and death...and monsters.
