This is a book of man verses monster.During the mother of all blizzards, these monsters (created by toxic waste) come out to hunt the residents of the local town. It's up to the main character to go and hunt down these monsters and kill them in order to protect his wife and children, his friends and his neighbours. The book is very well written, and left me on the edge of my chair on many occasions. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I received this book from a librarything.com giveaway.I enjoyed this book! There were a lot of different characters, but the story line kept them in your mind so it was easy to remember who was who. This is the kind of genre of book that I read quite often. I thought he did a very good job with keeping it moving while throwing in some things that made you wonder if that was really what you read and happened. The only part I didn't enjoy was when the book came to an end. I thought it was too quick of an ending. I wanted more. Maybe Mr. Lamberson will come out with a sequel to this. Great book! Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. This is a very good man vs. nature/monster/man's folly story. While I would have liked to see some things fleshed out a bit, like the mutant animals, all in all I think Lamberson hits the mark. The main characters are fairly well fleshed out, while the supporting characters get enough time so the reader knows enough about them to be satisfied. There is plenty of good action, horror, and gore. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. While the main plot - mutants created by toxic waste - is not really new, the setting of 'Black Creek' during a whiteout blizzard was scary as hell. For a long part of the story, the snow storm is the only enemy the people living in the Black Creek area have to face, and it's a really mean one. The author did a great job bringing it to live, making me shiver to the bone just reading about and imagining it.The invasion of the long forgotten underground inhabitants seemed just like the icing on the cake, so to speak, adding another layer of horror to make this book a perfect read. But the real horror definitely was the snow blizzard - without it this would have been just another variation of the mutant creature theme, something like Silent Hill during bad weather. The author did a great job bringing his characters to life and creating an ever-present intimidating atmosphere that doesn't allow anyone to take a breath, not even the reader. I recommend reading this not only with the lights on, but the thermostat as well. (I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Auszeichnungen
In 1979, the US government relocated more than eight hundred families from Love Canal, New York, after decades of toxic contamination. Not all of the residents left: some remained in their homes on the outskirts of the disaster area. Others went underground. Hiding. Changing. Breeding. Almost four decades later, Love Canal has been renamed Black Creek Village and restored for inhabitation. The residents there and on neighboring Cayuga Island remember the tragedy of Love Canal but have no knowledge of the monsters living below the surface. When the worst snowstorm in forty years isolates all of western New York, the forgotten inhabitants of Love Canal emerge from hiding to reclaim what once belonged to them. And they are hungry.
