Book Reviews of Carrion Comfort
Book Review: Brilliant and inventive horror epic!
Summary: 5 Stars
Dan Simmons is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to writing fiction. He is also, I'm happy to report, a genuine master of each. From the mind-blowing SF of his 'Hyperion Cantos' to the small-town nostalgia (and horror) of 'Summer of Night; from the chaos theory mathematics of 'The Hollow Man' to the 'psycho-analysis' of a retired astronaut in 'Phases of Gravity'; from a original modern twist on the vampire myth in 'Children of the Night' to the taut historical thriller of 'The Crook Factory', Dan Simmons has it all.'Carrion Comfort' is no exception to his genre-breaking nature. Simmons single-handedly redefines the epic horror novel, so long the sole territory of authors such as Stephen King and Dean Koontz.
This is a very gripping tale, and very surpising. Just when you think you have everything sorted in your mind Simmons pulls the rug from under you and sends you well and truly spinning. It is a high recommendation indeed when you can say of a novel that spans nearly to 1,000 pages that you wished it were longer. (Simmons' own 'Hyperion Cantos' sequence of SF novels exceeds 2,400 pages over 4 volumes and the same wish is also true of that tale.)
This is a true horror classic in every sense of the word. I just wish that Dan Simmons got the recognition that he so rightly deserves in terms of worldwide sales.
