Book Reviews of The Halloween Man
Book Review: Halloween Man's a Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Halloween Man by Douglas Clegg is now practically a classic. I read it when it first came out, and it has stuck with me since then.If you want mindless horror, find another writer. Clegg has a lot on his mind and a lot going on in that wild imagination of his, and Halloween Man casts a dark spell on the reader.
It starts like a mystery and then turns into a thriller and a true horror story. I can't recommend this one highly enough. But I will try.
Get it, read it, enjoy it.
Book Review: Highly recommended for horror fans.
Summary: 5 Stars
Doug Clegg's lastest offering into the horror market is truly amazing. This book far surpasses anything by Straub or King. The character of Stony Crawford and his mythic quest to discovery of his own identity and to the resolution of the heroic and horrific journey make for a rollercoaster read. I am still shivering at the imagery and power of Clegg's work. This is his finest book so far.Michelle Leasure-Firesheets nxqz66e@prodigy.com
Book Review: Horror fiction at its best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Doug Clegg fails to dissappoint this long time lover of all things horror. Clegg's meditations on the duality of love vs evil is a powerful notion. Highly reccommended.Book Review: I could not put Halloween Man down!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wild! This story is so deep and fast-paced but really easy going and a slow build to the horror that I was surprised that I liked it since I'm not always such a big horror fan (I still read Stephen king and Dean Koontz and now Bentley little and DEFINITELY Douglas Clegg!!!) I would not have bought this if I wasn't really into Mr Clegg because of his email novel Naomi that I've been getting into (a great ghost-witch story!) I ordered Halloween Man and resisted it for a while too because of the title but once I started it it was like slam!!! I loved it!The basic story is a man grew up in this New England town full of all these unsaid things, mainly concerning something he couldnt understand as a little kid. When he falls madly in love with this girl, theyre going to run off together and get married because she may be pregnant, but all these dark secrets in this little town just build up and something truly terrifying happens. And then it gets more terrifying and more terrifying, until its like this door opened on all this horror. Its really great reading. It was like when I read The Shining by Stephen King for the first time and I just got these shivers while I turned the pages.
So I found in a used bookstore a copy of Mr Cleggs early novel Goat Dance and despite ITS bizzarre title, its a really great story too! Now my goal is to findm all of his books and just make sure Ive read them all.
But Halloween Mans got to be one of the best horror novels Ive read in a long long time!
Book Review: I read better.
Summary: 2 Stars
While I read the book I didn't like all the stupid curseing. I mean curses aren't that bad, but when you go overboard with them, (As they did)it takes away from the story a bit.
