Book Reviews of The Hunger
Book Review: Very, very sick and degrading book
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is a true sickie. We're not talking about vampire existentialism a la Anne Rice; we're talking about hardcore nasty, short, and brutish nihilism of a depth unlike anything I've ever seen. Read at your own peril.Book Review: Classic Horror
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the best of the genre. It was around long before Anne Rice became a household name, and inspired one of the biggest cult films of the 80's. The story is supurb, and the plot shifts between the eternal life of Miriam Blaylock and her quickly dying present love, John. Underneath the horror is a love story. What does it mean to live forever? What does it mean to taste eternity, but never have it? What is life, and what is death...? If you have read Rice's mainstream vampire stories with any interest, you should love The Hunger.
