‘The Night Eternal’ by Guillermo Del Toro: C (70%) – Aggregate Book Review
Average: 70%
A fitting end to this series of vampire novels, though a few bloggers were upset with the larger role God played in this novel and some annoying characters.
‘The Night Strangers’ by Chris Bohjalian: B (77%) – Aggregate Book Review
Above Average: 77%
A very good horror story when it sticks to the ghosts, but it when goes into the wider range of a possible neighborhood conspiracy, it starts to lose focus a bit.
‘Damned’ by Chuck Palahniuk: F (29%) – Aggregate Book Review
Avoid: 29%
Creative and appropriately disgusting descriptions are overshadowed by lack of character development, ridiculous lines, and an abrupt and unsatisfying ending. Better than recent Palahniuk, but far from his best work.
‘Zone One’ by Colson Whitehead: B (80%) – Aggregate Book Review
Above Average: 80%
As much of a social satire as a zombie story, some critics expressed hope at a more engaging narrative and sympathetic protagonist, but overall it is an excellent book for what it is – an odd hybrid of genre and literary fiction.
