.A Certain Slant of Light
City Travel Guides > Books > Horror
by: Laura Whitcomb

September 21, 2005
I've spent the last week in a lovely stupor while reading this book. The author takes the reader, along with Helen, James, Billy & Jenny, from the lightest gossamer of an idea to feeling the weight of the world (current, past and next) in complicated turns but never loses the simple thread. Amazing. Tagged as "Young Adult" A Certain Slant of Light is absolutely worthy of adult readership...and those who pick it up will ponder how their own form moves through the world and the other souls around them. - Laurel825

.Unwind
City Travel Guides > Books > Horror
by: Neal Shusterman

November 06, 2007
Connor, Risa and Lev come from different places and sittuations, but they're all united when it comes to being Unwinds. This book takes you to a future where life becomes less valuable and new rules are stated, and these three kids more grow, and try to survive, through a society that has marked them for life (or atleast until they're 18).

Neal Shusterman's book has become one fo my favorites, I really didn't want it to end, I cared too much about the characters. This is a story that will be hard to forget and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

.Blood and Chocolate
City Travel Guides > Books > Horror
by: Annette Curtis Klause

September 07, 1999
I think this is a good under rated book for teens who are into dark fantasy and romance like Twilight. The story is centered around Vivian, who lives with her werewolf clan while they try to coexist with humans. It shows the character change as Vivian goes from hating and feeling superior to humans and then leveling with them.

This may just be the nerd in me speaking but I find werewolf novels to have less logic problems than vampire novels. For example - in a vampire novel, what would happen if a vampire sucked another vampire's blood? Or what about someone with a blood-related disease? So I tend to prefer werewolves in the long run.

I know the ending is rather controversial with people simply because it fails to be cliched. The ... Read More:

.What Happened to Cass McBride?
City Travel Guides > Books > Horror
by: Gail Giles

May 01, 2007
It's not a very deep story. I read it in one evening. It does have an interesting psycological twist and puts forth the truth that our words do hurt others and start a series of negative events. There is a fair level of morbidity to the story. I really don't see the need for the offensive language. It had every word that i don't want to hear or my kids to say. I know that the author thinks its probably pertinent to the story line, but it really could have been just as interesting without. i think that's a sign of a writer that is not very creative as evidenced by the shallowness of the story line--kids with abusive parents that act out. I threw it away and told my kids that it cussed all the way through.

.The Woman in Black: A Ghost Story
City Travel Guides > Books > Horror
by: Susan Hill

February 01, 2002
Anyone who enjoys a classic haunted house/ghost story tale in the old British tradition will love Susan Hill's, "The Woman In Black".

This story is all about atmosphere and not things jumping out at you or gory kill scenes. A young attorney is sent to a remote town in Northern England to go through the house of a recently deceased old woman who had been a long-time client of his law firm. Upon arriving in the town he finds that no one wants to talk about the Eel Marsh House or the late Mrs. Drablow. He can't even find anyone willing to assist him in going through the house in search of any legal paperwork. He soon finds out why as he is haunted by a strange locked nursery, the screams of a child sinking into the marsh behind the house and mysterious appearances ... Read More:

.In the Forests of the Night (Den of Shadows)
City Travel Guides > Books > Horror
by: Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

May 09, 2000
About a month ago I heard about this girl that at 24 is a ten times published author, who wrote this book when she was 13. Since then, I've read three of her books, and most likely by the end of the year I will have read them all.

With respect to this particular book, before I start taking it apart, let me say, I know that it is a million times easier to criticize than to create. I am reading her books on chronological order, thus, I haven't yet gotten to those she wrote after she finished high school, so, probably she has already improved her style, and matured as a writer. Even with this first book, it is more than evident she has talent and potential.

Now the story: A seventeen year old girl at the beginning of the eighteenth century gets transformed into a vampire ... Read More:

.Shadowland (The Mediator, Book 1)
City Travel Guides > Books > Horror
by: Meg Cabot

December 28, 2004
So, pretend you are a girl named Suze (short for Susannah) and ever since you have been a little girl, you were a Mediator. (That means that you can talk to ghosts.)
You have lived your whole life (up until 15) knowing this, and you are starting to get sick of ghosts asking you to do favors for them, people thinking that you are crazy, talking to people who aren't there, and getting caught by the police for breaking and entering because "you were trying to stop a ghost murder." And to make it even weirder, your dead dad, who has been dead for quite some time now, pops up at random times to try and scare you. That is Susannah Simon's life. Enter a move to Florida, a new family, (new stepbrothers and a step dad,) and a new room that comes with (what else!) a male ghost named Jessie!!

A great book!! Super sexy, and well written. A fantastic romance/vampire book. There is so much tension between the girl and the vamp, it drives you nuts (in a good way). Great book for all kinds of people.
