Great Entertainment,
By "urthfireair" (St. Louis Park, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Island Life (Paperback)
by David WilbanksWilliam Meikle is a talented storyteller who'll keep you turning pages, with ISLAND LIFE's rousing narrative, in order to find out what happens next to his sympathetic characters. And he is equally skilled at producing smiles or dread in a reader (be wary halfway through this book if you're afraid of heights!). The story takes place on a foggy Scottish island where ancient evil erupts into the inhabitants slow-paced lives. Murders and disappearances perplex the characters who find out to their horror that they're dealing with terrible creatures and powers beyond imagining. Any novel that contains short chapters from the dog's point of view earns extra points with me. If this type of story sounds appealing, grab it. You're in capable hands.

An Island of Terror,
By Elena Dorothy Bowman (Chelmsford, MA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Island Life (Paperback)
When was the last time you listened to that little queasy feeling in the pit your stomach that told you not to go digging into places you really knew nothing about? The off-islanders in William Meikle's book, woven around a small, sparsely populated island in the Scottish Outer Hebrides, would have none of it. They paid little attention to the "ravings" of the old light-house keeper. He tried to warn them and the Islanders too, but no one would listen. His stories were old, whispered about centuries ago, when none would venture out into the black of night, but this was the 21st Century, and they were young, excited student archeologists from the mainland on their first dig. What was there to fear? And the Islanders? Well that was just old Tom, part of the island's folklore that brought in the Tourist trade. An "unholy mist" permeates the far end of the island. Unwittingly, as the young archeologists begin their excavation into a portentous knoll, they unleash the fury and devastation long imprisoned in the bowels of the mound bringing unimaginable horror to all within its grasp. As the mist slithers across this tiny island, engulfing all within its range, its dark shadows hide its carnivorous messengers of death and destruction, terrorizing even the most stalwart who ventured forth. William Meikle's characters jump off the pages at you. You know them. They are your neighbors, your friends and you worry for their safety. Island Life will keep you turning the pages and holding your breath.
