Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The favorite picnic spot of a small New York town is possessed by an inscrutable evil spirit; a Literary Guild selection.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From Library Journal

A small town in the Adirondacks becomes a beachhead for an invasion of large, insect-like creatures that first seduce and then sadistically absorb the native population. Brian and Loi Kelly become aware of the unearthly invasion and take the lead in fighting the creatures and warning their neighbors. Brian feels responsible for the death and destruction because his physics research laid the groundwork for the onslaught. This audiobook is a work of graphic and sensationalized (however imaginative) violence bereft of any logical or believable context. Reader Buck Schirner's tendency to overdramatize, especially during the most violent passages, exacerbates the ludicrous text. This is not Strieber's best work. Not recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably bad, Mar 21 2004
By William J. Tychonievich (Taiwan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Forbidden Zone (Library Binding)
Whitley Strieber has written some very intelligent, scary, thought-provoking stuff -- and this ain't it. It tries to be, by turns, sexy, scary, and really really gross, and fails miserably on all counts (well, it does manage to be pretty gross). There are no believable characters, the horror is too over-the-top and cartoonish to be scary, and the plot is beyond stupid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Silly monster novel entertains, Jun 2 2000
By Chadwick H. Saxelid "Bookworm" (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Forbidden Zone (Paperback)
This book has more in common with John Carpenter's version of The Thing than it does with H.P. Lovecraft's classic mythos stories. Some strange creature zaps people with a hypnotic light and takes over their bodies, turning them into shape shifting things. The handful of survivors try to escape a world that is being rapidly invaded and changed. Action packed and fun on its own terms, nonetheless the novel suffers from a certain lack of depth.

1.0 out of 5 stars Give this one a miss, Nov 19 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Forbidden Zone (Paperback)
It's not often that I run across a book so terrible that I can't finish it, but this was certainly one of them! The plot was given away almost from the beginning, and the characters were strictly two-dimensional. I found the dialouge irritating and the actions of the main characters unbelievable. I haven't read any other books by this author, and now I probably won't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible!
I can't believe the low ratings this book is getting. This is one of Strieber's best books, and it is definetly one of the best horror stories out there. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars A weak novel
It could have been a great book. The plot is there. A fitting setting is there, too. But the the author forgot to form credible characters. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible
One of the worst books I've ever (tried to) read. Had to skip to the end, and even then it wasn't worth the time commitment.

2.0 out of 5 stars Steibner has written a horror movie.
With this book Strieber shows his background in film by writing something that can best be described as a novelization of a bad 50's monster movie, with the characteristic lack of... Read more
