Well, as the title suggests, I am only just under 100 pages through this book, and I am utterly awe-struck by the whole affair.
This books out-grosses anything that any other horror author I have ever read has(and probably ever WILL) write.

Nothing compares to the sheer sickness of this book, it contains everything you could ask for - gore,sex,incest, horror, etc.

Read it now!

David Martin treads on the gory turf of writers like Richard Laymon and Rex Miller with his mid-90's book entitled "Bring Me Children". It is a moderately interesting tale about a number of misguided characters. A variety of personalities are introduced stretching from a TV anchorman searching for his lost "touch" to a doctor who's once honorable intentions have turned horribly wrong to a woman trying to regain what's left of her pride and dignity.

This is not a book for the faint of heart. It has many scenes containing gratuitous violence and sex. It's even hard to root for any of the characters because of their many flaws and foibles. Some are really dispicable! (How about a 500-pound deputy sheriff who as warped as last year's plywood?) Perhaps the most honorable individual is the most misunderstood person of all - the dwarf who lives in the woods.

Sounds bizarre? It definitely is! I can't say that I disliked the book because it was action-filled. It's just that it was so uneven and predictable in places, especially in the final scene. But, don't take my word for it. If you like strange stories, with a LOT of strange people, you'll probably really "go" for this tale.

For a better effort by David Martin, however, I enthusiastically recommend his book, "Tap, Tap".
