Narrative Supposing Books Fiends

Perhaps I was expecting a different kind of book...something a little more apocalyptic.

The characters are well written, however some are a little one dimensional. To be fair, the one dimensional characters are supporting characters. However, I felt that the Enid Walker character could have been fleshed out a little better.

The creatures central to the story, The Huldufolk, are intriguing and definitely the only truly original aspect of the book.

The non-linear story telling was handled well but it seemed to be abandoned quickly in the second half of the book.

Basically, the book starts out promising. I thought it would be similar to "Salem's Lot" or "They Thirst" (two better books than this one). However, it quickly turns into a "Slasher flick" kind of story only you have the Huldufolk instead of Jason or Freddy...as well as a much lower body count.

If you want a "TRUE" synopsis, it's this: A bunch of teenagers go exploring caves in a state park and get attacked by Huldufolk, who are kind of like vampires, only they steal skin instead of blood. The predictable stuff happens and the book ends. It's not bad for a quick read but don't expect to be blown away.

Appraise Based On Books Fiends

Like all other horror, the elements of a rainy night, camping in the forest, and another version of the vampire are all present here. I do like how every paragraph is written and the suspense.



This hardcover is copy 380 of 500 and is signed by John Farris and artist Phil Parks.

An excellent horror novel. Farris' writing is very strong. This is the first book I've read by him and I'm excited to read more of his work. This was pretty much a stellar big fat horror novel from the late 80s. Farris created something quite original here. Highly recommended for horror fans.

Librarian note:There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this nameAmerican writer and screenwriter of both adaptations of his own books (e.g. 'The Fury'), of the works of others (such as Alfred Bester's 'The Demolished Man') and original scripts. In 1973 he wrote and directed the film 'Dear Dead Delilah'. He has had several plays produced off-Broadway, and also paints and writes

4.6 stars!I'm a huge Farris fangirl. Fiends is my 2nd favorite Farris novel. The man has been writing quality horror since the late 1950's. Compulsory, essential addition to any horror collection.
