erincolleen's review against another edition

Fun! But atypical Clegg, at least from what I've read. The Attraction has the feel of a summer horror flick--road trips, teenagers, stereotypes, crazy rednecks, and sex--as opposed to Clegg's more fantastic, atmospheric tales. It's a quick read and highly entertaining. The monster is memorable, and the book somehow reminded me of King's short story "Chattering Teeth." (If I'm recalling the name correctly. You know, the one with the salesman and his wind-up chompers.) Just expect popcorn, not a fine steak.

This is two short novellas in one. The first story is about a monster of Aztec lore that is a little happy with his razor claws. It chronicles the stupid kids that happen to release it.
The second story deals with dark magic relating to the occult. It is part of the "Harrow" series and is very heavily sexually laden. I guess I would have to put an age limit on it.
Both stories were very interesting and kept me turning pages.
