I listened to half of this book via Scribd but the audiobook stopped working, and they no longer granted me access to finish it, so I cancelled my membership.
Read the rest via ebook rather slowly since September 2020. Life got busy with my debut book.
This is my first Bentley Little novel, and The Revelation was his first novel too. I liked it, but wish he would flesh out his characters better. Not a fan of his prolixity whereby a better writer, like Stephen King, could get the meaning across in half the word count. Some plot points were just ridiculous too.
With that being said, I’m not deterred from trying another Bentley Little book. I’d really like to try The Mailman or The Store. I also own a paperback of The Collection. We’ll see.

Time again for Horror October! I just wish I could read a little faster so I could get through more books! This, now the third Little book I've read, really shows how goofy horror can be at times. The story line is reminiscent of the old "Goulies" movies, where small creatures attack humans. Not really all that scary, and just a little bit of gore to add to the absurdity. There are many little issues (for example in the desecration of a church one of the characters "knows" that the feces spread around the church is human feces, and in another instant one of the characters "knows" that a splash of blood is human blood, but these are just slight little things, to the average Leisure horror reader. If you're looking for semi-serious, really quick horror, pick up this one. Not one of Little's best however, even out of the three that I've read by him.
