Like classic 80s horror movies, those early 90s mainstream horror paperbacks have a unique feel to them. This book embodies that iconic style, which I could slip right back into, unlike my clothes (and style) from that time period. Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and John Saul being my middle school reading staples.
The Revelation is a quick and dirty battle of good and evil. There isn’t a ton of in-depth character development and I didn’t feel like all of the loose ends were wrapped up, but it was a fun ride nevertheless. By no means Jack Ketchum level gore, but I could see a few of the scenes as “controversial” for back then.
This book is the equivalent of the fun flick you pick out at Blockbuster because the cover looks fun and you want to eat some popcorn with your friends. It isn’t shaking up your top 5, but you aren’t upset it happened. Much lighter than the grief horror I normally choose to “enjoy.”
