Loading ...They Thirst
by Robert McCammon
‘They Thirst’ is the tale of an already tarnished city being marked and tarnished by the forces of darkness. Life in LA is already brutal enough as it is, now things are about to get a lot worse. McCammon builds up tension and expectations through a series of ‘otherworldly incidents’ (the ransacking of a cemetery and mass disappearances amongst others) and it’s anyone’s guess as to whether something will happen or if the anticipation will be agonisingly dragged out just that little bit more.
Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review: From my bookshelf: ‘They Thirst’ – Robert McCammon..
I’m a huge fan of Robert McCammon. I’ve loved everything of his I’ve read. This, however is one I haven’t got around to reading yet. I would pick it up, as I own it, but right now I’m speeding through The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty!
Two other great McCammon horror novels are Swan Song and The Wolf’s Hour – he is a fantastic author, another who made the leap from horror to other facets of fiction, like Mystery and Crime – his most recent novels are detective novels (which incorporate horror and other genres) set in colonial America – brilliant stuff.
