Sixteen-year-old Frankie Budge—aspiring writer, indifferent student, offbeat loner—is determined to make it through yet another summer in Coalfield, Tennessee, when she meets Zeke, a talented artist who has just moved into his grandmother’s house and who is as awkward as Frankie is. Romantic and creative sparks begin to fly, and when the two jointly make an unsigned poster, shot through with an enigmatic phrase, it becomes unforgettable to anyone who sees it. The edge is a shantytown filled with gold seekers. We are fugitives, and the law is skinny with hunger for us.

It’s More Than Expected
Revisado: 03-10-24
Yes, this is a coming of age novel. But if that’s all you expect, your trajectory will be far too low. It’s about what it means to create art. It’s about what drives something to “go viral.” It’s about the meaning of life. It’s truly outside the norm. If you enjoy stories that are rare, this is made for you. I recommend.

Where the cream of humanity has left for the outworlds, leaving the rest behind; where genetically redesigned T-rexes have supplanted pit bulls; population control measures have created an underclass of Urchins, unlicensed children who have no rights - not even the right to exist; where wireheads with chips in their brains live vicariously through the downloaded experiences of others; and where the UN has been turned into a brothel known as Dydeetown, peopled by clones of famous personalities from history and entertainment.

I’m a long time fan of F. Paul Wilson, but this is different from my favorite Repairman Jack genre. Nonetheless, I loved this. It stands up to his best work.

On a desolate beach in far northern Scotland, the winter storms have been washing up all manner of things since time began. But buried in the centre of one smaller iceberg is a shard of ancient Viking pottery telling a partial tale of a hidden mysterious island beyond the ice and mist, that was home to a great treasure and even greater horrors. Thawing in the same block of ice was a rotting flap of skin that refused to be identified but had similar skin patterns to a creature not seen for 100 million years.

Nothing Else Quite Like It
Revisado: 01-10-16
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I'd recommend this to anyone who has ever enjoyed any vampire story. Honestly, I read this book about a quarter century ago. I got hooked and read through about 10 or 11 of the books in this series over the course of about a decade. I stopped when I got too busy to read and started listening to audio books. I've asked for Audible to get this series, multiple times. When it finally appeared, I grabbed it. Now I'm waiting with the hope that the rest of the books in the series will appear here.
What other book might you compare Necroscope to and why?
There IS no other book that comes close. This truly is the most imaginative twist on the vampire genre that I've ever found.
Which scene was your favorite?
The best part? I don't know. There are so many parts that are great, and I wouldn't want to name one, for fear of it being a spoiler.
Any additional comments?
This is not only an original plot, it has a few twists and turns, the book is extremely well written, and even the narrator is fabulous.

Yes. Bought it on sale and had low expectations. I found myself really enjoying it.

Wake me when something happens
Revisado: 04-25-08
I love this genre. Loved Ben Bova's story of Mars. Bought this because it was a Nebula Award winner. Must be good, right? This story went nowhere. It was a longwinded description of people living on Mars. Nothing much happened, except for a little anti-terraforming plot that was anti-climactic. There wasn't even much in the way of character development in all those hours of nothing.
