Great Characters

The problem with most contemporary horror is the absence of realistic characters with whom the reader can identify. One author who shall remain nameless always has main characters who are sex-obsessed simpletons, one has every character be an unbelivable action hero. But Little's characters are always quietly believable, with vivid internal lives. We get to know these people, and we care about them. Often, they remind us of people we know. THE WALKING is no exception. Miles Huerdeen has a stereotypical job but is anything but stereotypical. Even the way Little describes the detective agency at which he works is original. And his relationship with his father and his ex-wife ring very true to me as someone who's been there. Couple this with astounding imagery and a plot that unfolds slowly and carefully (although too many jerks have given it away here), and you have the best horror novel I've read all year.

Bentley's Best

Wow! This was a sursprise. My friend Pam kept telling me to read this & I kept putting it off. I didn't think it was going to be very good. I thought it might be lame. I was wrong. I loved this book. It keeps the reader wanting to find out why these people are still walking. This is a true page turner. Loved the story as well as the characters. If you like King & Koontz,then you're going to LOVE Bentley!!!! I went out & bought 3 more books by him. Happy Haunting.

Bentley Is The Best!

Bentley Little is by far the best horror novelist in my opinion. Each one of his books get better and better. "The Walking" is certainly no exception. Mr. Little takes readers on an 100 year adventure. An evil force is murdering men all across the country who worked on a dam ten years ago. The dam accidently overflowed and the community of "witches," below the damn, were killed. Now one witch is getting revenge, by killing her victims one by one, and making them WALK for her. If you like horror novels, then I strongly suggest Bentley Little.

A must even for those who do not like Horror...

If you think you don't like "horror" or "supernatural" books, read the first 8 pages of this book. If you can put it down after that, you've got more willpower than I did. But DON'T start reading this one unless you're willing to read it all. You will not want to put it down. The characters, the story and the suspense (who ARE the walking? Why are they acting as they do?) will keep you riveted to every page. Little is an absolute master of the genre, who has even gotten raves from Stephen King (no slouch himself).
