Winner of the Beginnings of Horror Award! The ancient Cherokees knew him as "Untsaiyi", or Brass, because of his metallic skin. He was one of the old ones, the original beings who lived long before man walked the earth. And he would live forever. He cared nothing for humans, though he could take their form--or virtually any form--at will. For untold centuries the world has been free of his deadly games, but now Brass is back among us and no one who sees him will ever be the same--if they survive at all.

Pulp horror lives...!,
This review is from: Brass (Mass Market Paperback)
My thoughts on this novel are as follows: It's a damn good read! Fast from the beginning to the end... non-stop-in-your-face-supernatural- indian-PULP-horror... key word being PULP! Though not as good as John Shirley's novel "Wetbones" or his classic "Cellars"... "Brass" is somewhere in the neighborhood... Don't be afraid to set aside the King and Koontz, I recommend you check this one out... It's a trip worth taking...

Highly Entertaining, Formulaic Monster Novel, A Great Snack!,
By
This review is from: Brass (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is what a monster novel should be. Sure it's formulaic, sure it reads more like a novella than a novel, but so what? The most important factor to any book such as this is that it is entertaining. Brass was that and much more. It kinda played out like the blueprint for a monster movie (I hope it was!) Really cool death scenes with short, concise text kept the action moving and all though the reader can pretty much figure out how this one is going to end it is never disappointing! If you look for a lot of seriousness or an overbearing literary tone in horror novels then you probably should check out other genres, if you love monsters and fables go buy this book now!

Great combination of ancient myth and modern horror!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brass (Mass Market Paperback)
Really enjoyed this modern story of a prehistoric Cherokee legend come to life. Conley manages to stay true to the ancient myth even though placing it in the modern world. How would a prehistoric shapechanging demonic gambler react to Las Vegas? (He loved it), or to an IRS man who wanted a share of his winnings? (My favorite scene) This novel is one of those can't-put-down-once-you -start books. Conley, a Cherokee author, has combined pure horrific entertainment with authentic Cherokee lore in this work. And, like any good horror writer, he leaves the door open for a sequel!
