5.0 out of 5 stars If you like short stories, here's your book, February 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Christopher Pikes Tales of Terror (Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm extremely familiar with the author's work and I think these short stories are some of his best, riveled only by those he composed for the "Midnight Club." The first story, about a boy who thinks he's dreaming when he's really not, is demented and fun. The second, a sequel to his book "Master of Murder," is a neat twist on the first book. The third, a compelling and thought provoking glimse of future life, left me in tears. The fourth is a wildly futuristic story that speaks about the implications of present actions and how they affect the future in the long run. The fifth is a wicked story of a boy who decides to murder his girl friend. Finally, the sixth is a parody on an experience the author actually had. Read the book! The stories are short, fun and easy to understand!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The ONLY must-have for Christopher Pike fans, June 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Christopher Pikes Tales of Terror (Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

A series of short stories is the basic idea here. But what makes it a need for Pike fans is the commentary. Christopher Pike FINALLY reveals pieces of his life to us before each short story. He even answers the most common question: "Mr. Pike, where do you get your ideas from?" Go for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Humor. Horror. Everything melted for Teens. One Helluva book, March 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Christopher Pikes Tales of Terror (Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

THer is this one story about 4 teenagers from 20,000 in the future when they decide to visit present day humans of the 20th century. They are named 11, 33, 66, 99 and come into bodies of 4 teenagers. It talkes in teen language, like "getting laid" and "she got screwed" and "did you wear a condom" ...I can't describe in words, they are too funny to do so. It has a huge amount of humor in this story and its hard not to laugh. Along with this story is a whole lot of other interesting things too good to put down. I ain't kiddin' ya one whole bit.
