5.0 out of 5 stars A very good read, July 11, 2002

Brian Knight is a very good writer. No wonder I should get a very good read out of this book. Dragonfly pulls no punches. It has points to make, forces you to think, while at the same time is entertaining as hell. I've always been a horror fan but have grown tired of a lot of what is being released these days. Dragonfly is refreshing. A helpful reminder for why I love the genre in the first place. I look forward to seeing more from this man in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow what a great book, May 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Dragonfly (Paperback)

after reading this book it makes me wonder about the type of person the author is. WOW... first he plunks those heart strings to grab you and hold on, then scares the bejeebers out of you... wow, this author is amazing. Expect great things to come from this author, is it any wonder his name falls between King and Koontz.... This guy is great and I expect him to be on the best sellers list with both of these guys.

Brian has a way of grabbing and holding your attention, even if you don't like horror fiction. I don't, but I liked Dragonfly. This is a composite of short stories, with enough theme and character variety to keep everything fresh and me looking forward to the next story. Some of the stories deal with hard issues, ie. child abuse, rape, violence against women. The issues aren't sugar-coated, or swept aside. I liked how he approached hard issues and how his characters dealt with them. Other stories are there just to scare you and make you wonder what goes on in the mind of a horror writer. Definitely worth a read if you're into horror.
