Little Brothers [Paperback]

Rick Hautala (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 1988

It has been five years since Kip Howard saw his mother killed horribly by a blur of “little brown things.” Five years of nightmares and a terror of dark places. Five years of struggling to overcome what must have been just his imagination...
But the “untcigahunk”—the Indian word for “little brothers”—are no one’s imagination. Hideous forest creatures who feed every five years on human flesh, the little brothers are about to emerge from underground once again.
Only this time, there will be no escape for the young boy who witnessed their last feast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary 70's style nature run amuck with a twist ...FUN, November 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Brothers (Paperback)

I never heard of Rick Hautala before, and I have a huge collection of horror novels...go figure?. I really like the straight forward clear writing style, the suspense kept me glued to the pages to the very end and above all "LITTE BROTHERS" is scary, really scary! I'm a sucker for anything with a monster in it and this book delivered more than it's share of them. I have recently purchased every Hautala book I can find...I am now currently reading Bedbugs and I love it!!! Finally... an author that tells a story without getting bogged down in excessive plot twists, with redneck blue coller characters, countless pages of descriptions (KING), or trying to be too literary that it puts you to sleep(STRAUB), so disposable, commercial and predictable(KOONTZ), cheap porn(LAYMON), Mr. Hautala is none of the above, he's better and I'm glad he's still around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Brothers offers big scares, May 12, 2000

This review is from: Little Brothers (Paperback)

This is my all time favorite Hautala novel. A little boy sees his mother killed by 'little brothers' that live in underground tunnels that criss cross his hometown. Now the monsters want him as well. Of course, being a Hautala novel, there is a lot more going on in the tightly wound plot than first meets the eye. The reader of this book is in for a real treat. Recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT A MASTERPIECE, BUT NOT BAD, December 10, 2006

This review is from: Little Brothers (Paperback)

Every 5 years creatures emerge from an underground cavern to feed. It just so happens that 5 years ago Kip witnessed his mother being eaten by the beasties and as if the psychological damage wasn't enough now they're after him. True, I was hoping for a siege on the town with the creatures eventually running rampant everywhere so it was a bit of a letdown when there were only a few victims/attacks. And even though 2 people (one being a young teen) taking on the entire nest of extremely lethal creatures is a little hard to swallow and slightly took me out of the story I still liked it overall and plan on giving it a few more re-reads in the future. It's the first book I've read where one part actually gave me the creeps.
