4.0 out of 5 stars DAS' BOOT meets DAWN OF THE DEAD, August 13, 2002

This review is from: Night Boat (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the second book by McCammon that I read, and again I'm please, ok this is fiction and it can be unbelieveable "SO WHAT" it is a story and a fast paced one at that.
A Nazi Sub rises to the surface after 40 years with the crew mummified and still living due to a VOODOO curse. The towns people, (thinking they have a historical find), tow it into the local harbor. I'm sure you can piece the rest together. Yes, there are vivid scenes of cannabalism that are down right nasty and disgusting, but it is a horror book and if you don't like it you shouldn't read it.
Simply put, I liked "THE NIGHT BOAT" I recommend it to any horror lover. It is an easy read worth the time. Trouble is, it is out of print & hard to find a copy, the flea markets are the best place to try and look for one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nazi Nightmare, August 7, 2001

By 

"warochester" (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Night Boat (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is for readers who like to curl up in their favorite chair, turn the lights down low, and be scared out of their wits. Try reading this during a storm for maximum effect. This story will send chills like cold fingers down your spine. The details are so vivid the reader will imagine he/she is fleeing and fighting Nazi spirits alongside the main character. C'mon Robert, write us another one!

4.0 out of 5 stars What lurks below., April 13, 2003

By 

Hogarth Hughes (Rockwell, ME) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Night Boat (Paperback)

Pretty good little horror story. McCammaon is one of the best writers out there and although this little yarn about undead Nazis in the Carribean is a tad muttled due to the fact that is was his second book, it's still a cool story. Read this then rent the movie BELOW and have a scary night of submarine terror.
