By day it was paradise. By night it was a seething hell. Nightworld -- where for centures werewolves, dragons, griffins, and vampires served a computerized Prince of Darkness . . .

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun Book, Poor Editing, September 4, 2007

This review is from: Nightworld (Paperback)

It became obvious as I read that the current printing by wildside press was done by scanning a paper manuscript with poor Character Recognition, then it was printed without a final check. Lots of punctuation errors all over the book. The 'd' in the word 'and' was replaced with 'al' in at least two locations. (Write that out to see what the awful result is!) How a printer could ever get away with this is beyond me.
If you want to read this fun little story, get a second-hand copy of the original printing.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Metaphor, November 30, 2001

This review is from: Nightworld (Paperback)

The year was 1979. I was just 13 years old, the awkward age when the hormones are raging, young girls look like goddesses and magic is not yet quite the myth it becomes at 35. Being raised in a small Judeo/Christocentric redneck town only complicated the chaos of puberty and identity chrisis. In a world where demons and angels battled constantly for possesion of my soul, I identified perfectly with the hero. This book was pivotal in changing my world view and while it may not be so important to others it is still a romping good read. I define it as a worthy successor to Dante's Inferno!
