This review is from: Prophecy (Mass Market Paperback)

David Seltzer once again wrote a novel based on his script for a major studio horror feature. As with his work on The Omen, Prophecy actually reads like a novel and not just a script in narrative form. It is also quite superior to the film version, but then so is most other monster tales. Ferocious mutants terrorize Indians, lumberjacks, and EPA investigators in the woods of Maine. Recommended reading for all monster buffs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Thriller, January 10, 2000

With all that we know about pollution now days, this book really made one think as well as being a good "monster" book. If you liked Jaws & Grizzly, then you will like this.

2.0 out of 5 stars Predictable horror potboiler, November 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Prophecy (Mass Market Paperback)

Complete with evil corporate types as the generators of The Monster. Not much effort to flesh out either characters or situation. Indians are stereotype Indians, pregnant women are automatically nurturing, corporate officials are in denial. Same old same old.
