B-movie novel is better than movie it's from.
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.

Predictable horror potboiler
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.

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.

A Great Thriller,
This review is from: Prophecy (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

Good Reading,
By Linda Hepworth "Avid Mystery Reader" (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prophecy (Mass Market Paperback)
Biological changes are beginning to occur. People are sick, their minds are confused. Children are being borned dead or deformed. A family of campers has been found dead, mutilated by something using incredible brute force... The prophecy is beginnig to be fulfilled. Very interesting considering all the pollution, etc.. now in the world.
