More About the Author

Amber Benson co-wrote and directed the animated web-series Ghosts of Albion with Christopher Golden for the BBC. The duo then novelized the series in two books for Random House. Her first solo novel, Death's Daughter, was published by Penguin in 2009, with a children's book for Simon and Schuster called The New Newbridge Academy to follow in the fall of 2010. As an actress, Benson spent three seasons as Tara Maclay on the cult show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She has also written, produced, and directed three feature films, including her latest, Drones, which she co-directed with Adam Busch and will be released later this year.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short but powerful, February 14, 2007

This review is from: The Seven Whistlers (Hardcover)

It was already late when I started to read. My wife and kids were asleep, the house was quiet. I'd been sick that day and was tired, but strangely alert; I hoped a little light reading would put me in a drowse and let me get some much-needed rest. So I picked the top book off one of several to-read piles strategically located around the house and settled in for a quick couple of pages.

My mistake. The next book on the stack was "The Seven Whistlers" by actress Amber Benson (best known as Tara on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and author Christopher Golden. I was up 'til 6, when I finished the story.

Fortunately for my health and well-being, it's a short novel, only 143 pages. For all its brevity, it is powerful, beautifully conceived and developed, and utterly riveting. Benson and Golden have created a new mythology that rings true.

5.0 out of 5 stars Could they possibly go wrong?, January 28, 2007

This review is from: The Seven Whistlers (Hardcover)

It's hard to imagine the dynamic duo of Amber Benson and Christopher Golden could go wrong. I have yet to see it. The Seven Whistlers is a gripping tale but simplistic in its resolution. While it's shorter and not as elaborate as The Ghosts of Albion series penned by these same authors, it is still an entertaining suspenseful read.
