5.0 out of 5 stars This book is one of the scariest book I have ever read!, September 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Steam (Paperback)

I love books about the 70's and the bathhouse and gay disco culture. The minute I got this book, I could not put it down and am in fact rereading it so I can relive it again. I rate this up there with some of stephen Kings scariest. I got chills reading it, and it is very heartbreaking when the beast steals children but very well handled. I highly regard this book and it is the number one book on my must read over and over list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! Erotic! Frightening!, August 13, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Steam (Paperback)

The horror of the AIDS epidemic finally gets its place.

Victor, the "Eater of Souls" takes gay men, children, drug addicts, and anyone infected with the AIDS virus and promises to take them back to the time before the epidemic. He then sucks the very remaining life right out of them.

David and Bobby, two men who have lost lovers to Victor hunt him down to a condemned bath house where Victor plies his sadistic trade on his victims. In the process they learn that they are brothers from an earlier life and have confronted Victor before.

A richly written book of horror that any gay man over 25 can identify with
