Oh My God! Who Wrote That Review!??!! Great BookThough,
By A Customer
This review is from: Walkers (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a horror readers treat!, I loved everything about this novel. I enjoy anything written by Gary Brandner, he has a simple cinematic style of writing, mentally it's like watching your own personal horror film. Who wrote the review below me?, Oh!...My!...God!...can anyone say school...or english class?!...YUK! Synopsis; Joana was one of the dead, But she was brought back to life!. That's when people began trying to kill her...nice people...the last people in the world anyone would suspect of being capable of murder...people who were already dead...

Another good horror novel from Gary Brandner. It's short, inventive, lean, and fast-moving.,
By David "Laymon Fan" (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walkers (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is about a young woman who drowns in a pool, has a near-death experience, and gets revived by an off-duty doctor who lives in the nearest apartment building.After dancing for hours, she gets severe muscle cramps while swimming in the pool. (The book makes it seem like she got her swimmer's cramps because she ate right before swimming, but all eating would do is give you an abdomenal cramp, not a leg cramp.) She goes under, loses consciousness, and drowns. She's technically dead for a short time, but either through her will to live or through the CPR of a doctor, she comes back. While she was dead, she felt the pull of a dark entity and the presence of many lost souls. The entity believes that she should have stayed dead and sends a series of emissaries to kill her. They are the reanimated corpses of the recently dead (the 'walkers' of the title).

Walkers, Gary Bradners thriller about trying to cheat death.,
By "cumrec" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walkers (Mass Market Paperback)
I first discoverd Gary Bradner when I read the Howling trilogy. In my opinon their his best works, 1 and 3 specificly. Bradner isent relly one of my favorit authers,( thats Stephen king and Anne Rice) but I find his work very entertaning. I've never read a novle by him I didnt enjoy on some level. His novles are usualy short but move quikle. Walkers is an interesting supernatural thriller about a wommen who has near deth experents when she drownes in a swiming pool at a party. When shes rivived she remembers gooing into a tunnle of lite. Ther where dark figgers on the sides of the tunnel that she had to fight to return to her body. She thinks she got away but then people start tring to kill her who have no crimle record and she dosint know. Then she finds out there bodys were dead before they attacked her. A misterus supernatural force from beyond the grave is posesing bodys of the recently desest and using them to try to bring the wommen back to them. Each figer she saw in the tunnel has a chance take her life back with them. They are the walkers. So this novel is relly about fitting fate. She fights ageinst deth to keep her life and chang her fate. However deth has retalated and she has to fight the walkers. So she disides to use the suppernatrel to fight the supernatural, a freind helps her who knows how to use tarrow cards, and she askes a gipsy fortune teller for guidents. This fighting fire with fire strategy with the suppernatural is a common bradner theme. Walkers is well paced, suspencfule and maneges a twist or two. Tarrow card parts are the most suspencful and errei in my oppinon. I found the themes very intresting. I found walkers satisfiying. I would recemend it to any Bradner fans, or if you just enjoy supernaturle thrillers and themes intrege you like they do me. There is decent film version cald "In the dead of night". The film has more action then the book, but looses some of the suspense. In the end mr Bradners walkers isent shakespere but its entertaniing.
