This is a post apocalyptic novel and not one of my favorite genres. The author never really explains what the creatures were. The story was not too scary but rather creepy. I don't think I would want to read it at night before sleeping as the story would definitely play tricks with your mind. The story jumps between past and present and the author does this very well. There is a definite connection to the characters as you do care about what is happening to them. This is the author's debut novel and I would say that it would be good to keep an eye on him as he is very talented in this type of horror genre.

well written, I liked the book better than the movie but i'm going to watch the movie again now that I have read the book. No solution to the mystery which adds a high degree of suspense

A well crafted story! The back and forth timeline worked and not knowing what was out there was perfect. This reminded me of the Stephen King based movie "The Mist" which I also thought was outstanding.

Fast paced page-turner and I loved the way the chapters alternated between past and present. This is the authors first book and I can't wait to see what he writes next!! I actually can't stop thinking about this book, it scared the hell out of me!
