This wasn't Little's best work. It was strange and interesting, but not a must-read.
Helpful Score: 3
Well written, the characters, while they didn't all interact, came together well. It was a little shallow in some areas, but not enough to bore you to tears.
Helpful Score: 3
A good book, but in my opinion not as good as Little's books usually are. Still, I would recommend it.

Pretty much stock Bentley Little - a few scary surprises but overall not a great horror book.
Helpful Score: 3
The back of the book doesn't go in depth on the story line, it is one of those "Bad summary, AWESOME book!" scenarios. I love the story, it is a supernatural thriller...and I DO mean thriller...I would read Stephen King until Midnight but not this one...

Another excellent Bentley Little.If you don't know his works?GET ON IT!!You needn't miss another second, just check out this book..A very uniques plot line keeps you reading on...not as gory as many of his books, it does give new light to a part of USA history that few know (or care) about..

Wow! You never know what you'll get with Bentley Little!
This book is very graphic in describing some of the 'events' and might be offensive but yet---it is considered 'horror'

Great story, keeps you interested all the way through. If you like the Horror genre you will love Bentley Little!
This book was great! I haven't read a horror in a while that was not psychological. This is a supernatural horror.
I've found a new favorite author.

Ann Van Helsing has been cursed with a deep psychic ability that renders her insane in the eyrs of all who know her. with a simple touch, she is privy to another's history, thoughts and every desire- a power Ann finds overwhelming. then while searching the near by woods for the ever-elllusive peace, she finds darkllllly mysterios man who will forever change her life. Born a vampire, Stephen Sincai must atone for sins against his own kind. to do so, he has to kill those whom other vampires have made. When Ann finds Stephen injured in the woods, she cannot stop herself from reaching out to help. and in that instance, the knowledge of what stephen is both frightens and fascinates her. as they surrender to forbidden passion, Ann and stephen fight the danger around them. Yet their battle has just begun,as an unseen evil will force them to choose between what they love... and what they fear most.
long winded & so boring......
This was a good book, it was kind of slow in a few spots but picked right back up again pretty quickly. This is not a book you want to read at night when you are out in the woods alone far from civilization...
Bentley Little is a master of macabre horror! However, this story was like another he's written. I'm hoping that not all of his writings fall under this particular formula: Seemingly random people have the same horror experiences in difference places. One giant force/monster/spirit culmulates and brings everyone together. Huge finale, lots of blood and gore, then... peace and calm. The Burning takes place around the building of the transcontinental railroad and racism.
The Burning was a pretty quick read for me. I didn't ejoy it as much as Bentley Little's other book "The Store".
Excellent book, classic Bentley Little!

Bentley Little is a good horror writer with as good of an imagination as Stephen King. Definitley worth the time to read. The book is in goog condition. Only read once by myself.
A pretty cool ghost story.
I love Little's writing,very creative!
STEPHEN KING quote about the Author "Amaster of the macabre" Touching a part of American History in a way you have not seen.
Stephen King calls him "A master of the Macabre."
Great Reading them All:)
