Great horror story - not just about the monsters that live in our imagination, but the ones we live with in our everyday lives.

Very good book about 3 childhood friends who deal with family troubles as well as a ghoul who...well you just have to read the book. It is slow in some parts but over all, kept me up late at night for about a week until I finished it. Highly recommended.

This was one of the best horror novels I have read. I have read and disliked other Brian Keene novels that dealt with a different subject matter, but this was an entirely different experience. Mr. Keene, in all his novels, shows a remarkable knowledge of Christian religion and folk mythology; in this book he ties them together with human experience in a unique and interesting way. I felt the ending was a bit contrived, but it didn't destroy the story for me. This is a great read.

Wow, Best of Keene! I spent many summers as a youth bored with nothing to do but these three boys summer will be unforgettable for me. I'm still shaking!

Fun book. Part horror, part adventure, part coming of age and very enjoyable.

A nice retro coming of age story. Though the 80's references were way too heavy handed during the first section of the novel (nearly one, sometimes two every line!) the author lightened up on the music and tv references and got on with the story. It's about a young boy and his two best friends and the summer when they must deal with everyday monsters as well as a slimy, corpse-eating ghoul. It's a fun monster book with a realistic ending if you're in the mood.

To me a while to really get into the book, in fact I put it down for a few weeks and picked it again and read in in two night. Not one of my favorite books however once I got in to it, it was a pretty good book.
