Good zombie story line - not much that's really original but a good story with just enough scary stuff.

Little's first full-length novel since last year's The Association is clogged with faceless characters and smothered by a preposterous story line involving ancient Indian burial grounds and frizzy-haired mummies. While many of Little's novels focus on the darkness of the human psyche with only touches of the paranormal, this one is too supernatural for its own good. The plot, which is far-fetched even by Little's standards, hinges on a team of archeologists who unearth a series of bizarre finds in Springerville, Ariz. Soon humans and animals are inexplicably slaughtering one another, and others are vanishing into thin air. At the plot's core is the so-called Mogollon Monster, a hideous half-human, half-animal that seemingly dictates the chaos.

This book seemed not to be as good as his others.

Bentley Little is one of my favorite horror authors. I have purchased every one of his books. My favorites being University and The Mailman. I even liked his collection of short stories ('The Collection'). This book, in my opinion, just wasn't that good or interesting to me. Sorry.

Typical Bentley Little with monsters in Arizona. I thought that there was pretty good character development and what seemed like accurate representations of Indian life, but the Mogollon Monster itself seemed to be a bit of a stretch. Al in all, though, if you like Bentley Little you should like this book.
