5.0 out of 5 stars Keene keeps getting better!, 27 May 2008
By A. Carr (newcastle UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Once again, a Brain Keene book that has got me hooked from the first sentence (you know if you have read it.) The book is so fast paced that you almost feel that you have been watching a film. The antithesis is truly terrifying and although much of the books ending can be predicted a while in advance it still delivers a thrilling ride. Be warned the book is very descriptive of both horror and sexual imagery and there is a lot of each but it never feels excessive or unnecessary. I look forward with a great deal of anticipation to the follow up due in August 2008 (Ghost Walk)

4.0 out of 5 stars Up to the author's usual standard, 18 Feb 2008
By B. D. Wilson (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
"Dark Hollow" is Brian Keene's latest novel, and it is up to the usual level of quality I would expect from the man. The story is gripping, the characters are easy to identify with, and Keene does the themes of friends sticking together and sacrifice as well as anyone.

Keene states that he thinks Dark Hollow is is best book to date. Personally, I still feel that "City of the Dead" is his best book, but this is certainly up there with his best. And for those of you who have been following the rest of his work, you will be rewarded by clear references to his over-arching "Labyrinth" mythos: the universe all his novels are set in, and which he plans to develop and bind all his books the way Stephen King used the Dark Tower to connect all his worlds.

The book also comes with a free extract from his next novel, "Ghost Walk", coming in August this year, which by the looks of it is a sequel to Dark Hollow. It's got me really looking forward to that, and Keene also promises that Ghost Walk will be the book where the Labyrinth is unveiled in full.

So overall, a very good horror novel, as I have come to expect from Brian Keene. It's exciting, fast-moving and great fun. It even had a bit of the feel of Graham Masterton to it. If you are a Keene fan (or a Masterton fan, for that matter), don't miss it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A traditional tale of horror with a modern-day punch, 11 Oct 2008
By Captain EO "No. 7" (Cardiff, Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
Despite being a fan of horror novels, this was my first Brian Keene book and I'm pleased to say I found it hard to put down & will definitely purchase another of his novels.

The book pits members of an average American neighbourhood against forces of evil within a "haunted forest". Not exactly highly original stuff but a large part of the contents of this book hit the spot with me. I won't spoil the story but enjoyed the fact that the central "beast" of the book was exposed early on yet still managed to pack a meaty punch. Quite often, once the monster is revealed, a book (or film) suffers in so much that much of your imagination is stripped and much of the mystery is lost. With "Dark Hollow" I found myself gripped and fascinated by the fact that you knew what was causing such a commotion.

Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the plot & overall story of this novel, I wasn't particularly impressed by Keene's style of writing. It's adequate for writing of this genre, but certainly not great & at times it felt as if I was reading a "Young-Adult" book. Much of the events in the book however are far from being aimed at anyone under the age of 18, more so extremely sexual rather than the level of gore. It pushes boundaries but didn't go too far like several horror novels I've read have done.

The other thing that I found incredibly frustrating was the over-the-top relationship that Keene's central character had with his dog. I fully appreciate that there are a large number of people who treat their mutts with more respect than humans but page-after-page of human / canine love grinds after a while and it set up quite a predictable part of the ending.

Negative aspects aside, I still really enjoyed Dark Hollow & with a little more originality & improvement in writing skills, I think Brian Keene could start challenging the likes of King & Laymon to get into the top tier of the genre.
