A superb novel,
By
This review is from: Myth (Paperback)
I enjoyed this excellent novel a lot. It's a fast-paced, highly erotic and extremely gory story of a young couple on holiday on a Greek island.Tricked and trapped by villagers and attacked by a mythical chimera, the woman becomes comatose and the man becomes monstrously ferocious as he fights for his sanity and for his freedom. In many ways Myth reminded me of a cross between Clive Barker's Nightbreed and An American Werewolf in London, and I'd recommend this novel to anyone who likes their fantasy dark, bloody and sexually charged.

Fast and Furious,
By A Rand (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Myth (Paperback)
Myth is a pretty good novel - fast-paced and quite well-written. Although the story is a good one - a sort of modern-day version of the Greek myth about the chimera - there is a bit too much gory violence and explicit sex in it for my taste.However, the story races along and it pulled me in immediately. I felt sorry for the young holidaying couple whose lives are destroyed by their desire to see the mythical creature rumoured to be living in the hills. I particularly enjoyed the main character's fight with the invading chimera - and his gradual metamorphosis into the ferocious creature. All in all, a very good read, although I wish the author had toned down the graphic violence a bit. And although I'm no prude, I don't feel that detailed, explicit sex scenes are necessary in a good book.
