Last Days Audiobook

" Evenson is amazing. Every sentence he writes is great. The book, like his others, goes way too far and soon becomes a nasty car accident that you cannot look away from. I was repulsed and I laughed uneasily and I spent a week or so in a rather disturbed state of mind. "

" What starts out as a gore-fest becomes a satire of organized religion. Amusing, but the comparisons with Hammett, Lethem, Kafka, Hemingway and so on are a bit much. As I read it, I kept thinking of Graham Masterton's "Ritual", also about a cult of dismemberment (with cannibalism, however). "

" A delightful suprise! Short book, fast paced, weird, sort of like a big novel distilled down to it's stronger version. "

" Dark and exhausting and just plain strange, it's a pretty good read for a winter's day. "

" For an in depth discussion of Last Days, please listen to my podcast, The Writer and the Critic, episode 4. "

" Holy God what a story. "

" Extremely violent "

" I agree with most - disturbing and unsettling - which distinctly qualifies it as a great literary horror piece. Brian's use of Biblical metaphor and Christian guilt really hit home... an amazing read, but not for those with weak stomachs:) "

" Ridiculously violent and creepy. This book is bananas. "

" Evenson is right up there with Thomas Ligotti when it comes to crafting a bleak narrative that fills you with a spectral, philosophical dread. No short, sharp shocks here, folks. It stays with you. "

" i had fun reading the book.. some of it makes me laugh.. funny,gory... uniquely written... "

" Very dark, very funny. Although, I wish some of the history and inner workings of the cult were more deeply explored. "

" Ridiculously violent and creepy. This book is bananas. "

" A delightful suprise! Short book, fast paced, weird, sort of like a big novel distilled down to it's stronger version. "

" So sparce it almost (almost) makes Hammett look wordy. Damn good. "

" Truthfully, it isn't so much that I LIKED this book, as that I thought it was really well done, and would work well for those who like this sort of thing. "

" I have been avoiding reading this book at night. "

" Not as brilliant as his shorts, but still deliciously grotesque. "
