Sarah Pinborough's "Breeding Ground"

although I should wait to finish this book.. I have to say that "HOLY BANANAS" This book starts off with a bang.. one second err two pages it's all nice and cozy.. then BAM!! It hits you with a baseball bat (or a cricket bat if your English :P ) This is the third novel by Sarah and it's so far the best I've read.. It makes one of the best "end of the world" novels I've read so far...and I'm only in the first 25% of the book. The Characters and settings draw you in so much that it makes you feel as if your there inside the body of the main character walking downtown of the city he lives in. which at one point in the book I wouldn't have minded. Till Scary stuff starts. It's like your favorate Horror movie.. Gald to watch it.. hate to live it. I guess that would be "Love to read it... hate to live it" then for the book. :P PICK uo her novels.. you will not be upset by the choice.

ARACHNOPHOBIA TIMES TEN!!!!

I actually read this book quite a while ago, yet it still dwells in my head and causes me to have nightmares to this very day. This author does a wonderful job with her characters and story line and I was drawn into her webbed catastrophe as if I was there. Amazing book and one that I can truly say has left me traumatized.

Breeding Ground

From start to finish this is a proven horror novel at its supreme best. You won't put it down, and if you do--well, you won't want to. Trust me. This was, simply a brilliant, dark, delicious tale that gives a new meaning to...breeding. --Joseph McGee, author of In the Wake of the Night, Phil's Place and Darkness Won't Rest: Phils Place II

Scary!!

This is one of those rare horror novels that hits the ground running on Page One and doesn't break stride once all the way through. Like Graham Masterton, Sarah Pinborough is an English writer, and there is something indefinably creepy about horror novels written by British authors that I just adore; the BREEDING GROUND is a perfect example. Even though Ms. Pinborough's setting is quite modern, there's something of the clanking chain and dank, moldering castle overarching her narrative, and it's stunningly effective in elevating the chill factor. Matthew and Chloe are a young couple with a new baby on the way. Their concerns are the same as for expectant parents since the beginning of time: the health of their growing fetus, weight gain, morning sickness and such. Chloe and Matt are typical expectant parents, but when Chloe delivers, it is something that neither she or Matt could have expected in their wildest nightmares. Their child isn't...well...it isn't right at all. It isn't even human. And women all over the countryside are giving birth to these horrifying, spidery monstrosities that are an entirely new species, parasites that use their hosts for food and as hosts for their own dreadful spawn, leaving behind web-enshrouded ghost towns that stand as bleak, silent evidence of their evolutionary success. And the monsters are spreading exponentially! BREEDING GROUND is a wonderfully entertaining and shriek-inspiring novel beautifully wrought by an author with an unflinching eye and a steady hand.

WOW!!!!

Matt and Chole are a happily married couple who is looking forward to their first child. Everything is going normal until he starts noticing that Chole is putting on a lot more weight than normal. Her mood is also changing. She is becoming very depressed and combative. He soon learns that he and Chole isnt the only ones this is happening too. Women all over town are pregent and are going through the same changes that Chole is experencing. He soon finds out that this is a Global phenomona and noone can explain what is happening. He prepares himself for the worst but he leans that that there isnt anything he could have done to be ready for what Chole gives birth too. What she gives birth too isn't a baby. It isn't even human. It is a nightmarish spider like creature. She isnt alone. Women all over the world are giving birth to these hideous creatures and they only want us for two things. Food, and as hosts to birth their young. Matt flees his home and soon finds other survivors. Together they must find a way to fight and survive these creatures that now have become the new dominent species of what is left of the world. I must admit I didnt know what to expect when I started Breeding Ground. I had never read any of Ms Pinborough work before. The premise caught my eye though, and I tore into it with high hopes. To say my hopes were exceeded is a major understatment. I simply could not put this book down for anything. Breeding Ground hits the ground running on the first page and never lets up. I found myself staying up to the crack of dawn on a couple occasions consumed in this story. I havent had this much fun reading a authors work for the first time since Brian Keene's The Rising. I will go as far as to say that this is the best Horror Novel to come out this year, and I am sure that I wont be the only one saying that before long. I also recently learned that Ms. Pinborough has a sequel planned. I cant wait to see were she takes this story next. I could go on and on talking about how great this story is but I will finish by saying that anyone who is a fan of SciFi or Horror novels has to go pick up a copy of Breeding Ground. It is one of the best stories to come out in a long time. Ms. Pinborough you have a new fan.
