Customer Reviews

Great Fun

Bryan Smith's style isn't for everyone, but if you love pulpy grindhouse fun like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I Spit On Your Grave, or the works of Richard Laymon and William W. Johnstone, then you'll have a ball with this.

Horror readers delight

The best writing to date from this seasoned horror writer (House Of Blood & Deathbringer). The breakneck pace starts from the first chapter and never lets up. Plenty of gory freaks, hidious freaks and sexy freaks relentlessly torment the few survivors who stumble into Pleasant Hills Tenn. The writing is superb with plenty of action, gore and horror. A real page turner that you won't want to put down once you pick it up.

Rapid-fire gore fest with out-of-the-ordinary freaks

Brain eating, pistols, shotguns, carving, mutilation, blood, gore galore, mind control, psychotic mutant clowns, living machines ... and yeah, freaks! The Flaherty Brothers Traveling Carnivale and Freakshow has come to Pleasant Hills, and small town America will never be the same again. Smith's book takes off immediately at a madcap pace with nonstop terror, cliffhangers, and intense scenes, like a wild roller coaster ride from first to last page. After dumping boyfriend Craig at the side of the road, will Heather be able to save her mother Alice? What grisly events are in store for Craig? Will Mike, cowering in fear at the Freakshow, be able to make good his escape? 'The Freakshow' can easily be visualized as a gore-fest horror movie, moving from one gruesome scene to the next with terrifying velocity. The Freakshow didn't come to town to entertain, it came to absorb. Bryan Smith is an upcoming writer to watch. 'The Freakshow' is his third novel. While the prose remains simplistic in style, his imagination certainly runs on the wilder, gorier side of horror. 'The Freakshow' is not for the weak of stomach. If you're a fan of horror, or a fan of freaks, 'The Freakshow' won't disappoint that slimy part of your brain that squirms with pleasure at the icky. Enjoy!
