THE MONTAUK MONSTER by Hunter Shea
I borrowed this book from my sister, Laura, @ fuonlyknew. We both love monster books and I could hardly wait to get my hands on this beauty. I was not disappointed.
OOOOOOOOOh my, what big teeth you have?
Oh yeah, loving the title. Simple yet effective, just like the awesome cover. Wowza! Is it a snake monster? Is it a water monster? Is it an alien monster? I open the cover eagerly and hunker down, ready for my journey of anticipation and terror to begin. ^_^ Have you ever heard of Plum Island? You know, the island where they do animal disease research? Or more? The writing is fantastic. Scary, suspenseful and humorous. I’ve heard of driving with eye one when drunk, have you? I couldn’t help but laugh, even though I know it is a big no-no. When Randy saw the monster and thought – What The Hell Is That – so did I. It brings to mind all the wonderful B movies I love to watch. I can hardly wait to find out what it is. I can hear the crash of the waves on shore and smell the heavy salt air. I know it well and love it. I live it, breathe it, so this book is really getting me excited. Thoughts of Jaws comes to mind as I race through the pages. Fast paced and easy reading. I can’t help but chuckle here and there. It is written with a light touch. A horror movie come to life. The Montauk Monster has all the elements of a great horror novel. Will you be a Montauk Monster meal?

It has a very Jaws-esque feel.
It did for me too and I loved it. ^_^
Love me some humor when reading or watching a story about a creepy monster. Without it, it would be much too intense! (Guess that’s why B movies are so fun!)
I’m with you all the way, Taylor. I feel exactly the same and I sure do love them. lol
This would be a perfect ScYFy channel movie. I love those B movies. And yes, there must be humor with the horror. Fun review and great tease Sherry. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks much for letting me borrow it. ^_^
