Great Horror Novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
The Hyde Effect is the best werewolf book I have ever read. It has plenty of action and good characters. The climax is superb. If done right, it would make an excellent film.

Werewolves The Way They Ought To Be.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I'v had the pleasure of owning this book twice and the horror of losing it twice to friends that also lost themselves in the story.After nearly 5 years,it still stands out as the best example of why werewolves are such a facinating antagonist and why the myth of the werewolf has stood the test of time. This book is what I think of when I think of a werewolf story that I would love to tell.Too often the werewolf of most modern stories are weak examples of the raw power that can be found in the subject.But,thankfully this splendid tale puts them back where they belong...As a rending,slavering,howling nightmare that has us all with our heads under the sheets and silently begging for more.
THE best werewolf epic ever written
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I'm not surprised by the overwhelming acclaim for this little known author. I first read "HYDE" over 12 years ago, and it remains the most horrifying and enthrawling tale I've ever read. From the opening pages of the prologue, the suspense builds thru the cycles of the moon, climaxing first on an unforgettable Halloween that haunts me even today at any roadstop. Yet that is only the beginning. What follows defines terror, as Vance captures the essence of fear -- helplessness -- the thing nightmares are made of, when the indiscriminate violence unleashes its fury in Part Two. This book is stand alone, although it's sequel "Shapes" provides more insight into the characters. Film prospects have been discussed, but no movie could possibly do these 400 pages justice. Vance sets himself apart, proving himself amongst the best of Koontz and King.
