Yay, got here safely today. I'll be starting this one tonight :o)

Finished this last night, what a read LOL! There was only one gorey scene that really made me say ewe, that was in Chapter 9... good grief, eyeballs! I really enjoyed this one by Masterton, GeeMont, thanks :o) I pm'd nightraine56 yesterday so I can pass it on.

Mailed Out 7/7/05 to nightraine56 - Enjoy :o)

Received today as a bookray. Will start it soon.

This was a strange and freaky story. Some parts were rather disgusting and hard to believe, but I am glad that I read it. It is a reading experience.

Thanks for sharing. I will send it on when I get the address of sarradee.

Mailed to sarradee today. Enjoy!

Arrived today. Looks deliciously gruesome.

I see I'm the last one on this ray, GeeMont is there anything in particular you'd like me to do with the book when I'm done reading.

Deliciously creepy. I don't think I want to know where Masterson comes up with his ideas.

Restaurant critic Charles McLean and his teenage son Martin are traveling around Connecticut. Charles is reviewing restaurants, and Martin is bored. They discover Le Reposoir in Allen's Corners, a restaurant that Charles has never heard of and is eager to review. He becomes even more eager when he discovers it is private, by invitation only and there seems to be no way to get an invitation. Meanwhile Martin has been talking to a mysterious dwarf, and he runs away one night while his father is otherwise occupied. Charles is frantic to discover what has become of his son, but somehow nobody believes him that Martin is missing. Charles uncovers a connection to Le Reposoir, and demands to see his son. Le Reposoir isn't just a restaurant, its a religion, and the devotees of this religion consume their own flesh unto death in preperation for meeting God. Martin has joined and doesn't want to leave. Will he eat himself to meet God? Or will Charles save him? Time is running out.

This book is perfect to offer in the relay sites monthly Sick Sh*t Swaps.

Got this book in the mail today from sarradee. From the comments here is sounds like my kind of book. Thanks-- Can't wait to start reading.

Definetely some sick sh*t to be found in this book. There were about three seperate scenes that I would classify as truely gory, including the eyeballs ~~shudder~~. Very different storyline and worth the read.

I will be sending this on to DreamSE22 as part of the "Window Shopping!" relay at bookrelay.com, finally. ;-}

Enjoy DreamSE22!!

Hooray! Thanks SO MUCH for sending this book. I LOVE Graham Masterton, sometimes he can be predictable and sometimes he's not. I can't wait to read this one with Halloween coming up. :)

I loved this book, it was definitely one of Masterton's better and creepier horror novels! There were times I physically had to put the book down in my lap and turn my head because it was so disgusting. My SO didn't even want me to tell him or keep him updated on the plot like I sometimes do with good books. The eyeball chapter was DEFINITELY the sickest part of the book, especially when they were describing the best time to eat it and its texture! The only lull for me in the book was toward the end when we were made to follow Charlie's escape and run from the Celestines. I was ready for the book to end at that point.

As it sometimes happens with the ending of Masterton's books, I was a little ticked off at the epilogue, but I guess that's real horror for you!
