Kurt Reichenbaugh

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. It has not swayed my opinion.

It can be hard to come out of my reading comfort zone, but unknowingly, that is what I did here. Looking back, I wonder how I missed that this was horror. I thought Sirens was going to be more of a hard case crime situation, but instead it was some freaky ass horror action, something that I would have never picked up knowingly. Isn't it strange how the things that I normally avoid could be everything that I liked in Sirens by Kurt Reichenbaugh?
The characters are all off balance in someway or another, and some of them are just nuts. There are some characters who are so twisted that this is where I would normally be going on a full blown rant about how it was all so freaking unbelievable, how there is no way that there could be so many twisted people in one town... But I wont. While those things are true, it is also true that I loved it.
Now, this book isn't for everyone. There is a lot of gore, some deviant sex scenes, and sometimes both at the same time (also normally something that I would normally avoid). The setting is late 70's and there are times when it is all very cliche. For me, this was what ended up making this a surprisingly good read. Sirens is reminiscent of a cult classic.… (más)
