Representaion In Pursuance Of Books Breed
Alex and Leslie Twisden told each other they would do anything to have children. The price didn’t matter. But the experimental procedure they found had costs they couldn’t foresee.Adam and Alice Twisden’s lives seem perfectly normal. Except that, every night, without fail, their parents lock them into their rooms.
And the twins know that the sounds they can hear are not just their imagination. They’re real. And they’re getting louder...
From a new name in horror, Breed is a stunning thriller in the vein of Rosemary’s Baby, brilliantly written, daring, and unforgettable.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. My Summary: Alex and Leslie's relationship was always strong. They were happily married for years, and even the age difference couldn't make a dent in their blissfully happy lives.That is, until the couple began wishing for a child. After years of trying with no success, Alex and Leslie begin to look into unorthodox methods, with disastrous results.Ten years later, the Twisdens haveIll start with a caveat. Im no big fan of horror. I tend toward science based sci-fi. Arthur C. Clarke being at the top of my list of favorite sci-fi writers. So, when I was asked to review an advance copy of Breed by Chase Novak (the pen name for Scott Spencer), I was apprehensive. I have very little background or interest overall in the genre. And, after reading the sticker on the cover offering a quote by the King of Horror himself, Stephen King, who hailed Breed as the best horror novel Ive
I have wanted to read this book for a while, and I admit to being sold on it because of the blurb where Stephen King calls it the best horror story he's read since Peter Straub's Ghost Story - a claim that is just purely ridiculous. First, Ghost Story was boring boring boring - surely that's not the baseline that King uses for comparison. Hell, my grocery list is more readable, interesting, and terrifying than that snoozefest. Secondly, this book was not very horrorish at all once it got going.

Leslie is quite capable on her own, working for an up and coming childrens publisher, and quite frankly, shed have married Alex if he was cab driver (or other such blue collar profession.) But hes not, and theyre deliriously
It being October I thought I would read a "horror" novel and who better to suggest such a novel than Stephen King, the master of horror himself. Mr King said that this novel was the best he has read since Straub's Ghost Story. After reading this novel I have to wonder if King thinks that most everything that has been written since Ghost Story is garbage and that his expectations are very low indeed. Breed is written by Scott Spencer (Endless Love) under the pseudonym of Chase Novak. He sets the
Originally Reviewed on The Book SmugglersRosemary's Baby is easily one of my favorite horror movies of all time. Rosemary Woodhouse's descent into terror and paranoia, her protectiveness of her unborn child, the simultaneously comical & horrifying geriatric satanists next door - these are all expertly crafted horror elements that speak to the frightening aspects of pregnancy, ambition, and betrayal. (This is to say nothing of Mia Farrow's - and Ruth Gordon's - powerful performance!) When I
