This is a fast paced horror novel that reads like an 80's slasher film. Johnny Grissom, dubbed Gruesome for his love of death metal is a hard rocking headbanger with a souped up ride called the Death Mobile. After Johnny is found dead in his car which was submerged in an icy river the police are unsure whether it was an accident or a homicide. What follows is a series of grisly murders that terrorize Johnny's hometown. This book was fast paced and well written. I would recommend this book to fans of Joe Hill. ( ) Johnny Gruesome is what you might get if you took all the emo out of J O' Barr's The Crow and replaced it with hardcore, attitude-filled metal. Johnny Grisson is not a good person. He's your familiar wayward angry youth with an alcoholic father, a dead mother and a serious problem with the way life is treating him. So when he ends up dead Johnny's determined not to take it laying down and instead he decides to make a mark on the world by kicking the ass of the little town of Red Hill where he lived and died. Over all the book is familiar, but too well written and enjoyable to be cliché. It's, in many ways, a classic slasher flick in book form with science and logic fudged at time for effect. But it's a fun romp through rage and blood and zombies and would be a solid addition to private and public horror collections.

Johnny Grissom--nicknamed "Johnny Gruesome" by his high school classmates--is a heavy metal hellion who loves to party, watch horror movies, and get into fights. One winter night, Johnny's car, The Death Mobile, is discovered submerged beneath the icy surface of Willow Creek, with Johnny's waterlogged corpse inside. The townspeople believe that his death was accidental. But soon the murders begin--horrible acts of violent vengeance that hint at a deepening mystery and terror yet to come. A headless body is discovered at the high school, a priest is forced to confront his own misdeeds, and a mortician encounters the impossible. The sound of a car engine and maniacal laughter fill the night, and one by one, Johnny's enemies meet a grisly demise. The students at Red Hill High School begin to fear for their lives--especially Johnny's closest friends, who all harbor a dark secret. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
