Poor effort
This was the most poorly written book that I have ever read. I read like it was written for a high school writing project. It was choppy and bounced around too much. The descriptions and characters were extremely redundant and the action sequences were so drawn out that they held absolutely no suspense. I bought both Possesions and Rabid Growth...and disliked both. I am sure that Mr. Moore capable of better writing than this.

CERTAINLY ENTERTAINING
Right from the start this book grabs your attention. Everything is described in very good details and it is easy to fly right through this book. Be sure and read 'Posessions' first so you know the backround of the book. This book is a good horror read.

strong horror tale
Eighteen year old Chris Corin is having a very bad year. After his mother¿s death, he became the legal guardian for his fifteen year old sister Brittany who is going through puberty and challenging his authority every chance she can. His maternal grandmother, who he has never met and who his mother never talked about, challenges him for custody of Brittany. He is the winner of millions of dollars in the lottery but with al the paperwork that has to be taken care of, he barely has enough money to buy food. --- There has been an enormous increase in the homeless population and the men are violent. One of the men who became extremely violent is taken to jail where he dies. The police lose the body and later Chris sees him walking the streets. Chris¿ friend Jerry, as well as other people in town, who were affected by the events that took place last year (see POSSESSIONS) are changing, becoming something other than human. Chris tries to help his friend while trying to prevent being killed or worse by the others that have changed into something alien. --- James A. Moore is one of the best new horror writers of the twenty first century as he can hold his own wilt the greats including Clive Barker, Bentley Little, Stephen King and Robert Mccammon. Be advised that this book should be read with all the lights on and they should not be turned off even when the reader goes to sleep. The story starts off in a mundane fashion but changes so subtly readers will feel they are in the Twilight Zone without an idea of how they got there.--- Harriet Klausner
