Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Award-winning author Everson's latest novel fails to live up to the reputation that two Bram Stoker Awards earned him. Twenty-five years after a bloody massacre, the Castle House Lodge has reopened as an asylum, with an unusual group of patients. Dr. Barry Rockford, a controversial MIT geneticist, has recruited some local thugs to abduct young women. Early on, the reader learns that Rockford's experiments involve impregnating his captives as part of a Satanic ritual. His activities initially fly beneath the radar, until new Castle Point Police Officer Christy Sorensen learns that a neighboring jurisdiction has experienced a rash of disappearances. Sorensen's inquiries lead her to the amateur sleuthing of bicyclist David Shale, who earns himself a job at the asylum as a handyman. At times Everson's prose is so over the top it's laughable, but it's the stock characters and situations that sink this average novel.

    Amazing story! Will make each turn of the page more exciting.

    The 13th by John Everson is a twisted and fascinating tale. If you had read some of his other books you will see that this one brings you into a darker, sinister place. A story to piece together as you read. It is a suspenseful tale with thrills,gore and terror.

    A must read. Recommend it to everyone you know who is a lover of horror books. You won't be disappointed and neither will they.

    Fun, if not a little gory read!

    I really did love this book. I did not see the end coming in this one. I think I read this book in less than 2 days, just to see how it ended! Great spooky story.

    Bloody good

    As an avid reader of horror, I would say The 13th is easily among the top five best reads of the last two years. Filled with explicit sex and gore, yet balanced with sympathetic characters, I found myself reacting viscerally to the climactic rescue scene and the heartbreaking ending. Diehard horror fans should love it.
