David I must say that your trilogy of books has made such an impact to my affection for zombies that I can never safely read or watch another zombie story without thinking about your books.
I would have never thought it possible to add such a supern…
I literally just finished reading the monster trilogy and i am impressed by how good the books were. Although i still think of Gary as a monster i sympathize with him in a way, he tried to just survive in monster island and unfortunately, due to fat…
I'm more a zombie fan, so when I started reading Monster Island I was almost put off by his twist on the typical zombie mythos, but grew to love it.
At the risk of sounding like an angsty horror fan, Twilight damn near ruined vampires for me. They…
I'm just now reading the Caxton books (about 100 pages from wrapping up Vampire Zero, trying to take my time as 23 Hours won't get to me for a week or so), but the Monster trilogy is great.
Pick up Monster Island, but don't go in expecting your typ…
Glad I could help.
Let me know if it's good - I might catch the reprint next year.
Never heard of it. Amazon is selling them for $60.00+ new, $100.00+ used. I found an Ebay store selling copies (5 left out of 16) for $11.29.

hopefully no children reading this. I forgot about Dekalb and Gary's symbiotic relationship. I actually confused Gary for the sympathetic character that was Dekalb. Thanks for the reminder.
My wife is reading it, but says it kinda crawls in the beginning. Does the pace pick up? I'd like to motivate her to finish so she can tell me if I would like it. Though I just started 13 Bullets so I'll probably read that series before I start anyt…
The skull was what remained of Gary after the conclusion of the first book (and after Dekalb's killing and inadvertently restoring him over the years).
The final battle in Planet has him transformed into a 10+ foot tall skeletal spider with scythes…
zach, you are right about the monster series. i read planet first and was blown away! i am a traditional slow but numerous zombie fan ala romero, but i can understand the need in the 21st century for "fast zombies", which frankly, scares the hell ou…
First off, can't believe there isn't a thread for this already. I've seen a couple, but they were just pointing out factual errors. Shame. Time for some praise.
I really can't get enough of this story, which sucks, 'cause I just finished the third…
