The Sentinel di Jeffrey Konvitz (1974)

  1. 40
    Rosemary's Baby di Ira Levin (jseger9000)
    jseger9000: The stories are quite different, but the books share similar themes. Both books are '70's religious shockers about a young woman moving into a new apartment, set in New York.

I read this book in the late 70s or very early 80s, and I remember it vividly. I was a young adult, and it was intense and scary. The only disappointment was the blech (yet predictable) beast interaction near the end. I am a reader who, sadly, forgets much of the details in the books I read, but 40 years later, I remember this one for the scare/creep factors.

It is your standard evil, hidden beast in the attic fare. Others have reviewed that it didn't age well which could very well be true, but since I read it in its time, I don't have that taint. ( )

This was exactly what I expected it to be, slightly dated, catholic-themed horror.

This is a classic horror that I missed out on the first time around because I never knew it was a book. I remember seeing the movie when I was a kid or bits of it anyway but I didn't realize it was adapted from a book.

A model with a dark past moves into a great apartment with affordable rent. All is well until she meets her neighbors!

Some of the language is a bit dated but the story itself stands up to the test of time.

I would rate it 4 of 5 stars.

I received a complimentary copy for review. ( )

The whole time I was reading this book, I was just waiting for things to start making sense; that "aha!" moment if you will, and I felt I was never fully able to understand why or how certain things were happening and how they tied into the story. I will say, however, that parts of it creeped me out very much, so I enjoyed that. Allison's fear towards the end when she hid in her closet was palpable; I really felt her desperation, and the descriptions of it were impressive. ( )

Dated, 1970s evil makes me cough dust. Cool spitting cat though. ( )
