3.5 Stars.. Out of the blue......a mature forest sprouts in a New Mexico desert town killing 273; then turns tourist attraction....and one hell of a huge Monster Mash! So......"Welcome to the First Annual Haunted Forest Halloween Tour"....and don't worry, H. F. Enterprises has a 100% safety record! "Nobody has ever been eaten on one of our tours, and nobody ever will." And......"I guarantee that you'll see things you've never imagined." Demons, aliens, ogres and serpents plus beasts with every k...
I am not gonna lie. If mysterious trees sprouted and monsters inhabited the strange forest, I would be the first idiot there to sight-see. I'd rather die knowing strange truths than die being a non -believer. And this story teaches us that the monsters would tear us apart. This is a five star gorefest. Seriously, somebody monopolizes on a train than runs through a forest of monsters. I would so take that tour. Maybe I'd be the one selling my soul to make it real. MAYBE. This is non stop action a...
Rating "The Haunted Forest Tour" five stars, like quite a few reviews have done, is akin to rating the Ed Wood cult classic "Plan 9 From Outer Space" an A plus, or a 70s kaiju battle royale a 10 out of 10. What that means is that if you get a bit of cozy nostalgia from creature features and cheesy B-movies, and are able to see the fun and joy behind sometimes gruesome fantasies of monster mayhem, you are one of the chosen audience. But as much as I love all the ghoulies and beasties in horror, s...
If you are a big fan of Jurassic Park, and you love creature feature horror, then this book is for you. The Haunted Forest Tour is basically a survival horror video game in book form. It has every type of monster and creepy crawler under the sun, all inhabiting a theme park run by tragically naive staffers. Of course, all hell breaks loose, and a rag-tag group of woefully underprepared survivors must do whatever it takes to fight off an army of evil with a couple of weapons and a dwindling suppl...
That was a fun adventure! A fast paced and very unique story. I've never before read anything by James A Moore (to be rectified!!) and I'm slowly making my way thru Jeff Strand's books and they are always awesome.
The Haunted Forest Tour by Jeff Strand and James A. Moore is a great horror book. I felt like I was watching an old time horror movie. It was part funny and part horror but I couldn't quit reading it. The crazy things that lead up to the forest and then up to the people in the forest is crazy and weird but fascinating! The last 1/4 of the book lost some stream but it was still good. I enjoyed it tremendously, even if I felt like I was watching a B movie, I loved that! It was a hoot. Gore, mayhem...
Absolute monster mayhem with wry wit and non stop action. Easily one of my favorite monster books of all time. I didn't want it to end.
I've read a few books by Jeff Strand and enjoyed them all. So when I saw this as a free option on Kindle Unlimited, I decided to dive right in. A plot revolving around a haunted forest tour with monsters and gore? Sign me up! I really enjoy Strand's humor, so I was totally expecting a cheeky, gory horror novel. That's exactly what I got. The Haunted Forest Tour is a fun story. If you're looking for a quick, enjoyable, and easy read...this is a good choice. Having said that, are there a few thing...
Alrighty, now! I have previously read this book back in 2019. And I enjoyed it as much then, as I have enjoyed it now.So, a strange forest mysteriously grows throughout an isolated town. Plants and foliage and trees are everywhere!And if that ain’t enough, the forest is filled with monsters! Yep. You heard me...monsters!So, of course, some human gets the brilliant idea to send other humans into the forest. You know, as tourists? And lots of people are lining up to come.And as you would expect, t...
Of course there will be comparisons between this story and Jurassic Park, but the scale of carnage in this one goes way beyond Crichton's classic story.I enjoyed the read, it pulled me in fairly quickly and had a decent pace and storyline, but I have to be honest and say that I expected more comedy with Jeff Strand as the co-author. It's a pretty decent monster-horror and can be recommended to anyone who enjoys the horror genre in general.
4 STARS. Full review upGory, bloody and tons of action! This was a fun romp of a book!This book felt like Jurassic Park had a baby with a monster.I loved it!I read this book in about two days because the action is just nonstop and I loved the monsters. Jeff Strand and James Moore collaborated together to put this creature feature together and it worked!The Haunted Forest Tour starts off with how the Haunted Forest came into being and I was hooked from that moment. Very cool idea!4 years later, t...
Yeah ... no.I'm apparently notorious for thinking and saying that dragons need to be everywhere because they make everything better. I stand corrected.For some reason, I wasn't aware at first that this was a collaboration or I might have been more careful. Unfortunately, I didn't and then the usual problem arose: the beginning was good enough but after about halfway through the book, a certain element is introduced ((view spoiler)[the demon named Pestilence that wants to open an inter-dimensiona...
Welcome to Disneyland!This novel is either bizarro fiction, a novel written on a methamphetamine nightmare, or it's a flip off for all the horror fans who've enjoyed too much of a good thing, namely blood, gore, and more blood.The trick is to have us first CARE for the victims or possible heroes first. Failing that, we need to have a really compelling reason to hate them and want to see them die horrible, nasty, brutish deaths... EVENTUALLY.In this case, we're given no foreplay.It's just a carni...
The Haunted Forest Tour is a fast-paced read with an abundance of horrific creatures and excessive carnage mixed with cheesy dialogue.This is B-horror at its finest. Lots of fun and nostalgia; woefully little substance.I didn't love the book as much as I wanted. The never-ending diatribe about Hannah's chest and Barbara's ass grew tiresome. But it was a wild ride. I had a blast discovering the plethora of inspired monsters. My favorite was (view spoiler)[the jumping skeletal humanoid. The idea i...
Wow! This was an action packed blood and gore infested horror romp!A little backstory:Come one, come all and take a ride into the haunted forest where you will see amazing creatures the likes of what you have never seen before!There are trams on tracks that take tourists through a haunted forest with all kinds of oddball creatures and the tourists are hoping to get glimpses of the creatures that are roaming through the forest! However, with any maiden voyage though comes unexpected problems
sometimes a person is just in the mood for a fun, dumb rollercoaster ride of horror thrills AND if that rollercoaster is at least competently built then I will probably enjoy myself AND this was a competently written ride so I did enjoy myself, it was a breeze to read, I mean it's not like the writing wowed me in any way but it was easy going down, and up, and down again AND even though Strand and Moore write like polished tv sitcom writers who could care less about things like "depth" or "nuanc...
Starts with a great creature feature Jurassic Park premise, but gets too weird after that. Enjoyable only for the high body count, creative beasties and moments of fun writing. Had I been able to connect with the characters it might have been fantastic. As is, a decent monster mash for Halloween time.
This was great!! It literally had everything, complete horror but black humor thrown in which eases the discomfort of some of the shocks. Highly recommend this book, Jeff Strand and James A.Moore have imaginations on overdrive. What horrific fun! Someday I will read again, even writing this makes me smile at how fun (sick) this book was!!!Two years later! This is still one of my favorite books, I will definitely read this book again! Love, luv, luv!!💕
So I gave this book a 2.5 stars. This book had the potential to be a really great horror or paranormal story, also from the reviews I’ve read on this author he’s supposed to be funny and witty. This book had none of that , it started off really strong and then almost immediately blood and guts just gross. That is not my thing so the first part I was like ok that is the setup for the story so I let it slide then the set up for the characters and these characters had the potential to be great but
Excuse the pun, but this really kinda went off the rails.The idea is this: A random forest sprouts in the desert, bringing with it a host of terrifying monsters. Four years later, it's basically Monster Jurassic Park, with tourists coming from all over the world to jump in a tram that travels through the forest, stopping regularly so that all the weird and murderous wonderful creatures can be seen. Naturally, things go horribly wrong.I really love the premise. I'm a big fan of monsters, carnage,...
