Su***de Forest
World's Scariest Places Book 1
Published: 14, December 2014
Author: Jeremy Bates
Genres: Action, Adventure, American, Anthologies, Classics, Fantasy, Fiction, First Person Narrative, Horror, Literature, Movie Tie-In, Mystery, Psychological, Shape Shifter, Supernatural, Suspense, Teen, Thrillers, Werewolf, Young Adult

The Review:
This novel is set in Japan's famously terrifying Su***de Forest. I'm glad the author was able to capture the majority of the terrifying atmosphere, and he did a fantastic job of making the reader use all five senses while reading this well-crafted work.

First person narration is one of my favorite storytelling styles, and this book has it, with the main character narrating everything that happens. Normally, any good book transports you to a world that feels like a movie playing in your head, but I believe a first-person narrative does the job best.

As all Jeremy Bates fans are already aware of his character development and how realistic his characters are, they can be so real and annoying that many readers begin to dislike the book rather than understanding his brilliant writing. The simple fact that they do not understand is that if all of the characters are perfect, there will be no more stories, just as Superman cannot be loved because he is perfect. (Because the topic of Superman is vast, we should discuss it when I review any book or comic featuring him.)

I had no intention of starting this series, but after reading and reviewing four books in a row from “The World's Scariest Legends” Series, I decided to continue and finish this one also, so that I could have a full author page of Mr. Jeremy Bates ready to show his fans.

The thing about this author's characters is that you either despise or love them, and you feel their pain. Furthermore, the stories can be quite frightening, depending on who is reading them.

I observed something in one of the earlier books, and that was the author's expertise of Japan and its culture, and this book proves it once more. The last book I saw it in was The Man From Taured, and he conducts insane amounts of research on the book and topic he is writing about, which is a fantastic characteristic in a writer who chooses to write about tales and genuine places from our real-world but adds his own twist to them.

The way this novel sneaks up on you is terrifying, and if you read it before or near bedtime, chances are you won't be able to sleep; it features a lot of gore from previously dead bodies, as well as a touch of the otherworldly.

A slightly large and creepy book that can be finished in two to three sittings unless you plan to stay awake all night. I enjoyed the story and narrative style, but I had some concerns about things that had just happened and the reader was not aware of, such as the equipment that suddenly becomes available even though the party was not prepared for it. However, I believe the author assumed that the readers are intelligent enough to understand that when someone plans to leave for an adventure, they pack everything necessary for the trip.

Synopsis:
“OVER ONE MILLION READERS HAVE TAKEN THE JOURNEY TO THE WORLD'S SCARIEST PLACES. NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.

From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Jeremy Bates comes a tale of mystery and horror set in Japan's ancient Su***de Forest, a place that is easy to enter but, for some, impossible to leave. Goodreads Choice Awards finalist for horror. For fans of Stephen King.

Just outside of Tokyo lies Aokigahara, a vast forest and one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in Japan...and also the most infamous spot to commit su***de in the world. Legend has it that the spirits of those many su***des are still roaming, haunting deep in the ancient woods.

When bad weather prevents a group of friends from climbing neighboring Mt. Fuji, they decide to spend the night camping in Aokigahara. But they get more than they bargained for when one of them is found hanged in the morning—and they realize there might be some truth to the legends after all.”

Merfolk
World's Scariest Legends Book 4
Published: 21, June 2021
Author: Jeremy Bates
Genres: Action, Adventure, American, Anthologies, Classics, Crime, Fantasy, Fiction, Horror, Mystery, Psychological, Science Fiction, Sea, Supernatural, Suspense, Teen, Thrillers, Young Adult

The Review:
Another thrilling horror that is similar to a crash course in marine biology and discusses the legend of mermaids and mermen in detail, but with a twist: these mermaids and mermen are not the kind of mermaids and mermen readers are used to reading about in children's books or romance novels.

I was actually surprised by the amount of detailed research done by Jeremy Bates for all of his books, as well as the knowledge I gained from reading them. Yes, not all readers will enjoy the book, as with the others in the series, but I enjoyed it and the others because of the slow burn and the information I gained from them.

Despite the fact that I am not a fan of mermaid stories, I decided to read this book because I had already read the previous three books in the series, and even though these books are all stand alone, I read them all and was not disappointed, except for the short length and rushed ending of this book.

Unlike previous books in the series, this one made me turn page after page until I was finished, and then I realized it was already morning and I was still in my bed, as I always do when reading books. Fortunately, I don't have to go to the office because my job consists solely of reading, writing, and reviewing books, as well as a few other projects. Essentially, I am my own boss.

This book is not as large as the books I usually read, but it was a fast paced read even with its slow paced information sessions, which are not bad and boring if you are interested in learning about these legends.

It has some intriguing plot twists and turns, but one thing bothered me: I felt the ending was rushed, and I wanted more, a lot more because I believe this book needed at least a hundred more pages after the vast amount of information it provided.

It can be totally boring or one of the most exciting books to a reader but it depends on what is the taste and thinking of the person who is reading. And I think that is the simplest way to explain this book. For me, it was a blast and a great read but just because I am into this kind of stuff. I am recommending it but with fewer points than it actually deserves so, I can justify this to the nonfans and action oriented readers.

Readers who are afraid of water because they have seen or read Peter Benchley's Jaws should not read this book while at the beach or if they intend to go to the beach. Even though it is not particularly frightening, it may frighten the readers mentioned in this paragraph.

The author has his own distinct style, which his fans adore. I am saddened at times to see fake reviews of his books, and I know who is to blame, but I don't want to say who because I believe everyone who reads these books can figure it out. Furthermore, readers who are clearly action oriented and dislike the slow burn or too much education in a subject of the book in hand are the ones who give it low ratings, which is fine, but fake reviews are not.

Synopsis:
“From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Jeremy Bates comes the latest book in the bestselling WORLD'S SCARIEST LEGENDS series.

A renowned marine biologist’s search for creatures known only in myths and legends turns deadly when the hunters become the hunted.

"Jeremy Bates knows how to sneak up on readers and scare them senseless. In Merfolk Bates unleashes a chilling adventure tale that's loaded to the gills with suspense, mystery, and scientific terror. If you love old-school movie monsters, don't miss out—Merfolk is Creature from the Black Lagoon for the Netflix generation."
—Brandon McNulty, author of BAD PARTS and ENTRY WOUNDS

"Merfolk: World's Scariest Legends 4 is a study in horror thriller experiences that will delight those who like nautical intrigue and tension. It joins other "World's Scariest" collections by Bates, yet stands on its own as a powerful saga of literary terror and intrigue."
—Midwest Book Review

“A terrifying page-turner, Merfolk gives readers yet another reason not to swim in the ocean. Jeremy Bates is the real deal.”
—Flint Maxwell, author of THE DARK WINTER”

The Man From Taured
World's Scariest Legends Book 3
Published: 11, February 2020
Author: Jeremy Bates

Genres: Action, Alternate History, American, Classics, Fantasy, Fiction, Horror, Literary, Literature, Movie Tie-In, Mystery, Psychological, Science Fiction, Supernatural, Suspense, Teen, Thrillers, Young Adult

The Review:
This is the story of a man from another dimension who came to our world in the year 2020 via interdimensional travel. This book was much better than the previous two books in the Legends series, Mosquito Man and The Sleep Experiment.

The beginning was incredible, but the middle was slow to the point of curing insomnia for some readers. For others who love technical stuff and want to know more about the subject of the book, it is highly recommended because it explains in crazy detail about dimensions and interdimensional travel and its possibilities.

The book is well-written and gives a great deal of information. However, readers will disagree with the style and information provided because not everyone wants to go into detail about how something happened in a story; instead, they want the story to move forward. However, in this book, progress is made at a glacial pace.

It was a wonderful read for someone like me because I belong to the group of readers who love to know everything that happens in the story, which is why I gave it a bit higher rating than it deserves for readers who don't like this kind of explanation.

Continuing from the previous paragraph, it was a fascinating and gripping story that demonstrated author Jeremy Bates' talent, knowledge, writing abilities, and research.

I had some issues with the main character's love interests and some sluggish speed issues, but I was still enamored with what I read. As stated at the outset of this review, I recommend this novel to patient readers.

This info may not matter to many readers but while reading this book, I felt the author's knowledge of Japan, its language and customs, as well as a lot about French colloquialism, and it made me respect him as an author even more.

Synopsis:
“From international bestselling author Jeremy Bates comes the third book in the WORLD'S SCARIEST LEGENDS series.

Ever been to Taured before? No? In fact, you’ve never heard of it? Well, neither had the rest of the world when in July of 2020 a European businessman shows up at Tokyo International Airport claiming to not only hail from the non-existent country but produces a legitimate passport.

What follows is a breakneck tale full of mystery, intrigue, and action that will keep you turning pages well past your bedtime.”

The Sleep Experiment
World's Scariest Legends Book 2
Published: 27, August 2019
Author: Jeremy Bates

Genres: Movie Tie-In, Fiction, Horror, Classics, Psychological, Thrillers, Supernatural, Literary, Literature, Suspense, Teen, Young Adult, Fantasy, Mystery, Alternate History, Science Fiction

The Review:
This story has it all: it's part horror, part suspense, and part thriller. Mr. Bates' writing was both incisive and vivid. The characters were convincing and realistic but stereotypical to the point of cringe overload. The plot of the narrative seems credible. The reader can infer that an experiment comparable to Dr. Wallis' was conducted. That just adds to the dread of this novel.

I was interested in learning more about the real "Russian Sleep Experiment" after hearing about it on a shady YouTube channel, but when I discovered that it was true, it piqued my interest because I have had some experience with the long-term effects of sleep deprivation, such as uncontrollable laughter and seeing sudden movements and shadows around you that may or may not be real, but I never looked into it further because the body simply can't stay awake after a few days.

The title of this book was the first thing that drew me into the series, and I believe that it perfectly captures the real story in its own twisted and unexpected way. But keep in mind that it isn't just about that Russian experiment; rather, it expands on it and creates its own world, characters, and situations.

Slow to begin, but that's what a slow burn is all about when you reach the boiling point and begin to see the truth you've been waiting to see since the first page. Not a huge book and can be finished in one or two sittings.

The way antihero is written is so good that you'll hate him on one page and then want to support and help him on the next. That is what a great author can do to the emotions of his or her readers. Yes, you will smell the cringe all around you as you read about the characters in this novel, but it was only a small part of the story, so I will not deduct points for it.

The World's Scariest Legends is supposed to be a series, but all of the books are standalone stories based on true stories. I'm glad I found this series, and I'm not going to hate the author or the series because of something that was specifically written to add to the story, because diverse and flawed characters are an important part of any story, and if everyone is perfect, the story will end on one page. So just read it without any preconceived notions and enjoy it.

Synopsis:
““SHOCKING...TERRIFYING"—Entertainment Weekly
From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Jeremy Bates comes the second book in the all-new WORLD'S SCARIEST LEGENDS series.

In 1954, at the start of the Cold War, the Soviet military offered four political prisoners their freedom if they participated in an experiment requiring them to remain awake for fourteen days while under the influence of a powerful stimulant gas. The prisoners ultimately reverted to murder, self-mutilation, and madness.
None survived.

In 2018, Dr. Roy Wallis, an esteemed psychology professor at UC Berkeley, is attempting to recreate the same experiment during the summer break in a soon-to-be demolished building on campus. He and two student assistants share an eight-hour rotational schedule to observe their young Australian test subjects around the clock.

What begins innocently enough, however, morphs into a nightmare beyond description that no one could have imagined—with, perhaps, the exception of Dr. Roy Wallis himself.”

Mosquito Man
World's Scariest Legends Book 1
Published: 13, February 2019
Author: Jeremy Bates

Genres: Alternate History, Fantasy, Fiction, Ghost, Horror, Literature, Monster, Mysteries, Psychological, Science Fiction, Supernatural, Suspense, Teen, Thrillers, Young Adult

The Review:
This was a terrifying story that made me wonder what new terrors awaited me around the corner, and it was well worth the effort to find out what they were. It's the first installment in the World's Scariest Tales series, and it's based on "true" legends from around the globe. More characters and backstories are revealed as the story progresses, as are the horrors of the past and those who have returned to the present. I admire this author's work; if you read one of his books, you will not be disappointed.

People compare this author to Stephen King, but I must clarify that he is not Stephen King, but he can write well in his own style, create complex characters, and is fantastic at world-building.

The story may seem slow to action-oriented readers, but what is happening is that you are being introduced to the characters and receiving minute-by-minute commentary from them as they progress. The beginning is fast but slows down, then it picks up speed again until you reach the amazing ending, and I believe many readers will be divided as to whether it was great or not. But it was incredible for me.

Finally, I must admit that it was a little disappointing, and I'm not sure why. Maybe I was expecting too much, or the never-ending talks made it a little slower for my taste because I don't like fillers in anything just to make it longer, but I can understand talks that are actually informative, and this book was filled with those talks, but I was still unhappy about some things. It's still a fantastic read, but don't go in with high hopes or you'll be disappointed.

If you just start reading without thinking about who wrote it and wait for a "loud bang at the door," you'll be in a fast-paced survival situation, which is exactly what I look for in a book like this. Why not give it a shot? The book is only about 300 pages long and is a quick read.

Synopsis:
“If you've ever been in a remote area when something terrible goes wrong, then you know the fear of utter helplessness. Mosquito Man nails this. A superbly crafted psychological thriller." (New York Journal of Books)

From USA Today and number-one Amazon best-selling author Jeremy Bates comes the first book in the all-new World's Scariest Legends series.

After a woman bangs at the door in the middle of the night and promptly dies from her injury, a couple's remote cabin getaway becomes a psychological night of terror as they are hunted by an unknown assailant. Now they must go far beyond what they thought themselves capable of if they hope to save their young children and survive until morning.”

The Girl With All the Gifts
Published: June 2014
Author: M. R. Carey (Mike Carey)
Part of: Girl With All The Gifts (2 books)

Genres: Action, Dystopian, Fantasy, Fiction, Horror, Movie Tie-In, Post-Apocalyptic, Science Fiction, Supernatural, Survival, Suspense, Thriller, Zombies

The Review:
A post-apocalyptic zombie thriller with a unique twist that is an incredible yet gruesome page-turner Even the worst of the villains are intriguing, and reading well-written female characters is a breath of fresh air. A must-read for all the zombie genre fans.

If you've seen the movie but haven't read the book, skip the movie and read the book instead; it's a lot better and a little different. I read the book first and then watched the movie, and it's a good thing I did because I would never have read the book after watching the movie for obvious reasons, but the movie isn't bad on its own.

One of its most powerful aspects is the depth of its characters, followed by a story that is related to the zombie apocalypse but different enough to set it apart from all the generic zombie novels. The main character's innocence and intelligence are so beautiful that you may want to cry for her, but she is more than capable of handling herself and standing up to protect someone she cares about.

The first half is a fast-paced, well-written narrative that will make you think about and care about an unusual character, something you might not do in a typical zombie novel.

Because it was originally a short story that was expanded to make a full novel, the second half feels rushed and not as good as the first. It's not bad, but when you compare both halves, it feels a little off. One of the most incredible aspects is that the ending actually connects all of the threads and nicely concludes the story.

This book has a prequel, "The Boy on the Bridge, https://amzn.to/3joQpSX " but both books can be read as standalone. If you never read that book, it won't matter, but I still recommend it because it's not bad.

The audio version of this novel is also excellent, and I recommend purchasing it or using the link here to get a free trial version and the book if you do not already have an audible account: https://amzn.to/3B59C27

Synopsis:
“Melanie is a very special girl. Dr Caldwell calls her "our little genius."

Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class. When they come for her, Sergeant keeps his gun pointing at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they don't like her. She jokes that she won't bite, but they don't laugh.

The Girl With All the Gifts is a groundbreaking thriller, emotionally charged and gripping from beginning to end.”
