    <body><![CDATA[Brian Keene is one of my favorite authors. He proved that with this book. He's really good with zombie stories but with me that's pretty easy. 1. Write story. 2. Insert zombies.

    <body><![CDATA[Despite its shortcomings, I really enjoyed this apocalyptic view of the future.  <br/><br/>The book is really told in two stories, one from the old guy living on a mountain and one from some helicopter crash survivors that were holding it together in a skyscraper.<br/><br/>See, the world is floo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19985234">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What I expected from this book was science gone awry. From the look of the cover, I think that I even may have suspected some Tremors-like humor. What I did not expect was the gripping tale of an elderly man in the mist of well...a &quot;Mist&quot;-type horror novel. Brian Keene is like the love chi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40064839">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Incredibly vivid horror tale.  I meant Brian Keene recently and spoke on a panel with him at Hypericon.  It was the actual first horror book I read.  Incredible!!!  It wasn't too gory, but kept you worried the entire time.  I've recently purchased three more of his books.  Stellar person as well as ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61075673">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Over a year ago I read this book. This was my first Brian Keene book and it only took me 12 hours to read. It involved lots of rain and gigantic worms as I recall. The great thing about the telling of this story I liked the orignality. Some may say they've heard or seen it somewhere before, well, I ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21244658">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The Conqueror Worms is my inaugral foray into Brian Keene and in the end without any trepidation I can say it was worth my time.  The story is all a bit strange built on a premise that is completely unbelievable, yet by the end it just makes sense.  I was concerned about the characters at every step...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29263983">more...</a>]]></body>
