Recently finished THE SCREAM by John Skipp and Craig Spector and was amazed at how talented these guys are. They can tell one hell of a story. In THE SCREAM, Jake, a Vietnam vet and leader of a heavy metal band, jousts with Christian fundamentalists campaigning against what they see as Satanic rock music. What neither understands is that mega-cult band The Scream is actually using their music to plant the seeds of slaughter and literally raise Hell. Grounded in rich detail about the rock industr

The defining 1980s splatterpunk novel and the pinnacle of Skipp and Spector's collaboration. What I'd give for a copy of The Scream's "Critical Mass" CD! One of the most entertaining horror novels ever written.

The Scream by John Skipp and Craig Spector wasn't much of a fun read for me. I loved the descriptions of the band members, fans, and the life styles of both, but for
the most part the book felt like a mess of undicisive writing. Half the time I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on and when I did think I knew what was
happening I didn't know why. I hated the dream-like quality of this novel. Perhaps it was the purpose of the authors to write a book that felt like More...

The perfect early-80s rock and roll horror novel. It takes the whole Satanic Metal/PMRC scare thing and takes it to its logical conclusion. I'm also convinced that Joss Whedon borrowed some elements of this for the Judge plotline in Buffy, but that's neither here nor there.

It's hard to impress me with a horror book because I not only do I require good writing, I want to feel creeped out. This is a fast moving story and there are quite a few characters to follow. It's scary!

Hahahah! I read this Rock n Roll horror novel when I was 17 and just picked it up again out of nostalgia. It's not very well written, but it's entertaining in the way trashy reading can sometimes be.

A great, big, wild rock and roll horror novel by the masters of 'splatterpunk', Skipp and Spector. It isn't a perfect novel, but it is such a daring book that asks big questions in such a fearless style that you can't help but love it. Highly recommended.

Just an excellent book. Combines rock and roll and graphic horror, a match made in heaven and hell. My favorite of teh Skipp and Spector books.
