I won't say that this is Keene's strongest work... but it certainly is one of the more fun books in his cannon. Take a bunch of stereotypical reality TV people, slap them on a deserted island a la Survivor, and then add in some cannibal pygmies... great stuff.

I really hate reality TV, so I balked at first when I realized that it was at the center of the plot of the book. But Keene has created some fun characters to follow through the almost 300 pages of this tale. There is substantial gore and a...more

Words fail me. That's how bad this book is...compared to his other books which are great reads. It was formulaic, the characters were annoying, and the pop-culturish quality of the story was off putting for some reason.

Maybe it's just because Jack Ketchum's Off Season is a brilliant take on inbred cave dwellers clashing with society that anything else pales by comparison.

From the start, this book is very much an homage to Richard Laymon. The style, plot, and actions all follow what you would find in a Laymon novel. Keene uses the Afterword to explain some of the history behind the idea moving from short story to novel; you can read those details yourself in the book. I will state that as a fan of both Laymon and Keene, I loved the book!

The story follows a reality show cast as they proceed through their daily challenges. Not realizing of course that their challen...more

I even remember the first time I saw it - I was walking down the center aisle of my local Barnes and Noble, and there it was, chillin' on the round center display that houses new-release mass market paperbacks. A book with an image on its cover of scary, killer worms working on devouring an entire city. After visiting Barnes and Noble several more times that spring, I finally gave in and bought a copy. I was hooked on Brian Keene's novels from that day forward.

In Castaways, a group of reality-show contestants are competing against one another to be the last person left standing on a small island. In the style of Survivor, contestants vote for the person they want banished from the island, and the last person who remains after completing all the challenges and without being voted off the island is awarded one million dollars.

When tropical storm Ivan threatens to ravage the island, the contestants are left behind without radio contact with the show's producers. It's only then that the contestants learn that the island is truly not deserted at all, and are forced to survive and protect themselves from the monstrous indigenous people who are beginning to take out the contestants, one by one.

Castaways is one of many books in its genre I refer to as "horror candy." Any free time I had during the days I read Castaways, I was desperate to pick up where I left off and lose myself in Keene's horrifying world. The novel is jam-packed with action, and contains a few red herrings that legitimately took me by surprise.

My favorite character in Castaways is Matthew. His diatribe into government conspiracy, corporate America, and pop-culture will likely be found agreeable and interesting to most (they are to me!). I even mentioned my thoughts about the views expressed by Matthew on Twitter, to which @BrianKeene replied, "That was the fun part of writing that character." I love it! I bet it certainly was.

The monsters who terrorize the contestants in Castaways are incredibly freaky and scary - especially for women readers. I conjured up my own images of the monsters based on my personal visits to the Museum of Man in San Diego, which was home to several naked cavemen and "evolution" exhibits that gave me nightmares after I saw them at the age of 9. Let's just say hairy, bulbous, deformed penises are involved, and leave the rest to your imagination, or to Keene's own explicit descriptions of them in Castaways.

Everything about Castaways is satisfying - from the plot, to the surprises, to all the elements of horror. Fans of this genre and of Brian Keene should definitely not miss out on Castaways. Upon finishing this novel, I closed it with a smile on my face, thinking this was exactly what I needed to satisfy my October horror-reading fix.

Although Castaways is an entertaining novel, once the premise is set up, events begin to unfold in a fashion you pretty much expect. Knowing the idea is based on the reality show, Survivor, I would have liked Keene to shift the rules of the game around to make it his own. I also felt characters died before you really got to know them, and everything seemed to happen so fast, it felt more like a novella than a novel.

Keene himself admits in the Author's Note that the tale was originally spawned as a short story for inclusion in an anthology dedicated to Richard Laymon, and borrowed Laymon's "Beast House" creatures and concept for expansion into this novel. Regardless of the borrowed ideas, Castaways does have its own spin on the "creatures kidnap women for inter-species breeding theme" by setting the story on a remote tropical island and framing it around a self-titled reality show. Even after slogging through Casyaways, I still think this concept is an interesting premise for a horror story, but this novel simply wasn't executed well.

There is nothing especially terrible about the writing; the narrative is fast-paced and interesting enough up to a point -- approximately chapter four or five is when I began to grow weary of the one-dimensional characters and their utterly predictable reactions. The dialogue is believable, just not interesting. You have stereotypical Bad Boy, Hot Girl, Athlete, Girl Next Door, etc. competing on the reality show Castaways, which is a thinly-veiled version of "Survivor." There is no way to do justice to these character types given the set-up of the premise: they are supposed to be stereotypes, chosen for the show specifically because they fit a certain mold. The two main "likable" characters Jerry and Becka develop a tedious romantic attachment, while the resident star of the show Stefan comes across as the selfish, manipulative jerk his is meant to be. At one point halfway through the story, Stefan makes a token reference to The Token Black Guy - his supposed ally - using the "N" word that seems to serve no purpose other than prompting a discussion with another character to confirm Stefan's membership in the racist white boy's club.

My interest in the story rose a notch with the potential subplot of political terrorism when one of the characters is revealed as a covert member of the Sons of the Constitution, but this thread was overshadowed by the pulp-style attack of the creatures after a hurricane blows through the island. The creatures are described as smelly Bigfoot-style hominids whose dwindling population has resulted in birth defects due to inbreeding - thus, the males' decision to kill the intruders but keep the women alive as breeders. This description implies there is narrative dedicated to the tribe of creatures apart from the cast, but there is only a brief segment of the story featuring the tribe's actions when they are not terrorizing the Castaways contestants. Frankly, the creatures simply aren't that scary. Keene relies on the inclusion of two rape scenes and the suspenseful knowledge of the creatures' intent leading up to the women's kidnapping to deliver a sense of "horror" to the book.

This novel had the potential to deliver true horror, but fell short. However, if you are a fan of mindless, predictable horror stories then Castaways might be the book for you. The theme of this story is similar to Ghouls in which the creatures kidnap women for breeding purposes. I never finished Ghouls for the same reasons I began skimming Castaways. I made it to the end of the novel, but having tried Keene's writing twice with similar results, I doubt I will purchase another of his books.

About halfway through Brian Keene’s Castaways, one is reminded of that infamous tagline from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: “Who will survive and what will be left of them?” Indeed, after this white-knuckle fiction screamfest, there may be very little left of readers’ nerves. Relentlessly frightening and viscerally brutal, Castaways combines non-stop action with an old school horror abandon that gives readers scarce time to come up for air.

I'm not sure what to say about this book. It wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't "great" either. It didn't capture me the way that I had hoped. Some books are too slow and leisurely. This book was just the opposite. It was too fast-paced, and therefore lacked any real suspense.

So I just finished Brian Keene's "Castaways". Here's what I thought. "Castaways" was a fun, quick read but not really all that satisfying. It is the story of a group of contestants who are on a "Survivor" type reality show who are stranded on an island with carnivorous, rape-y subhuman creatures. The creatures are smallish, kind of monkey-like but with wicked claws and teeth. They have been inbreeding for who knows how long and they need to widen the gene pool so they want to kill the men and ta...more

Another great and immersible horror from a talented author. 4.5 of 5 really. My favorite theme of Keene's besides the zombies and worms.

When giving praise to talented authors. I say certain themes can often be lost to the genres that birthed them. Not that I have read many stories about carnivorous creatures vs. regular city folks. When it comes to Brian Keene, he is able to take a set of characters, a setting, and leave his brand seared and crispy into the fatty flesh of the situation.

At times this book had a violence-and-rape p*rn vibe to it--as in, there was a bit too much loving detail given to describing the extreme violence and brutal rapes.

In the author’s notes, he claims “I generally try not to repeat themes.” Reading this directly after reading Urban Gothic, I have to give a resounding HA!

The story begins mid-way through the filming of Castaways, a reality television show (a thinly veiled fictionalization of Survivor) that been on for a while. This season is on an uninhabited island in the South Pacific. Becka is swimming to shore in the midst of a challenge when Jerry, another contestant, stops to offer her help. Initially leery, she accepts his help and once ashore, is quickly talked into an alliance. They begin chatting up other contestants, including the foul-mouthed Troy. All of them are aware that once their current completion is out of the way, they will turn on each other.

They don’t realize they’re being observed by a tribe of inbred mutant beings who are hungry for meat. These aren’t mindless beasts; they’re capable of rational thought and planning. Their plan is to eat the men and try to breed with the women. If that doesn’t work, they’ll eat the women too.

As a tropical storm heads toward the island, everyone but a three man camera crew leaves the island for the big ship that houses the rest of the crew, producers, and contestants who’ve already last. The contestants separate into small groups for interviews, gathering food, and conversation.

And then all hell breaks loose as a contestant who is there for a purpose other than fame strikes and the tribe of beings began their attack.

This is fast paced and there are plenty of disgusting passages, but I still had a hard time putting it down. I appreciated the cunning of the characters, the resolution, and, as sappy as it may sound, the show of what a human’s survival instinct can do.

And despite the nasty language, I really did like Troy, whose volatile nature is key. When he finally has decides that he has had an f******-nough of these f****** mother-f******, I wanted to cheer. And while that isn’t a direct quote, that is pretty much how Troy talks.

The beings however, once again are fantastic villains because you don’t feel sorry for them. This isn’t a forgivable cultural foible, they aren’t just killing for food; they delight in it. They laugh as their victims cry out in agony. And even the feeblest is so inbred, wretched, and disgusting that you feel no pity.

Bottom-line: As an introduction to Brian Keene, this would be a good place to start. Really ease your way into the bloody mayhem.

In the Keene Universe (there is one, trust me), Castaways is their equivalent of our Survivor. Contestants compete for immunity, create alliances and backstab each other in order to be the last one on the island and walk away with $1,000,000.

Of course this works better on deserted islands -- not ones where the inhabitants are laying in wait. It's also a good idea to do thorough background checks on the contestants and you probably want to suspend the show during dangerous cyclones.

Another entry in the sizeable catalog of mid-list horror king Brian Keene, "Castaways" is essentially a riff on the reality show "Survivor" and what would happen if the island that the cast was placed on was already inhabited by a tribe of flesh-eating missing links.

Reality TV has been ripe for genre deconstruction, practically from the moment it entered the public consciousness. With its cachet of conflicting personalities, frequent premises involving isolation, and of course the inherent voyeuristic delight that drives it, the format is tailor-made for sharp-witted horror authors. Taking its cue from SURVIVOR, Brian Keene's CASTAWAYS is among the first to explore this new territory, expanding his novella from 2004's FEAR OF GRAVITY to novel length.

But that's just for the men. They have something else in store for the women - they're planning to breed with them to save their dying, inbred species.

The plot isn't very original, but I was willing to overlook that because I love Brian Keene. You can definitely tell that it's an homage to Richard Laymon. There's tons of blood and gore. Lots of descriptions of ripping skin off and eating organs. And too many descriptions of the monsters' penises. I get that they were trying to breed, but how many times do you have to mention them? We get the picture, move on.

The pace is slow for the first few chapters, bogged down by explanations of how the reality show works. It's unnecessary for everyone who has seen Survivor and makes the beginning boring. But after that, the pace picks up.

The characters also slow down the story. There are too many to keep track of, and most of them have their own back story, even though they get killed off immediately. The book is too short (about 300 pages) for 10+ characters. I couldn't keep track of who was who, until the beasts narrowed down the contestants.

Also, all of the characters were stereotypes. I know that reality shows choose stereotypes, but I thought that Keene would make them deeper than they appear. Nope. There's the average guy, the girl next door, the bimbo, the token black guy and black girl, and more. But none of these characters are fleshed out more.

Except for the main character's apparent interest in cryptozoology. How convenient, he can identify what the creatures on the island are. I know sometimes books use things that make no sense to further the plot, but making cryptozoology his hobby is just ridiculous.

I don't want to give anything away, so all I will say about the ending is that it was disappointing. Everything was wrapped up too nicely. I had some ideas of how it could end, but unfortunately none of those happened.

But it did keep my interest and it was very gory. While it could've been much better, it wasn't that bad, and will keep you entertained if you can get over the slow beginning, the many stereotypical characters and the let-down ending.
