BOOK REVIEW of Bishop’s Landing by Richard Forsyth

1. References. Bishop’s Landing by Richard Forsyth, published in New York, publisher Dorchester Publishing Co., Inc., in 1980, 368 pages.

2. Recommendations. a. Recommended Audience. I recommend this book for all horror fans, for those who like to read about haunted houses, phantoms and ghosts. The book was awesome, is one of the most satisfying "haunted house" yarns I have ever read and I highly recommend it. Since then he also penned Kota and Fangs.

3. Analysis of the Author a. Credentials. Richard Forsyth is an American author, best known for his another horror called Fangs. There is absolutely nothing about him anywhere on the internet. b. Sources. Writer Richard Forsythe wrote this book and it was amazing. He also wrote an action adventure book called Kota, and another horror called Fangs (1985). c. Objectivity. Richard Forsyth is a very good storyteller. He is not a narrator of the real facts; he invents his stories and puts them in a way which seems to be real.

4. Analysis of the Content. a. Thesis. A well-intended and seemingly organized psychological research in the area of fears, phobias and panic may turn into a real life experience which goes beyond human control and this might lead to unexpected consequences. b. Synopsis. Dr. Albert Conrad, a clinical psychologist, had been researching the causes and effects of phobias and panic-fear reactions. He developed an experiment to flesh out his research, but he needed a place and stable volunteers. He required one week more for the preparation and one day when he was driving to his parents in law, using a shortcut on his way, he happened to see a house in Bishop’s Landing town. From first sight he knew that that house was the best place for his



References: b. Sources. Writer Richard Forsythe wrote this book and it was amazing. He also wrote an action adventure book called Kota, and another horror called Fangs (1985).

    The first day of shooting the film was on 24th May 1976 but before this many decisions had to be made. Matt Carroll, the producer had to get permission from the author of the book, Colin Thiele who wrote the book in 1963. Once he got permission he had to find the right scriptwriter who could capture the true spirit of the book. Because the book tells the reader a lot of descriptions of the scenery, the film could show the audience in one shot what was written on pages so quite quickly a large section of the book was shown. To make the book into a full-length feature film the scriptwriter had to make the film longer. Sonia Borg became the script writer and to achieve a longer film she introduce new incidents and new characters, and to give more details about some questions which were only mentioned briefly in the book.…

    A Monster Calls, a fiction novel by Patrick Ness, would be rated a 9 out of 10 because it was a beautifully written book that grabbed hold of the audience’s attention and never let it go, but the ending could have been better. This book was chock-full of heart-wrenching, emotion inflicting scenes that could make the most stone cold person cry. The way that Patrick Ness brought Siobhan Dowd’s idea to life was extraordinary. Not only was Patrick Ness able to make an amazing idea into an even more amazing novel, but he also created characters that revealed the complexity of human nature and demonstrated the destruction caused by death. Another thing that was amazing about this book were the illustrations. Jim Kay’s drawings were beautiful, accentuated…

    It was the summer of 1983; I was reading my first Horror novel by Jay Anson “The Amityville Horror”, it was the scariest thing I had ever picked up. Despite the late hours I continued to read into the early morning hours until my eyes burned for relief. Whenever I got up to use the rest room I would stand on the end of my bed lean over and open the door and jump so not to be grabbed by monsters that might be laying in wait under my bed. This started a long love affair for horror stories.…

    The Death Cure Review

    One thing James Dashner is good at is Storytelling. Making up this world and coming up with all the plot twists, he's a very talented writer. He tends to write creating suspense, making the next plot twist come at the right moment and right time, making you want to go on to the next chapter. James made it literally impossible for me to try and figure out what was going to happen. Like many of the characters in the book, I had no idea who I could trust or believe. Some of the plot twists and answers some things I questioned, but overall it was a fast-paced tale that easily drew me in, and it will draw you in too that’s why I recommend this book to everyone.…
