Endurance (A Novel of Terror) Review

I think that the scariest thing Jack Kilborn has written is the opening chapter of Afraid. In second place is Endurance. I do most of my reading in bed late at night, and this book actually caused me to get up and check the basement because I was 100% sure that I heard something down there. Suddenly my bedroom was a creepy inn way out in the back country, with something scary moving through the walls. I haven't been so freaked out late at night since the time I read Children of the Corn at 3AM with some minor insomnia! I was reading this on my Kindle 3, so I basically had a built-in nightlight - and that didn't really help at all.

The characters are great: an athletic with no legs, a charming reporting, a mother-daughter-granddaughter combo, and a whole bunch of freaks. You'll be cheering for the good guys every step of the way. The action is fast, the book is a real page turner, and it is SCARY and SATISFYING. You'll be scared along the way and relieved when it is all over. An overall great experience.

Endurance (A Novel of Terror) Overview

An original full-length horror novel, not available in print, on sale for a limited time.

WELCOME TO THE RUSHMORE INN

The bed and breakfast was hidden in the hills of West Virginia. Wary guests wondered how it could stay in business at such a creepy, remote location. Especially with its bizarre, presidential decor and eccentric proprietor.

ONCE YOU CHECK IN...

When the event hotel for the national Iron Woman triathlon accidentally overbooked, competitor Maria was forced to stay at the Rushmore. But after checking into her room, she quickly realized she wasn't alone. First her suitcase wasn't where she put it. Then her cell phone was moved. Finally, she heard an odd creaking under the bed. Confusion quickly turned to fear, and fear to hysteria when she discovered the front door was barred and the windows were bricked over. There was no way out.

...YOU'LL BE DYING TO LEAVE

One year later, four new female athletes have become guests of the Inn. Will they escape the horrors within its walls? Or will they join the many others who have died there, in ways too terrible to imagine?

ENDURANCE by Jack Kilborn
Are you brave enough to finish?

Extasis of Terror - Jesus Alvarez -
If you used to enjoy Stephen Kings' novels but lately you have found out that his novels do not offer anymore "fresh blood", then you get to my situation in which I have no heading for a nice terror reading, let me tell you to give a chance to this novel, you won't be dissapointed, I hadn't enjoy a terror reading since Dan Simmons "The Terror" (good one btw). But be advised , read this novel at your own risk.

I have enjoyed so much the reading that now I am reading Jack Kilborn "Horror Stories" and afterwards I will start with "Afraid" , and somehow I know for sure I won't be dissapointed, anyway I will let you know about the reading.

Thanks Jack!!!

Seriously ??? Terrible ... - Vik Mehta - mishawaka,in usa
Wow. What a stupid book. I can not believe I wasted time reading this ....it was not scary at all ... Just gory
Spoiler alert ...
This story had so many holes that made it completely ridiculous ....
500 hundred people disappear in a small town ... All going for the same race ... None of them told anyone where they were going.... Or that they got a free room in a hotel that nobody but them can find ... Genetic freaks with mutations so bad that they wouldn't live past a few months .... And that are so easy to kill .... Yet no one has ever gotten away from them before ... And then throw in a mountain lion (WTF?) ....

Love it - C. Lefeve - Virginia
I was really hoping that Endurance would live up to my expectations (especially after reading Trapped) and JA Konrath did not fail to dissapoint. Intriguing 'til the end (I hope there is a sequel)... It reminded me of the old X-Files episode "Home" which remains my favorite episode of all time. If you are a person who gets creeped out easily, beware!

Very Intense at the start... - D. Jenkins -
This story had a beginning that was one of the most intense that I have read recently. I felt the thumping of my heart as I continued into the story. The first 1/3 of the book is excellent, heart-pounding terror. Unfortunately, it's hard to maintain that sustained level of terror, and though the book is well-written and is an interesting story that kept me captivated throughout, it kind of became more of an adventure story then a "terror" story. Overall, I was very satisfied with the story and am eagerly looking forward to reading Trapped. Again, the first 1/3 of the book is incredible and put me on the edge of my seat like no other book I have read recently. Definitely recommended!
