Capture The Lords Of Salem Authored By Rob Zombie Available In PDF

been a long time since I've read a horror book that genuinely creeped me out the whole way through, I was seriously looking at the shadows in the corners of my house suspiciously while reading it, Deliciously gory from the first chapter to the end, Ive been looking forward to reading this book for ages and I must say, it absolutely does not disappoint! In fact, its probably one of the, if not THE best horror book Ive read yet this year.
It takes a lot to make me uncomfortable and I have a very strong stomach when it comes to violence and gore but this book takes it to a whole new level! There were a couple passages where I actually had to stop and collect myself because I felt sick to my stomach.
In the best way possible of course! Ive heard the movie isnt so great I havent watched it so I cant say but dont let that deter you from reading this if youre a horror fan.
Read it and youll love it, I swear, Surprise! Better than the movie, . . i wanted to read the

book first before i actually seen the movie, this is the first book that I have ever read about witches and just even horror in general and man was I hooked, I couldn't put this book down! I love the way robs imagination ran with the characters, it makes you feel like you are one with them, I loved the way the book started and I loved the way it ended, I loved how this creature just consumed you and took control of your body, I loved the way it spoke to you in your head, its a really deep book mentally, I loved it from start to finish!!

hats off to rob zombie! : I honestly am not sure why I read thisI did not love the movie and I could have guessed I was in for more of the same.
I will give it the credit that it gives more information than the movie but that is not really a great thing here, Honestly, while the Salem witch hunts are certainly amazing fodder for fiction, the story just seems to circle around and then land exactly where you thought it would.
I have to say I am a bit surprised to see Zombie come down on the side of the "witches are evil" thingin fact I would say I don't think he feels that wayand that makes all this traditional witch bullshit stuff pretty uninspired.
I get the concept of revenge for the innocent witches read:women that died and maybe even grabbing a horror story from thatbut the idea that the women during the burning times were actually summoning the devil, eating babies and generally just being awful does not really represent the truth or do anything but make the witch hunters look like not so bad dudes just looking to keep the peace.
The truth is that Zombie has a fantastic visual sense and is great showman and musician, He's still struggling to find his voice in other artistic areas and I like to support thatbut he's gonna have to do waaay better.
SE ci si aspetta un horror sottilmente inquietante si resta profondamente delusi, Splatter, trash, a volte scontato ma davvero una lettura godibile, ci riporta ai bei tempi di Lamberto Bava e di alcuni film di Dario Argento I just wanted to start this review by saying I LOVE ROB ZOMBIE.
However, i was very skeptical about reading this book after i read some of the reviews, but i just couldn't help myself,

I absolutely loved this book, Though the beginning started a little slow it morphed into one of the goriest, creepiest, and darkest books i have ever read, The main character Heidi was very likable and her past with her addiction as well as her struggle with her recovery was very easy to relate with.
Even the supporting characters Herman, Whitey, Francis, Chip, Lacy, etc were all great,

The book combined some of the past with the present when it came to the Salem Witch Trails, which when combined with some of the situations and characters made this one creepy book.
The detailing of the rituals and the "nightmares" were so well written that they kept me not only immensely involved in the book but i was on the end of my seat the whole time.


All in all i recommend this book to anyone that likes a truly disturbing story with a lot of gore, It was a good read with the ability to make you double check your surrounding when you are alone and think twice about your nightmares.
Conosco Rob Zombie come Musicista e regista e lo apprezzo molto, ma dopo questa lettura inizierò a rispettarlo anche come scrittore, Non so sino a che punto è stato aiutato da Svenson, ma quello che è venuto fuori è un romanzo gradevole, oscuro, ma allo stesso tempo frizzante.
Non sono mai stato un grade appassionato di stregoneria e satanismo, ma quest'opera mi ha catturato dalla prima all'ultima pagina con il suo incedere costante verso il poderoso finale.

Una lettura che consiglio a tutti gli amanti dei libri che tengono con il fiato sospeso dalla prima all'ultima pagina,
Metto quattro stelline perchè avrei gradito sapere qualcosa in più su qualche personaggio e un finale più chiuso, Ugh. What a disappointment. The premise and concept were interesting, but the execution was awful, I can handle graphic depictions of violence, gore and horror, but only when it serves the plot, Unfortunately after the first part the plot got lost in the shock horror value, I think Rob Zombie should stick to music and movies because he is definitely not a writer, ETA: I should clarify that I lovelovelove horror movies and novels and I wasn't expecting amazing writing, I also wasn't expecting plotless crap especially when the plot had promise, "The book offers a different experience from the film since it can obviously go into much more detail," says Rob Zombie, "The book and the film really complement each other, "

From the singular mind of horror maestro Rob Zombie comes a chilling plunge into a nightmare world where evil runs in the blood.

The Lords of Salem

Heidi Hawthorne is a thirtysevenyearold FM radio DJ and a recovering drug addict, Struggling with her newfound sobriety and creeping depression, Heidi suddenly receives an anonymous gift at the stationa mysteriously shaped wooden box branded with a strange symbol.
Inside the box is a promotional record for a band that identifies themselves only as The Lords, There is no other information,

She decides to play it on the radio show as a joke, and the moment she does, horrible things begin to happen.
The strange music awakens something evil in the town, Soon enough, terrifying murders begin to happen all around Heidi, Who are The Lords What do they want

As old bloodlines are awakened and the bodies start to pile up, only one thing seems certain: all hell is about to break loose.
I love Rob Zombie's films, and I'm sure I'll like the movie of this story, but as far as the novel goes, . . Ugh. I love all of the elements present, such as Salem witch hunters and witches, scary Satanic rituals, mysterious figures in supposedly vacant rooms, a haunted protagonist struggling to stay on the straight and narrow, hidden messages, etc.
But the execution was pretty poor, It's like he took his screenplay, or notes for his screenplay, and very hastily slapped it all together in vaguely narrative format, There were abundant repetitive word choices, and lots of clunky phrasing, There were some great set pieces described, and I could tell some of it would make some great freaky movie scenes, but as a novel it lacked the depth of character and story development to have the impact it should have.
Despite all the violence and monsters and horrific visions, at the end I just kind of went, "Eh, " I was very disappointed because I WANTED it to be the same kind of disposable fun as watching a slasher flick, it's not like I was expecting a lot.
Hmph.,Sterne

Mag als Film funktionieren, im Buchformat aber einfach nur unausgereift und ernüchternd, Sadly this was so boring, It's a slow burn horror with very little horror, The opening and the concept are great, but the delivery was weak,
Lots of repetition. Usually I won't even notice, but it was quite obvious in this book, I wasn't expecting the writing to be amazing, but I wasn't expecting to be bored,
I will say I liked the way the ending went, but I almost DNF'd with five pages left because I was STILL bored.

So good concept, poor delivery, I'm of two minds concerning Mr, Zombie on one hand I respect him as a genuinely devoted fan of the horror genre, but on the other I more or less loathe the films he's made in said genre.
However, there are also two reasons why I'll read this book the local library's got a copy on preorder, and Brian Evenson, one of today's most innovative writers of dark fiction, has cowritten ghostwritten it.
So I have to admit that I am one of those people who is not familiar with the works of Rob Zombie, I had heard the name, but Im not sure Ive ever seen one of his films or listened to his music, I am, however, a fan of the horror literature genre, so this book looked fascinating to me,

In this book, radio DJ Heidi Hawthorne, in Salem, Massachussetts, is fighting depression while also fighting to stay clean from alcohol and drugs.
She cant help a nagging feeling that there is a stranger in a nearby apartment, A rather spooky, stranger at that, Meanwhile, a CD of music comes to the station from a band named “The Lords, ” The DJs play the CD, mostly as a gag, but soon they get calls from rabid listeners that they MUST keep playing the music.
Elsewhere, upon hearing the music, women lose their minds and savagely rip apart their lovers, Evil is let loose, and the devil pays a visit,

Its not a particular original ideasetting a horror story in Salem, MA and connecting it with the infamous witch trials, But still, Zombie and Evenson manage to do a good job making the connection, but not dwelling on it or beating us over the head with it.


The psychological terror that Heidi Hawthorne goes through is well developed, making the reader constantly look over the shoulder, But where Zombie and Evenson shine is in the graphic horror of the killing and the pure evil which lets loose about half way through the book.


I enjoyed my time in Salem with this wicked story, but at the end of the day, its not so memorable that Im telling everyone I know its a must read.
Your opinion of this book should not be swayed by my review, I'm incredibly biased, as I've been a fan of Zombie's both solo and with White Zombie since I was about eleven,


That being said, this book was the shit,

Salem, Mass. Sept.th,.
John Hawthorne, Samuel Mather and the brothers Magnus, Dean and Virgil, have spotted a coven of witches led by Margaret Morgan, Her coven has kidnapped a young pregnant girl and reaped her of her child, killing her and it in the process, in a sacrifice to Satan.

Hawthorne, Mather and the brothers Magnus take the witches into custody, 'try' them, and execute them, the majority by merciful fire, but ringleader Margaret Morgan by slow, agonizing torture.

It is done. The witches are gone.
But, as Hawthorne speculates as the bodies burn, are they truly doing the work of their Lord, killing witches, one of whom was barely a teenager Or are they only securing their own places beside the coven in hell

Salem, Mass.
Now.
Heidi Hawthorne, recovering heroin addict and popular local DJ of Salem's rock station,
She and her fellow DJs are having their usual fun on the air, but a carved wooden box suspiciously appears in the lobby downstairs, addressed to Adelheid Elizabeth Hawthorne.

Heidi.
Inside the box is a vinyl record, marked only as 'The LORDS',
Confused, but far from worried, Heidi and her friends play the record on their station,
It sucks.
When they play it for 'trash or smash' like Download or Delete they get a rousing fanbase for the strange music that, beyond 'scary metal' they have no category for.

But the strange thing is, that fanbase is all female,

Murders tagged as 'ritual' are starting to happen in Salem, committed by normal townswomen Maisie Mather and Virginia Williams nee' Magnus,

Dark spirits are colliding in Salem, and Margaret Morgan and her coven are back, and the descendants of the men who saw fit to kill them are all at risk.

They need a new sacrifice,
Heidi begins to sleepwalk,

It's hard to figure how much Rob Zombie actually wrote and how much this coauthor, B, K Evenson did, but you know what I don't care,
I personally don't think Rob Zombie just tacked his name onto this, I can see the influence he had on it, Just from being a huge fan of his music and films, I guess I can see what he would've put into it,
I do, however, side with those who say this was written with a film adaptation in mind, When you hear Heidi's description, it's hard not to picture Rob's lovely wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, who was cast as Heidi in the movie not surprising, she's a great actress.



I really don't have a problem with that, though, Rob's a visionary, a director at heart, It comes through in this story a lot, and I guess if you're not into that, don't read it,

The story is horrifying and spectacular, though I can see how a lot of people would toss it off as a Bmovie romp.

That's fine.
I just couldn't let Rob Zombie's horror book suck, you know With that in mind, I might have glossed over anything I found dumb.
A nonfan might interpret the book differently,

On a final note, this book demands to be accompanied by Rob's voice, I repeated White Zombie's La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol,, Rob's Educated Horses it has 'Lords of Salem' on it and White Zombie's AstroCreep at intervals while reading,
Makes for an excellent reading experience,

God hates, . . The Lords of Salem. No one Can ever save them. .
