Customer Reviews

A good, engaging read

This book was quite good. I got it used for 20 cents, so it was definetely worth the price! It's one of Marion Zimmer Bradley's older works, and I seem to find them better than her newer ones. Dark Satanic is a dark-fantasy/occult horror story that follows pretty much the usual formula, however, the author tells the tale extremely well, making the characters very involving and I could feel their descents into maddness. It was quite chilling at times, and an easy read--not in that it was quick and light, but it was fast-paced and I read it straight through without being bored once. I am a big fan of Marion Zimmer Bradley, but I haven't really liked what I've read of her recent occult-type novels (Ghostlight was decent but not captivating, and Witchlight was dumb and boring). However, if this is what her 1970s period horror writing was like, I'll certainly try a few others
