Customer Reviews

Charles Colley, author Sisterbaby's Monkey

This book is tight and fast. It's exciting to me, in its historical look at Nazis and the Holocaust, while spinning a parallel story of reincarnation. I recently met Mr. Monteleone in person while we both signed our books for readers at Greetings and Readings in Maryland. His instant friendship and warmth is in such sharp contrast with his tense, often scary stories. I know it takes a complex soul to craft a complex tale, yet he surprised me with his simplicity of heart, his giving ways. So many novels are lost in this age of fast sales, of revolving door marketing where a book is only in stores for a short period. I recommend going back in time, in reading the older works of writers you love. See how they evolve, building one tale upon the last. That is what I am finding when I read and re-read Tom Monteleone. This guy has the goods and I recommend him!!

A real page-turner from one of the masters

NIGHT OF BROKEN SOULS was suggested to me by author Michael Laimo, and I'm glad I bought a copy. Monteleone's characters are so real you'll feel you know each one, which is a big accomplishment here considering there's several of them, not to mention one that pops up toward the end of the story! NOBS is a scary, smart, and impossible to put down read. A genuine gem that should be on every horror fans' shelf.

Night of Broken Souls

Night of Broken Souls The book Night of Broken Souls by Thomas Monteleone is exciting and action-packed. This thrilling novel is about the psychiatrist, Michael Keating. A new patient comes bursting into Michael's office about to kill herself because of horrible nightmares she had been having of being a Jewish girl in a consentration camp during the Holocaust. While doing research on his patient he stumbles onto a horrifying phenomenon, people worldwide have been vivid nightmares and blackouts relating back to the Holocaust. Michael realizes that these victims are the reincarnated souls of innocent Holocaust victims. Later Keating discovers that along with the victims, Der Klein Engel, the man destine to murder these victims may has been reincarnated also. Michael and a few select colleagues must stop Der Klein Engle, or "the Little Angel" before the Holocaust happens all over again. Any one who likes a little action in their life would love this book. I personally enjoyed this novel despite the slightly vulgar language and distasteful sexual content. I would rate this to be a nine on a scale from one to ten. For those who thrive on details and knowledge this book has very detailed scenes of the horrors of the Holocaust. For those thrill seekers out there, there is enough action to full fill anyone's thrive.

Can the "final solution"happen again?

In 1999 New York, a half-crazed young woman barges into the office of psychiatrist, Dr. Michael Keating. The distraught patient threatens to commit suicide unless Michael can help her with her recurring Holocaust nightmares. Stunned that the woman is too young to have those types of memories from an event over a half a century ago, Michael begins to research the problem. ......Michael's investigation shocks him even further when he realizes that his client's nightmares are being shared by numerous people around the globe, several who have died. He soon determines that the notorious Der Klein Engel (The Little Angel) has either returned from the dead or is being copied in order to complete his personal "final solution". Michael, an FBI agent, an old Rabbi, and the apparent reincarnation of Jewish holocaust victims team up in a monumental battle between good and evil, in which the bad side has a head start. .......NIGHT OF THE BROKEN SOULS is a strange but interesting horror novel that recreates in the last decade of the twentieth century and the horrors performed by the Nazis during the middle decade. The tale is ultra frightening (especially when the story line looks back into the forties) as it builds to an exciting, but expected ending. The support cast and the villain are all top rate, though Michael fails to generate any empathy. Thomas Monteleone demonstrates with this book why he has previously won the Bram Stoker award. ......Harriet Klausner
