Summary: The Devil's Night
Comment: I never write reviews. So, with that in mind, I have to say that this book, along with "The Devil's Brood" and "Return of the Wolf Man" are some of the best reads I've had in a long time!
These books follow the formula of Universal Studio's classic monsters. If you enjoy the old Universal horror movies, then you will most assuredly enjoy these novels.
I highly recommend you seek out the first novel, "Return of the Wolf Man" then "The Devil's Brood" and finally this book! It's well worth reading.

Summary: If you like the classic monster movies...
Comment: You will enjoy this book. The first movie to feature the 'Big Three' monsters was 'House of Frankenstein' in which all the monsters appear all to briefly, and then die. This book takes us into the minds of the monsters to experience their thoughts and feelings in extended action sequences. If a sequel to those movies were made today, it would have to be more graphic and more violent than the originals. I enjoyed the bloodlust of the werewolf of London and the survival aptitude of the Frankenstein monster (I'm not sure if he could breath underwater, but if he could be drowned that easily he would have been killed long ago.) True, Dracula's daughter is no longer seeking a cure, but who wouldn't go through changes over sixty years? I only regret that a sequel hasn't been released yet.

Summary: ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!
Comment: I read parts of this aloud as examples of bad writing. This is HORRIBLE! The story is muddled. Cliches abound. The characters are poorly depicted. Where is the inner turmoil the vampire showed in the movie "Dracula's Daughter"? Why did he so strangely change the werewolf's shapeshifting nature to a method unrelated to that of the movies? Since when do Dracula and his daughter invoke Satan? If you're not going to stick to what has been established in the movies, then just write an original novel with your own material and characters. Bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD!!!
