Banishing night terrors ands nightmares
An exelent book on a subject hard to find any decent info

This book helped change my life.
I had suffered from terrible night terrors for decades before finding the answers I needed in this book.I fit the personality characteristics listed and I found the explanations for these characteristics comforting.The relationship section was also quite relevant to my life.But the most valuable part of the book for me was the section on solutions.I had to apply almost all of the important information listed in this chapter (including the information on effective drugs) to my life. This was by no means a ten minute fix.It took a little time, energy and effort but it worked.

Not helpful to alleviate night terrors
If you are looking for a book to help you alleviate night terrors, this is probably not the book to read. The book claims to be a breakthrough program, but it offers very little guidance for alleviating them. The main author, who is a sufferer of night terrors, but not a doctor, goes to great lengths to support his claim that all adult night terrors must be caused by past trauma. It is imperative, he says, that a sufferer recognize that trauma (primarily child abuse) occured and to move on. If the reader doesn't buy into this assertion, then the rest of the book is really not helpful. I was hoping for more on how to alleviate night terrors, but this book came up short, in my opinion. ... Read more

Great Book, about real people bad and good
I wanted to read this because my 5th grade teacher was on the wrong path and died in a gunbattle while participating in an attempted bombing.What I got was a story about people's struggles to prevent wrongs and the risks that they took.Right away I wanted to call and thank the parents of a childhood jewish friend for their work.Fabulous!

amazing
I thought this book was amazing. It gives a whole new perspective to how the KKK affected the south.

Amazing History of Southern Jews
I read this book after learning of a friend of mine who grew up Jewish in Jackson Mississippi and went through everything Nelson talks about.The book was incredibly written and Nelson is a phenomonal Journalist.I highly recomend this book to anyone looking to learn more about American history or history of Jews in the South.

Good book
This is of particular interest to people living in Mississippi in the 1960's.I was a child during this time and knew the children of the players in the book.I never knew the terrible things they were going through.It gave me a deep appreciation of the people involved.It also made me think in ways that I had never really considered.For example, the fact that the Klan is a terrorist organization rather than a bunch of rednecks in sheets.

excellent
I had to read this for school.I thought it would be horribly boring, but it was excellent. ... Read more

Book Description
YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE

Welcome to Sunnydale High, where midterms and peer pressure are the least of your worries. The Stake Your Destiny series returns Buffy Summers and the Scoobies to the glory days of high school. But this time you control the action and accept the full responsibility of being the Slayer. Interactive story lines advance by the choices you make, leading toward more than a dozen possible endings. Do you have what it takes to be the Slayer, or will you fail and summon a successor?

Banished to the realm of dreams, the Night Terror stalks its victims as they sleep. By replacing another's soul with its own, the demon can assume anyone's physical body and wreak havoc in the real world. But the effect is short-lived. Human bodies soon break down under the tremendous stress of the transfer, and the Night Terror is forced to find a new body to inhabit. That is, until it discovers Buffy's secret and imagines the Slayer would make an ideal -- and permanent -- host.... ... Read more

Choose your own Buffy
Night Terrors was a great read.It's unfortunate that the Buffy choose your own adventure series only had four books, because this book was a blast.I think there was something like twenty possible endings.It was really fun trying to get the Scoobies out of different situations. I dug the choose your own adventure books as a kid and greatly enjoyed reading a Buffy version.

Alice Henderson is an author to watch.

REVIEW

Night Terrors will always hold a special place in my heart because it's the first Buffy Choose-Your-Own-Adventure ("Stake Your Destiny") book I've successfully completed on my first try.Indeed, one of the aspects that sets this book apart from most others in the series is the wide range of possible endings, ranging from complete success to mediocre survival to outright death.

The core plot of the book is an attempt by a demon, the Night Terror, to take over the bodies of residents of Sunnydale by entering into their dreams.This leads to some really interesting and fun dream sequences with Buffy, and shows us examples of how White Hats like Giles, Joyce, and Angel would be like if evil (of course, this last one we know all too well).

The writing is smooth and the dialogue is appropriately quirky.In addition, crisp action scenes and a well-researched bad guy help keep the plot moving.Definitely one of the better Stake Your Destiny books.

A fun Buffy book
This is a pretty good Buffy book. Not the best but not the worst. I enjoyed the story. A demon named Mare, the Night Terror, takes control of peoples bodies while they're sleeping. After awhile their astrol cord will break and the persons body will go into a coma. My favorite story in this book is when the Mare takes of your, Buffy's, body and she gets banished into the realm of dreams. It's cool to see what the the other characters are dreaming. The other major story in this book is when the Mare takes over Angel's body. This brings out Angelus too. Ethan Rayne is also involved in part of this book. There is also zombies and a mummy. If you are a fan of Buffy then I think you should pick up this book. The Author did a great job keeping the characters true to the show aswell. ... Read more

terror in a small town
Sleep has eluded me since I read this book. I jump at shadows.
Freddie has been eclipsed. Night now comes too soon. Stephen King has some heady competition. I look forward to Drew's next book with anticipation... and dread.

Top-Notch Debut!
If, ten years from now, you want to be able to say "I was a fan before anybody knew who he was," buy this book today. Here's hoping we haven't seen the last battle between Steve Wykoff and Dust!

Very Scary!
Night Terrors is a very fast-paced and frightening novel. The author has a very enjoyable writing style that keeps the pages turning. This book is scary, well written and a lot of fun.

Great horror story
Chris has been fostered at the Crowley boot camp since he turned seven.At sixteen, he is finally ready to run away because his foster father is an abusive person who works Chris and the other children to the point of exhaustion.All he has left of his mother is a picture of her when she somehow communicates with him when he is troubled; her advice is always accurate.When he reaches Caldera New Mexico, she no longer transmits to him.

Caldera is a strange and frightening city that has an alarming growth rate.Julian, an environmentalist for Project Earth, has scientific proof that alarms him.At the same time psychiatrist Saney finds evidence that frightens her as she sees too many people suffering from bad dreams and psychoses than any other place she has encountered.These two individuals along with Chris connect with one another to find the cause of the problems at Caldera and attempt to stop them if they can even if they are supernatural in nature.

Anyone who likes a supernatural thriller similar to the "Left Behind" series will want to read THE APOSTATE.Unlike the "Left Behind" series this novel is more subtle and the supernatural elements more covert.The story line is very entertaining and enriching while the protagonists are people like the neighbors next door, caring and helpful when called upon in need.

Delicious fun and I want more!
The face on the cover gives me the shivers. The words within gave me sweating fear.

Night Terrors is such a visual book. It begs for film adaptation. Imagine Fred Krueger more whacked out than the norm and then make him exist only in your lousy dreams. Throw him into a town of crummy folks who don't have the most pleasant of thoughts. Imagine that and you only get Fred Krueger in need of meds...you don't get Drew William's own Dust. I will let you discover Dust on your own when you read Night Terrors and later dream.Dust is the villain of Night Terrors who, thanks to meds gone mad, is enabled to be given strength.

I love Night Terrors! I've been jumping at shadows and it is delicious fun! It doesn't hurt that the premise behind the book was one that intrigued me and made me think.

I want more from you, Drew Williams. ... Read more

OK book i guess I'd give it a thums up
A Night in Terror Tower was an ok story. Some of it was confusing, it wasn't explained. The story was coinsidental, everything was planned out. Some parts of the book popped out at me and some parts were very boring. You should read this book and see what I'm talking about.

A Night in Terror Tower was an ok story. some of it was confusing, it wasn't explained. the story was coinsidental, it was all setup. Some parts of the book poped out at me and some parts were boring. You should read the book and see what I'm talking about.

A great read!
A Night in Terror Tower is an amazing little book.With only 129 pages it is more than able to draw in a reader and fuel the imagination long after completion.The story is about two young children in London.They take a tour to the Terror Tower in London.The tour turns sour when they lose their guide and are hunted by the mysterious man in the black cape.The children are suffering from memory loss and nothing seems to be going their way!When the man in the black cape catches them the story takes a major twist, the kids are now in the past!This story is excellent for younger readers and will keep them turning pages for hours.I would recommend this book for anyone ages 8-12, but even adults could enjoy this as a quick night read!The graphic settings and bone chilling details to R. L. Stines books really keep you involved.The story is filled with humor, horror, drama, and action that won't let you sit anywhere but the edge of your seat.

Goosebumps # 27: A night in terror tower
A Night in Terror Tower is not the best Goosebumps book, But it is still good.
It is about a brother and sister(Eddie and Sue)that are in London because their parents have some meetings ( It never says what the meetings are for, But not even Eddie and Sue know, and you'll figure out why.) They spend their day with a tour group. Theycome to visit terror tower.While touring, they get separated from their group and are persued by a man in a cape that wants them for reasons unknown. Read the book to find out what happens when Eddie and Sue are finnaly captured.

Night Terrors, sounds scary doesn't it?Wrong.By the title it sounds like it's the type of book you don't want to read if you get scared easily, but this book isn't scary enough to scare a six year old.It's a collection of short stories that are supposed to frighten you.In addition to being boring many of the stories don't make since.For example "The Monkey's Wedding", about an old lady's son painted a famous picture called "The Monkey'sWedding."The stories most interesting event was when the old lady got a phone call saying here son had been killed, then the picture was mailed to her and the story ended.I can see how this book might be interesting to some people, but wasn't to me.When started reading this book I thought it would be scary, it didn't come close.On the good side this book was well written and had a lot of detail.Some of the stories did interest me but more often than not the stories were a disappointment.I think the author should have put different stories in the book or just changed the title to something that wasn't scary sounding. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone except for parents to read to kids five and under.This book is a disappointment.

Don't Turn Out the Lights.......
If you are a lover of scary stories,this book is made for you!Not only are the storys so frightining that you won't want to go to bed, there is more that one of them!

I would definetly reccomend this book!

Good read
I enjoyed this book. It was a page turner. This is a first time to read this author. I will look for more of her books. A very good thriller.

Amazing softmore effort
This author shows much promise in this page turner. If you like Dean Koontz and Stephen King, you will love Chandler McGrew.

Still lookin' over my shoulder...
Chandler McGrew's "Night Terror" is a witty and lithe combination of plots that intimately intertwine and play off one another, as well as characters that seem to continually get themselves in deeper and deeper trouble.Just when you think all is lost... Well, you read if for yourself! I thoroughly enjoyed the unfolding of the characters as they came together to thwart evil at it's darkest moments!McGrew has succeeded in giving us another novel that is hard to put down.Another must-read from Chandler McGrew!

Hard To Put Down!!!
This was a very good book!!Once I started reading it I didn't want to put it down. It keeps you turning the pages wanting to know what is going to happen next. I didn't want it to end. I really enjoyed this book and will be looking forward to the next one!!

masterfulpsychological suspense
Arcos, Maine is a small quiet town where people know their neighbors and doors are never locked.Yet in the space of four years two boys disappeared without a trace and most people, including Sheriff Virgil Milche, think they will never be found.Zach Bock has been missing for over a year now and his parents, Richard and Audrey, remain tortured by his absence.Audrey, who had a very strong bond with her son, has begun suffering night terrors and episodes where she hears her son's voice.

Richard thinks she is near a breakdown and insists that she visits a psychiatrist.To pacify him, she agrees to go.After speaking time with the doctor, Audrey realizes that the aunt who raised her after a traumatic childhood with her mother has brainwashed her into forgetting her salad days.If she hopes to find out what happened to Zach, Audrey must be willing to face the demons of her own past.

Chandler McGrew has written a masterful work of psychological suspense with some paranormal elements intertwined into the story line.The heroine is facing every mother's worst nightmare while fighting for her own sanity.She is a character that readers will identify with and take into their hearts.NIGHT TERRORS is a fascinating reading experience because like Memorex readers don't know what is real and what is a figment of the character's imagination.

I'm glad I bought it even though i have the other stories printed in this TPB.

Pain most Human is the best Kolchak story I've ever read.Hands Down.

The Extreme Zone, Night Terrors, Book 1....
I was at our local Wal-mart when I came across this book. Picking it up and reading the back, I was intrigued by what the book was about so I decided to get it. Boy, am I glad that I did. This series is awesome. M.C. Sumner is a brilliant writer. These books are among my most favorites of all time. If you like your stories with plenty of plot, this is the series for you. I highly recommend 'The Extreme Zone' to all.

Kick-...!
I'm generally not into books, but I picked up this one and couldn't put it down.The plot is unpredictable.Most stories are so predictable, the butler did it right?WRONG!You can never make an acurate guess.I guessed what the story would be like a million times, and none of them even came close.

So buy it and read it, and be ready to read for a long time.

(best to have a good stash of fritos and coca-cola)

Extreme Zone: Night Terrors
Awesome book. I read it first when I was about 10. I just picked it up today and I still love it, at age 16.

Journey into the unknown..........
In the first book of the Extreme Zone, two ordinary teenagers, Kathleen "Harley" Davisidaro and Noah Templer start a journey into the unknown, as they discover physcic powers, strange creatures, and rivalsecret organizations out to get the two of them. This was a cool novel thatteenagers who like science fiction would probably enjoy.

The start of an extremely exciting series!!
Hi!I have read all the way to number 6, and I LOVE the series.This book caught my eye in the bookstore, and I bought it.Lucky I did, because this was only the start of an exciting adventure!If you are looking at this for the first time, and you have no interest in science fiction books, DON'T LEAVE!!!I never liked sci-fi books, but this is different.This has adventure, suspense, mystery and drama.This series contains a little of what everyoone wants in a good book.In every book, Noah and Harley get deeper into the battle against evil.Every book changes a little, and different things happen - it is totally exciting!Beware - if you read this book, you will be attached to this series until the very end!!! ...

Great UK Adventure
"Night's Dark Terror" is intended as a transition module from the Basic to Expert rules and was created by TSR's UK team.

This module utilizes both dungeon and wilderness adventures. Instead of following the typical linear adventure plot this module presents seven scenarios whose order will be played according to the actions of the PCs.

The basic premise of the adventure is that a secret slaver organization called the "Iron Ring" acquires a magical tapestry that conceals the location of some ancient ruins. The society that built the ruins is called the Hutaakans, a race of jackal-headed humanoids. One of Ring's wizards discovers that a similar tapestry exists in a nearby land. This wizard sends his goblin forces raiding across the land looking for the tapestry and capturing slaves. A pullout map, a map screen with a full color representation of the tapestry, and a card sheet with Battlesystem-type counters are included with B10. The counters are used for a mass combat scenario.

"Night's Dark Terror" is a well-written and intriguing adventure. This one of the first D&D adventures to discard the linear A-B-C sequence of player actions. Also, it has an extensive section with NPC statistics and backgrounds. Additionally, the interior artwork is better than most D&D modules.

A special supermodule in B series
Paired with B4, I rate this as my most favorite module in B series. Not because of its rarity, it is really a quite good adventure. (B9, B11, B12 are also rare modules, B11 & B12 are also good modules, but B9 is not!) Started your journey from Kelvin, you have to fight for goblins, chase for Iron Ring, and eventually, arrive at the Lost Valley of Hutaaka. The module provided a lot of materials to GAZ1 GRAND DUCHY OF KARAMEIKOS, which published one year later and the Gazetteer series brought D&D Campaign into a vast Mystara World in later days. The module is also provide mapsheet and counters for Goblin's War. (like playing war game) Highly recommended! Well, it is quite difficult to acquire an original book now. Perhaps you need to pay a lot for this stuff when you find it in some auction websites or hobby shops. Nevertheless, once you get a copy, you'll find that you have not made a wrong buy. ...
