The story had plenty of horror and some tense action pieces though I preferred the straight horror scenes more. The subplot that finally intersected in the last bit of the book with the KGB Agents and the Soviet “Agricultural” Specialist, which was the espionage undertone of the work, surprised me in its final twist involving the hippie girl which I thought that I had figured out already. It was a little punch to my political stances as she was made out to be a vicious idiot who was violently against war and pro-environmentalism that the reader was supposed to hate. At the same time, some of the victims of the parasites had racist and homophobic thoughts as they were succumbing and portrayed as victims. I might be reading too much into it as I have no idea what the author’s political bent was at all.
Overall, I recommend this if you’re looking for a not-too-heavy end-of-the-world horror story. The story is fast-paced, it never stops moving forward save in a few spots, and there is no doubt that it is meant to be a straight horror story judging by the very horror-morality ending, the other elements from outside genres being just a part of the scope. In fact, I definitely now want to check out the first [book:The Howling|481462] book now. I loved the movie since childhood so it’s not like I wasn’t interested beforehand.… (meer)
