About this audiobook
Jeffrey Konvitz
Born in New York City, Jeffrey Konvitz is an entertainment lawyer, film producer, and novelist. A graduate of Cornell University and Columbia Law School, Konvitz has both written a New York Times bestseller (The Sentinel) and produced a film whose worldwide box office gross exceeded $100 million (Spy Hard). His first novel, The Sentinel (1974), was second on the New York Times Mass-Market Best Seller list and is considered to be a horror classic. After writing and producing the film adaptation of The Sentinel for Universal Pictures in 1977, Konvitz published two more bestselling novels: The Guardian (1979), the sequel to The Sentinel; and Monster (1982). Konvitz has served as executive producer and financing counsel for three major motion pictures: O Jerusalem, I Could Never Be Your Woman, and The Flock. He is currently working on a historical novel, The Circus of Satan, about the late-nineteenth-century destruction of the national Irish Mob and the subsequent rise of Italians and Jews in nationwide politics and crime in the early twentieth century. Konvitz is also preparing the third book in the Sentinel Trilogy, which continues the saga from where The Guardian left off. He currently resides in Los Angeles.

Readers find this title to be a dated but fun read, with surprising twists and turns. It offers a great horror story with dark elements, suspense, and mystery. While it may not work for everyone, it is highly recommended for fans of modern classic horror."

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Pre-Satanic Panic era time capsule with suprising twists and turns. Loved the unintendedly hilarious 1970s descriptions of lesbianism, upper west side rent prices, fatphobia, dated perceptions of the modeling industry, and one scene with terrible advice for seizure first aid. Definitely a dated, but fun read.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5While I enjoy modern classic horror, this book just did not work for me at all.
