"Once again, Brooker dabbles in the occult with more than a little flair for the flamboyantly sexual. The Battle For Barnstable effectively ties horror with suspense while bending expectations and taking the reader on a fast-paced, unraveling mystery. Well written with multiple points of view, this is sure to be a wicked delight for fans of these genres, all the way up to the nail-biting finale."—Susan, Blue Iris Journal

"...A great story, fast to read and a real page-turner. If you love twists and turns in you book then The Battle For Barnstable is for you, it has one reporter, two sisters, the occult, Satan and a vampire a paranormal worth to read."—Bondy, Enchanted Romance

"...Has everything that a hardened horror buff like myself would enjoy: plot twists that left me breathless, characters that were strong and believable, as well as a storyline that made me shiver with delight. A sincere thanks goes out to Mr. Alan M. Brooker for crafting such a wonderfully evil story!"—Sue, NovelSpot

"4 Angels!...This incredible, horrible novel will keep most readers on the edge of their seats. It is full of richly described suspense and speculation. There are plenty of graphic, sexual orgy scenes that add spark and excitement to the plot. I found the sex scenes were a nice addition with the horror, although some more 'delicate' readers may find them unnecessary and be turned off by them. I really enjoyed the character development of Alex and the rest of the group. I was rooting for Alex's success throughout the entire book. The descriptions of the characters' experiments are enough to make the reader forget what is going on around them. This novel will move many readers and leave a sigh of contentment of a well-told story at the end...A nice addition to those that enjoy their horror a little darker, and very spicy."—Anita, Fallen Angel Reviews

"It's a horse," Burrows gasped. "A rider-less horse."

Hazzler groaned.

It was indeed a horse. A great black stallion and it had no rider that was visible to them, but he knew of its terrible significance. Their adversary, despairing of breaking through the pentagram before dawn, had abandoned his attempts and, in savage revenge, had sent the Angel of Death himself to claim them for his own.
