Michael Laimo - A creative genius when it comes to horror
Just when you think Michael Laimo cant top his previous book, he not only meets your expectations but exceeds them as well. I found this book to be very suspenseful with just the right amount of horror to keep my mind running wild trying to figure out the ending.

There were times while reading this book that I said "YUCK" and "GROSS",because the details were just so strongly written that you could actually visualize the scenes as they were/are taking place,which also makes it seem like YOU are part of the story as well. After reading a book like this it makes me believe that the author behind this horrific novel may just be proving himself to be quite the creative genius, whom writes like no other (atleast none that Ive seen).

"Fires Rising" gave going to church a whole new experience,wrapped up in one amazing plot and ending. Next time I go to church Ill make sure that the door stays open :-)

I strongly believe that "Fires Rising" may be his BEST book so far that he has written. I enjoyed it so much that I may read it again.

Looking forward to the release of "Dark Ride" next month".

TRULY A MUST READ!!!!!!!!
oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!! this book is absolutely amazing!!! i couldn't wait to finish it!!! i was exhausted and still could not stop reading!!! my eyes were crossing and everything. i had to read the last chapters while covering one eye at a time so that they would not cross anymore! i cannot even express how much i thoroughly enjoyed this book. if anyone reading this has not bought it yet, do so immediately!!!

Laimo Delivers Us From Evil
3 AND 1/2 STARS

Fires Rising reminded me of a nice mix of movies from filmmaker John Carpenter. Take the standoff of trapped heroes from Assault On Precinct 13 and put them in a church, then add the growing evil and possession from Prince Of Darkness and you have a fairly accurate description of Fires Rising. While I didn't relate to the characters nearly as much as I did in his earlier novels such as Deep In The Darkness or Dead Souls, I enjoyed the constant threat of danger that Michael Laimo infused throughout the book. Somewhere between a novella and a full length novel, this is one of the shorter Leisure titles I've seen. But don't let that fool you, Laimo stuffs this baby full of violence, mythology, creatures, gore, and some memorable visuals that will stay with you for quite some time. And while I agree with others that this is his best technical writing, the story didn't grab me as much as I would have liked. Still a solid recommendation that has me looking forward to Laimo's next one.
