Amazon Stars: 5/5
As a child of the eighties, I grew up with a lot of crazy
horror films that probably wouldn't see the light of day in this age of torture
porn, zombies, and possessed children. Pat Douglas is an author whose work I
always look forward to reading because it reminds of a more innocent time, a
throwback to an era where horror films were just gory and fun to watch. I've
often compared his work to B-movie-style or "grindhouse" fiction, if
there is such a thing, and this latest work is no different. I compare
"Killer Koala Bears From Another Dimension" to films because like
most of Douglas's work, it's a fast-paced thriller that seeks to entertain
while slipping in just a tiny bit of social commentary that can prompt a smile
from audience members who read closely enough.
When I first heard about this book, I couldn’t wait to get
my hands on it. The plot is straightforward enough; some disenfranchised youths
play around with stuff they're not supposed to an open a portal to… another dimension!
Out of which steps… violent, spear-chucking koala bears! What more do you need
to know about the plot? Douglas always does a good job of establish
"everyman" characters—average-Joe-types you can cheer for, even when
you know they're going to die. In this zany adventure you'll find some cheesy
characters and wild scenarios, but that's what you were expecting when you
bought the book! Douglas delivers what you expect when you buy a book with such
a sweet title.
Douglas has a gift for storytelling that cannot be
overlooked. Sometimes I watch a Michael Bay film, and sometimes I watch some
artsy-film from Spain; in the end, I want to be entertained. Douglas delivers
the thrills I expect; this book gives you exactly what it advertises, with
page-turning excitement that is full of heart, fun, and most importantly,
killer koala bears. Douglas wrote the story I wanted to read.
