"Somewhere east of Edwards
Air Force Base, south of Fort Irwin, folks have seen the signs
in the sky, stirring weird beliefs and strange desires. That's
only the beginning, because the forces that converge over the
desert have designs of their own -- and desires that transcend
human flesh.
Tamara Thorne has captured the flavor and terror of such alien
intrusions, but she forces us to take another forbidden step
beyond the edge of obsession, with profound consequences the
reader cannot forget, or survive with innocence intact."
- Jacques Vallee, Author of Passport to Magonia
"... A true gem of a horror
novel. . .Thorne displays the ability to create and populate a
small town with all the dexterity of Stephen King or Robert
McCammon."

review of Thunder Road
"[Thorne] is one of the best tellers of dark fantasy tall-tales,
able to spin a yarn that's both outrageous and surprisingly
convincing, peopled with flesh and blood characters you can't
help but like and care about... and she wields her wild sense of
humor like a claymore."
--- Bill Gagliani,

"Tamara Thorne presents a
varied and well-rounded cast of characters . . . moving the
story to the 'final day of reckoning'. She keeps the pace
alternately laconic and creepy, slowly picking up speed and
finally barreling to a breakneck and satisfying conclusion.
Thorne also presents fascinating speculation about the UFO myth,
science, religion and the nature of God, but injects just enough
of the supernatural to leave you wondering what's really going
on in the night sky at the end of Thunder Road."

"What do you say about a
horror novel that includes UFOs, the Apocalypse, two serial
killers, and a murderous religious cult?. . . You say bring it
on and know it will be one hell of a ride, filled with both
horror and perfectly twisted humor."
--- Diana Bennett
A magnificent symphony of
characters and subplots that twist and tangle with each other -
until they reach the impossible crescendo of theology,
mythology, and murder....this is an excellent book - not as much
horror as some would like, more like the piccolo in an
orchestra... it's there, it's wonderful, but it's not center
stage. Should you buy it? Oh yeah...especially if you enjoy
religious, supernatural, scientific, or action based horror."
