Carrion comfort is a novel by American author Dan Simmons; it is set in 1980 and tells the tale of mind vampires. Dan Simmons is a novelist who I have come to love over the last few years, from his hyperion sci-fi to Drood an essay about Charles Dickens and his brilliant The Terror a book set during Franklins doomed journey to find the North-West passage. So it was with excitement that I picked up Dan Simmons first attempt at a book called Carrion comfort which runs to a whopping 767 pages and tells the story of mind vampires. The book begins with the concentration camps in 1942 and the fate of a young Jew called Saul, he is saved from the concentration camps ... Read the complete review

Hours when the army colonel, the Oberst, suddenly and terrifyingly took control of Saul's mind, marching his body to ... Read the complete review

I first read this several years ago not long after it was first published and came across it again recently whilst going through my book-shelves and decided to give it another go remembering how much I enjoyed it the first time. CARRION COMFORT begins with the story of three old friends who come together each year for a very special reunion. These three friends share the same ability- the ability to manipulate others using the powers of their mind- and feed off the negative emotions that result from the consequences of their actions. Their annual reunion is a yearly occurrence and has become a chance for each of them- accompanied by the brain-washed servants ... Read the complete review
