WELCOME TO THE WORST BED AND BREAKFAST EVER...

The bed and breakfast was hidden in the hills of West Virginia. Wary guests wondered how it could stay in business at such a creepy, remote location. Especially with its bizarre, presidential decor and eccentric proprietor.

ONCE YOU CHECK IN...

When the event hotel for the national Iron Woman triathlon accidentally overbooked, competitor Maria was forced to stay at the Rushmore. But after checking into her room, she quickly realized she wasn't alone. First her suitcase wasn't where she put it. Then her cell phone was moved. Finally, she heard an odd creaking under the bed. Confusion quickly turned to fear, and fear to hysteria when she discovered the front door was barred and the windows were bricked over. There was no way out.

...YOU'LL BE DYING TO LEAVE

One year later, four new female athletes have become guests of the Inn. Will they escape the horrors within its walls? Or will they join the many others who have died there, in ways too terrible to imagine?

ENDURANCE by J.A. Konrath

I read this amazing book a couple of years ago called Afraid by an author I had never heard of, Jack Kilborn. Once reading Afraid, I was waiting for more, which sadly never came. On my last Amazon.com order, I looked up Kilborn and found he had also written under his real name, JA Konrath. And among these titles, I found more Kilborn stuff. I bought two more books without hesitation and smashed through this baby in a week because I just couldn't put it down. In my first sitting I read 70 pages. This book didn't warm up, this book jumped straight into it, which is what I loved about Afraid!

Endurance is this crazy, sick and terrifying horror novel that begins with a woman staying at a creepy in called the Rushmore Inn. The inn is covered in presidential memorabilia. The owner, Eleanor, obsessed with the presidential family and hoping that one of her boys one day will become president. Problem is, her boys are horribly deformed. Every single one of them and they have been using this old run down inn for decades to attract people there and keep them locked up for their own sinister purposes. At the beginning of the book, one woman be becomes of this inn, a triathlon runner that is staying to compete. When she goes missing, her fiancé immediately goes looking for her, accompanied by her brother. 12 months later, they find their way to this horrid little inn, and unlucky for some, so have this year's triathlon competitors. A woman with prosthetic legs, a reporter following her for the scoop and a trio of grandmother, mother and daughter also there to compete. All them of them are about to meet Eleanor and her sick and twisted family and only some of them are going to survive it!

And here I was thinking that Afraid wouldn't let me go. This book was ten times more relentless than afraid and actually had me a bit freaked out at night while reading it alone. The words are spot on, allowing you to imagine this in your head so clearly that you actually wish this would become a film! And every single chapter, from the very first one, ends with some one-liner, some hanging sentence that just makes you want to keep reading. But problem is, there are so many characters and each chapter jumps from character to character so you need to read five odd chapters to get back to that person you are dying to know what happens and by then, you have four more characters you are obsessed with too, so the book is one constant relentless roller coaster from character to character and their terrible situations that you wonder how the hell they are going to escape from. Also explains why you plough through this book so fast, you honestly cannot put it down! I found myself reading it at work, in the bath, on the toilet (which I NEVER do!), on the treadmill, on the couch and it came out that many times during a pretty poor movie that I cannot even count. I either need better movies or this book was just addictive! I felt like every spare minute my face was in it and part of me is kinda glad it is over, my head is pounding from reading so much!

The characters in this book are amazing. You have some very strong women in this book, they are not only fit and healthy and strong but also so mentally capable, independent and determined. These women are fighters! And so are the guys that happen to get stuck there too. Even with generations between particular characters, they all have such similar strength and it pays off and ensures for some damn fine reading as they give these hillbilly freaks a good run for their money!

Eleanor and her clan are just terrifying. She is huge and grotesque and her family of deformed sons are even worse than anything I have ever read being described. I thought Edward Lee's Creekers did a good job of dealing with abnormalities and deformities, but Kilborn takes it to a whole new level in Endurance. It is like taking something out of your worst nightmares of monsters that only your brain can make up and then having them roam around a town, serving people in an inn and assisting their mother in her disgraceful need for survival. Not only that but the inn itself sounds run down, creepy and there are secret passage ways and doors everywhere so no one is safe, in any room at all. When some characters are taken from bathrooms, others from their closets and the scariest one, with someone UNDER the bed... the book is filled with the atmosphere to keep you on the edge of your seat from the first pace to the last page. Not only is it called Endurance due to the poor characters stuck in the situation but also for the reader to keep at this book, I felt like I was reading it so fast that I myself was going to run out of breath! So the title seemed fitting on both levels.

Another highly recommended book. I was wondering how Kilborn was going to pull it off and keep it going as everything seemed to happen so fast and I was thinking with it all happening so quickly that it ran the risk of getting boring later on. But no, the movie keeps up this nail biting speed all the way through and finishes as abruptly as it begins. Check it out for sure! You won't be disappointed! Now I have to read Trapped, the other of Kilborn's that I picked up. He says that this one is gorier. I cannot even imagine how that is possible. So here goes....

This is gore fest at its goriest,not for the faint hearted but an absolute delight for anyone who likes the mad and bloody goings on that this author leads you into.A dark and dangerous wood conceals an establishment passing itself off as a hotel,offering free accomodation in terms of money but in everything else the people who take the offer to stay, have to give payment of another kind.There is no plot as such ,the story is mainly who can survive and escape,at times it does seem like they will be overwhelmed and the wrong ones will triumph,but out of all the frantic skirmishes surely there has to be survivors from the large amount of inhabitants of the place,but right up to the end you dont know for sure who it will be. This is an edge of the seat read and anyone who is looking for a truly gruesome read and has a strong stomach this is ideal.This is the first book I have read from this author and have put him at the top of my list and will be looking forward to reading is other publications.

Nach den vielen Jugendbüchern in letzter Zeit und passend zu Halloween musste mal wieder was grausam Schauriges her und mit 'Endurance' hab ich genau zum richtig Buch gegriffen.

Jack Kilborn hatte eine Geschichte geschrieben, die es in sich hat und die von vorne bis hinten packend ist.

Schon die erste kurze Einleitung ist derart schaurig, dass man für die anschließende Einleitung erst einmal genug versorgt ist. Die wenigen Seiten, in denen man das erste Ereignis im Hotel erlebt, halten so viel Spannung und Nervenkitzel bereit, dass man durch den Part, in dem man erst einmal die Personen kennen lernt, die sich später im Hotel aufhalten werden, geradezu hindurch rauscht, weil man unbedingt wissen will, was genau passiert ist.

Beeindruckt war ich, dass das Buch mit knapp 300 Seiten recht kurz ist und sich trotzdem die Zeit nimmt, die Charaktere nicht nur oberflächlich zu behandeln. Alle werden richtig tiefgehend beschrieben, so dass man einen guten Einblick in deren Leben bekommt und deren Stärken und Schwächen kennen lernt.

Dabei wird die Geschichte aber nie langweilig.

Aber auch wenn solche Bücher immer mal ein wenig übertrieben sein dürfen, um für die schaurige Stimmung zu sorgen, fand ich die Charaktere hier teilweise wenig nachvollziehend. Sie kamen mir teilweise doch etwas zu 'stark' rüber und der Situation nicht angemessen.

!SPOILER!

Die Frau aus der Vorgeschichte: 1 Jahr in Gefangenschaft, täglich gequält und vergewaltigt (mehrfach von vielen verschiedenen Männern) und trotzdem hat sie noch die Kraft, sich gegen sie zu stellen und sich zu wehren.
Teilweise kam mir zu wenig die Angst rüber, durch die ich selbst die Situation noch mehr hätte nachvollziehen und mehr auf mich einlassen können.

!SPOILER ENDE!

Vor allem das Unwissen, was genau eigentlich in diesem Hotel vor sich geht, macht die Geschichte richtig spannend. Man rast durch die Geschichte, erlebt Ereignis für Ereignis, solche die sich in ihrem Nervenkitzel immer weiter zu steigern scheinen und kommt schließlich bei der Aufklärung an.

Doch dass man letztlich weiß, was genau los ist, macht die Sache nur noch schauriger, so dass es einem eiskalt den Rücken runter läuft und man selbst die Angst und Panik spürt, die die Charaktere selbst fühlen.

Durch und durch eine beunruhigende Idee, die schaurig und spannend umgesetzt wurde und nur hier und da Abzüge für Kleinigkeiten bekommt, über die man aber auch hinwegsehen kann.

This is my first foray into the twisted mind of J.A. Konrath, and boy was it fun. Horrific. Just what a horror novel should be.
