I gave up on konrath awhile ago but this one was free with an audible upgrade for 1.99 so I decided to give him another shot. It was worth the price but not much more. I wish he would write something like his first 3 kilborn novels that where all 5 star reads but I guess it's not going to happen.

A psychopath on a killing spree and a talent for using the electronic devices of the victims against them? It's a clever concept for a novel. The relationship drama of the main characters is a little undercooked but aside from that, the characters are compelling. The book also has a compelling crossover tie-in with Rum Runner, also by Konrath. That was interesting and amusing for anyone who read Rum Runner. It was a quick read and worth the time.

I liked the premise of a serial killer being able to stalk/hunt his victims through technology. Big Brother was watching, and it makes you think about how connected we are to our devices, and how easily it would be for someone to watch us. Although this is part of his horror collection, it's probably closer in style to the JD series.I also read this at the perfect time, albeit unknowingly. I recently read Konrath's Jack Daniel series 1-8, and was knocking out some of his other books before start...

I loved this. Of course, I'm a die hard Kilborn fan, so may be biased lolIf you haven't read any of his horror, please do. You'll be so glad you did. Serial was one of my favorites.

Good, if a little predictable. Worth the effort, though.So, what do you know about Greek mythology? Have you heard of Erinyes?Let me save you some Google time.Erinyes - or The Furies, as they are more commonly known – were female chthonic (whatever the fuck that may mean) deities of vengeance. The wrathful goddess Demeter features in there somewhere, but I’m just not educated enough to understand it. One thing is clear, they know no mercy for anybody, much like James Blunt for the audience at hi...

Liked this one but I still prefer Afraid, Endurance and Trapped to his newer stuff. This was a good story and a few familiar faces show up from his works as Konrath.

WEBCAM--A Novel of Terror, by Jack Kilborn (J.A. Konrath) is a stand-alone novel that occurs simultaneously with two of the author's other novels--crossing over into at least one of them fully towards the end.In the beginning, I really had some high hopes for this novel. While I felt the villain was predictable (and figured out the who/why part at about 25% into the book), the scenes were still enough to make you pause, and the gore/violence was sufficient for horror fans. Throughout it all, "Ki...

May book-of-the-month in my wonderful group here at Goodreads and first buddy read with my equally wonderful friend Janie! Unfortunately, most of the positive stuff ends here. I knew next to nothing about the author going in, but after checking his website, he seems to have cranked out more books than Stephen King in half as many years. I can only guess that a little less quantity may have improved quality. This story is about a very strange and contradictory psychopath, killing people hideously...

Scary and suspenseful!I always love these two authors and this was no exception. I got the audio book on purpose because scary books keep me awake on my ridiculously long commute, then I had to read it at home to find out the end because it was so good. I will definitely read more from them!

An interesting but quite disturbing storyI enjoyed reading this book but found the psychological implications of this type of story to be disheartening and hard to believe even though I know stuff like this happens. I am not sure I would be able to read story after story like this one.

Let me get this out of the way first – I liked WEBCAM, even if I did find myself ultimately disappointed. It’s a far from perfect read for me, but I don’t feel like my time was completely wasted. Hence, the three-star rating. To explain why I was disappointed will take some doing, so here goes.Jack Kilborn is JA Konrath’s go-to pseudonym for horror books, and they’re usually billed as “A Novel Of Terror.” Such books have included Afraid, Trapped, Endurance, Haunted House, and (I think) a few oth...

VERY disappointed. Seriously pissed I wasted my April Kindle Lending Library loan on this story! All setup with an extremely anticlimactic, unsatisfying ending.1. deus ex machina 2. Info dump dialog explaining3. No horror4. TyposBoth books that I have read, in this author 'experiment,' have been failures. All setup to link to other books, lesser quality writing, and unsatisfying endings that just end overly simplistic with no effort by hero.I'll wait for library to get the rest of these books.

I read this book four years ago when it came out. I was completely excited... first of all, it was a new Kilborn story and the premise was intriguing. Somehow I forgot to write a review when I finished. I’m kind of glad that I did because four years in, I can’t remember most of what happened in the novel. That’s telling. All other Kilborn novels have stuck to me... I remember the book scenes and the characters. It’s not that this was a bad book, just not memorable. It certainly is NOT at the lev...

The writing was inspiring to my own personal novel writing. I will definitely be taking some pointers from the style. It was a bit graphic but it intensified the story. I will definitely be reading the entirety of the collective!

Jack Kilborn has done it again. He really is the master of suspense and horror. The book was so creepy and it freaked me out while reading it at night. I had to put it down until daylight and it was REALLY hard to do that because I couldn't wait to find out what happened. Awesome book!

Well. I'll never look at the internet, my phone or any electronic device with a camera the same way again. Ever. People are watching.Someone is watching "sinners" in this novel and they don't know it. You could be watched right now as you read this review. The killer has you in his eye. He even finds you when you read your Kindle. This is a dark horror crime novel about a seriously messed up serial killer who delights in the suffering and the "penance" of the victim before death. There is no mer...

Someone is stalking and killing webcam models, but their online activities are not the only thing they have in common. The killer is targeting women named Kendal, and anyone else who gets in the way is fair game too. The body count rises. Detective Tom Mankowski is on the trail but will he catch Erinyes before one of his loved ones is added to that scoresheet? There is a brief tie-in with Joe Konrath's (aka Jack Kilborn) recent novel Rum Runner and with Ann Voss Peterson's recent novella Watched...

"Anything that links to the Internet can be compromised. Modern computer security isn't about keeping people out. It's about detecting them quickly once they get in."I'm fully aware that as I am writing this review, the tiny inconspicuous camera at the top of my laptop is staring right at me. The camera is always off. (At least I think it is.) With today's technology, any person anywhere in the world can turn on my webcam and enter my life, and I wouldn't even know it. It's a scary thought, and

I'm torn here. This was really a 4 star book, but I had to deduct a star because 1) there were unnecessary spoilers about the Jack Daniels series and 2) I caught at least 4 typos. The story was good but the ending felt rushed (everything wrapped up within a few pages).

Disturbingly deadlyA truly dark and disturb read. How authors come up with stories like this, that completely suck you in, while being so disturbing, really blows my mind.
