Title: Review: Midnight Meat Train
Review: I've only read Midnight Meat Train so here's my review with spoilers:This is a good story but Barker goes for too much at the end and overstretches himself. First we're led to believe the culprit's a serial killer, then a cannibal, then it turns out he's a full blown monster. Too many changes in too little time and besides, you had me at cannibalism.I think Barker should've left his story at this: The powers that be in New York City are part of a cult that feeds on human beings and therefore plan and cover up the killing of civilians. As far as horror goes, this isn't all that implausible. Cannibals exist and governments sacrifice their people all the time.There's a time to be fantastical and a time to reign it in and the basic ingredients of this story lead me to believe it would've packed more punch if Barker kept it simple and believable.
Is the review positive or negative?
