Is there a meaning behind the drawing which I assume is the cover to Glorious Nosebleed?

I’m with Dreamybee….what’s so glorious about a nosebleed? I’m assuming (or hoping) it’s a type of symbolism for something else? Does the symbolism work? If it’s not symbolism, why should someone read something about a glorious nosebleed?

You know, I’m not sure I like the idea of gore and a young adult novel together. I know it’s horror, and I wouldn’t have a problem with my son reading horror, but I’m not a fan of realistic horror (aka slasher/serial killer movies, something without a paranormal/supernatural angle). So I’m already hesitate about it when I ask these: Is Blood Water correctly classified as a young adult novel? Is this a novel you would promote for younger readers or is it more for a mature audience?

For those of us who haven’t read Koontz, could you elaborate on the style?

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

The Glorious Nosebleed-interesting title. Can you tell us without spoiling anything what, exactly, is glorious about the nosebleed?

I haven’t heard of either. Are they worth reading?

In fact, I’ve read very little around this genre. Would you recommend either of them, for me to get started, or are there some better books out there, which I should read first. If so, which ones? Why?

Thanks :)

Does it have a good story line, or is it all about the gore?!
