Publisher Description
It stood over six feet tall and was the color of dried blood. It was absurdly reminiscent of some giant plucked bird, like an ostrich—but it had the head of a reptile. The partly opened mouth revealed rows of curved, pointed teeth. It was a walking impossibility—a creature that had died out sixty-five million years ago—but it was alive. And it wasn't the only one.
In a sleepy rural town, one man's dream had become everyone else's nightmare—and dinosaurs once more roamed the earth.
First published in 1984, six years before Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park, Harry Adam Knight's Carnosaur is a gory dinosaur-filled romp sure to delight fans of '80s paperback horror fiction.
Customer Reviews
Lightyears better than the movie
Very good read really wish it would be adapted into an audiobook
Better than Jurassic Park!
The forgotten predecessor to the classic franchise that overshadowed it. It deserved much better movies than the super low budget garbage it got instead. It’s a more adult, faster-paced version of Jurassic Park, heavier on the gore and violence with the occasional graphic sex scene. The last act half is especially nonstop carnage. It’s an easier read than Jurassic too since I felt didn’t have as much technobabble as it did. There’s not enough dino horror like it. It’s an incredibly underutilized genre. Definitely recommended.
