“The Omen” is a “must-read” horror novel to get haunted.Let He who hath understanding Reckon the number of the Beast For it is a human number, Its number is Six Hundred and Sixty-Six. If you loved “The Exorcist” then this one’s for you.
This was my second horror flick after “The Exorcist” and as the book said, it kept me haunted and never disappointed me ( I’m much tempted to make a movie out of it right now). I loved every single chapter and how it kept me hooked. But this one had a different approach (a different concept of Satan stuff, to be precise). When it comes to Hollywood horror flicks, all the ritual pieces of stuff, satan concepts, everything comes from their religious ideology, and pretty much most of the idea revolves around the same devil haunting dolls and humans. Incidents happening after that were chilling, captivating and horrifying. The family leads a good time with the adopted child until things start to go south when their maid commits suicide, and the new maid enters their home to take care of the child. Then the story starts with a man adopting a child who’s born at the same time his child was born and announced dead. The book starts with a prologue where it gives us a sense of curiosity about what the story is going to be, which involves stars colliding, a jackal giving birth to satan (in the form of a child), and incidents happening to establish that the Antichrist has stepped into this world. Like I said, “The Omen” is a more well-written, haunting and perfectly executed novel than the movie (Trust me, the movie is disappointing).
(Check out my reviews on my Instagram page since that was my writing forum before I came here). Because it just happens to be so with all the books I’ve read recently. Don’t get tired of me saying that all the books are stunning.
