"If you've ever been in a remote area when something terrible goes wrong, then you know the fear of utter helplessness. Mosquito Man nails this. A superbly crafted psychological thriller." (New York Journal of Books)

From USA Today and number-one Amazon best-selling author Jeremy Bates comes the first book in the all-new World's Scariest Legends series.

After a woman bangs at the door in the middle of the night and promptly dies from her injury, a couple's remote cabin getaway becomes a psychological night of terror as they are hunted by an unknown assailant. Now they must go far beyond what they thought themselves capable of if they hope to save their young children and survive until morning.

This was a very scary novel.

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

This was a very scary novel, it kept me up at night because I wanted to see what new horror was around the corner. It is well worth finding out. I love that this story is the first book in the World’s Scariest Legends series, I can’t wait till the other novels are out. I enjoy that it’s based on “real” legends around the world. This story keeps building and building adding characters and backstories of these characters and the horror that has happened in the past and the horror that comes back to present day. I really enjoy this author’s novels, pick any of his novels up and you will not be disappointed.

A snoozer of epic proportions

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

This books rating as a best seller astounds me. The only top rating it earned for me was last place in all of the books I have ever read. A snails pace story that embodies a minute by minute account of a long family vacation/trip that has the reader grimacing in pain at the plodding, bored out of your mind narrative. If you have ever been on a long road trip with children in tow, you will get to re-experience, in detail the road conditions( we drove down bumpy roads) and mindless conversations (are we there yet?are we there yet? Are we there yet?) When they finally get there, mosquito man is about as scary and psychologically thrilling as a slug covered in salt. This is a book that the publisher should pay you to read, as you are going to mentally suffer during the time it takes you to finish and rush this book to the recycle bin.

Hair-raising!

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent thriller/horror story. For the first full half of the book the pace is fairly slow with little pieces of information strewn here and there. Then comes a scene when there is a loud bang on a door. And all hell breaks loose. The last 180 pages are a thrill a minute and the book is hard to get away from. I would put it down to do something and race right back to it. This is the tenth title by Jeremy Bates that I’ve read and he is the real deal. He is a bit of a mix of Stephen King and Richard Laymon. You won’t regret your purchase.

Not edge-of-seat stuff

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

I read this to the end, to see how the author would pull together the strings of the story. However, my goodness, does he spoil the tension completely by having pages and pages and pages of two small kids bickering! Every word is reported ... was he padding out his tale? I sometimes skipped over the endless child chat to get to the real story. This completely spoiled the "thrilling" part for me. To stop the thread of tension is almost unforgiveable in a book described as a thriller. I found the explanation in the end, and the description of the mine, too way out. I also cannot understand how the persons mentioned (no spoilers) managed to find their way back through the confusing tunnels. To me, not a succesful thriller.

Crazy Bloodsuckers

Rex lived to become an adult after a very traumatizing childhood. Now that he's older, most of his memories have blocked the events from that time. Now it's 20 years later and he is bringing his son as well as his girlfriend and her daughter to a cabin in a small town that his family used to live.
But the past never stays there and Rex is starting to remember things about his childhood....and then the cycle of deaths start all over again.

Enjoyed this very unique legend and it's definitely a page turner. Very much love this guy's writing!!

SPOILERS AHEAD don't read this review if you haven’t read the book

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

Again, don’t read this if you don’t want any spoilers, I just figure maybe the author reads these reviews. I really enjoyed this book and the author’s writing style, I plan on reading all of the scariest legends books now. It was a pretty easy, quick read. I’m disappointed with the ending. Why not say at least what happened to the kids? I mean as a mother, I can’t live with that lol. Other than that detail, 5 stars. I can’t wait to read the rest of the scariest legends books and would enjoy this being turned into a movie or series.

Old School Creature Feature!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book reminds me of the old Saturday afternoon creature feature movies. A man, his son and his girlfriend and her daughter go to the woods to spend the weekend at the man's cabin where his whole family disappeared from 40 years ago. Never a trace of them found. Two other families have also disappeared over the years. What they find is a forest creature and its lair, filled with bones. Human and non human. Read the book to see what happens. I highly recommend this book. You'll love it!!

Mosquito 🦟 man was one of the best thrillers that I have read in a while! I didn’t want to put the book down. Now my son who hates reading books 📖 is going to read it. Getting ready to read The sleep Experiment next. If the author Jeremy Bates reads these reviews could you please let me know if you wrote or are going to write more about the main characters and what happened with them? I’m dying to know. Thank you for a great book!

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

This has the makings of a good book but unfortunately the execution is poor.
It starts well but then slows to a snail's pace. For a relatively short book (fewer than 300 pages) to linger on the trivia concerning the main characters car journey to their "cabin in the woods" is a mistake.
The two children don't act like 5-year olds. When they should be frightened they are instead busy bickering and thinking/doing things simply necessary for the plot.
Flashbacks occur at inopportune moments so rather than leaving the reader on the edge of their seats, longing to see what happens next, it has the totally opposite effect and induces boredom. Furthermore, the last act is much too abrupt and brief.
Finally, given the number and bloodthirsty nature of the creatures responsible for all the mayhem, how is it possible that only a few people have disappeared over the years? I would have expected the whole state at the very least to have been wiped from existence.

Too unbelievable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

In the prologue, it states Rex's family died in 1981, yet further in the book it states his father bought him a present in 1985. Also in the prologue when the police car was parked outside the cabin the day after the disappearance there was a neighbour stopped to talk to them through the open window, yet later in the book it states it was late Summer & the family was the last people at the lake. Also who would drive to a cabin which had been left unlocked for 40 years without knowing what condition it was in, yet the furniture was still OK & the beds still had bedding on them good enough for children to sleep in. Too ridiculous.

Poorly written twaddle

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

The story lacks any subtlety, suspense or believability. This comes across as a book that an inexperienced 15 year old wannabe novelist would write - in fact that's probably an insult to the 15 year olds. There is no skill or craft on show here at all.

I did something I rarely do which is to completely stop around 60 pages in - I didn't even care enough about the conclusion to skim read to the end like I normally do with an unreadable book.

I apologise if I sound a little bitter, but when you invest some time (and possibly money) in a book, you expect there to be some reward - here there is absolulely none. Not worth the price I paid and I got it for free with Prime.

WORLD'S SCARIEST LEGENDS

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

When Rex, Tabitha and their two kids set off for a relaxing trip to Canada they find themselves fighting for survival in what can only be described as the holiday from Hell.
As usual Jeremy Bates had me hooked with this fast paced horror. I loved the World's Scariest Places series and it looks like The Worlds Scariest Legends series is going to be just as entertaining. Can't wait for the next one.

Another belter of a book from this amazing author - I never go on holiday without him. For me personally, its a shame he doesn't write faster. I literally can recommend every one of his books.
