About this ebook
Seit über hundert Jahren haben die Menschen von Prairie Bend seinen Namen nur hinter vorgehaltener Hand und erfüllt von Furcht geflüstert: Nathaniel. Einige behaupten, er existiere nur in der Phantasie - wieder andere schwören, er sei ein böser Geist, gekommen, um die Vergangenheit zu rächen.
Doch schon bald werden die Bewohner von Prairie Bend erkennen, dass Nathaniel, der Prophet des Unheils, noch immer am Leben ist - in jenem alten, verfallenen Schuppen, den niemand zu betreten wagt...
Nathaniel, John Sauls siebter Roman (und erstmals im Jahre 1984 erschienen), gilt zu Recht als Meisterwerk und Klassiker der modernen Horror-Literatur. Der Apex-Verlag veröffentlicht den Roman in seiner Reihe APEX HORROR als neu übersetzte Neuausgabe.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A regular reader of Saul...….I have to say this. The ending was fluid and ambiguous and left you wondering. For the most part it is pretty decent. John Saul= Evil children. Just like Dean Koontz=On the run with golden retrievers.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A good, solid, entertaining experience. Mildly suspenseful, though the surprises and twists and turns are well above average; meaning, I did not see the left and right hooks coming and was a bit taken aback in a very enjoyable way. Saul's prose for a genre writer is surprisingly above average, his pacing is excellent, and the characters, especially the young boy with the gift (or is it a curse?) of thought perception/communication, are well fleshed out and able to draw the reader into their psyches of turmoil, fear, & courage. Not the happiest of endings I might add, which makes me extremely happy and desirous of reading some more early John Saul."Nathaniel's" premise goes like this: Widow & her son with unbeknownst esp return to her husband's hometown, where he died mysteriously in a barn some few months previously (the widow's husband had not been back to his hometown since before he'd met his wife, and had never spoken about his family with his wife, which adds to the mystery of the storyline) and look to settle in order to raise her nine year old son and the baby -- her dead husband's -- on the way. Her husband's family seems okay at first, but events soon demonstrate otherwise, particulary with her father-in-law and his overly strict relationship with her son. Her son begins seeing and hearing things emanating from the barn of a cantankerous, reclusive neighbor. He struggles with friendships because of his unique paranormal abilities. Talk of Nathaniel soon transpires. Who is, or was, Nathaneil? Are the sick, twisted, sad rumors regarding Nathaniel true? And why are so many newborns in the family, presently and in the past, born dead? The plot thickens weaving in and out of these questions, which are all ultimately answered, though the answers aren't really the answers a hopeful, optimistic reader -- heh heh heh -- expected.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Told in a straight forward, easy-to-read manner, Saul's Nathaniel had me gripped in the first few pages. It's always a good sign when you form visceral gut reactions to characters, so much so that you want certain things to happen to them. I'm immediately invested. The pages flipped by as if time had stopped. The book had just the right mixture of creepy and scary. It would make a great movie. I discovered this book by accident in a Little Free Library, and I'm glad I did.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5john saul's plot lines are sometimes unsettling. in short, when it was all over, you are left wondering: "huh?" Happy endings? fagaddaboutit. that's why Hollywood leaves his books alone. In this story, he doesn't kill off the protagonist (Mark?), but does something just as weird, and where did that big black dog come from. he painted it as being a familiar with nathaniel, but at the end the dog attacks Nathaniel. I think. That's what I mean about being unsettling. If someone asks what the story is about, I would be hard put to give the essence.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nathaniel is a name spoken in whispers by the people of a small, rural town in the Midwest. It harbors old stories and pains of days that they pretend never happen, but will one day come out and kill those who wronged the young man named Nathaniel. When a widow and her son arrive in this town, they find themselves caught in the story of Nathaniel's past, and bring about change, both good and bad.This was much better than the last Saul book I read--The Homing--and a lot of fun to read. I finished this book relatively quick, and it was pretty good. I look forward to reading more of Saul's works.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Typical Saul fiction about evil children--atmospheric but with an incoherent ending
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Easy and enjoyable to read - in just a couple of days. It's another wonderfully creepy novel from the mind of John Saul.
