In the deepest, darkest jungles of Indochina, an ancient evil is waiting in a forgotten, primeval valley. It is patient, monstrous, and bloodthirsty.

Now Michael Spiers, a Marine sniper, the only survivor of a previous encounter with the beast, is going after it again. Against his better judgement, he is made part of a Marine Force recon team that will hunt it down and destroy it. The hunters are about to become the hunted.

Another great read. Curran delivers once more
By Zombie_Gunslinger
I've been following Curran on and off for the last 5 or 6 years. It's true, there was a time where I wasn't reading any of his work because it all seemed the same: over-descriptive writing, gore in place of a a decent storyline, repeated plots and recycled violence. However, in more recent months, I've found myself returning to his works, and it seems that time off has been totally worth it. Curran has stepped up his game, writing quicker, more action-packed novellas in place of the plodding, sometimes boring novels of previous years. Now, in Grimweave, Curran once again returns to Vietnam, only, unlike Headhunter, this time, the creature he creates is far more scary and gruesome:
"The Creature was waiting for him. It was sitting there, clinging to the lip of the chasm like some great and impossible insect about the size of a pickup...or maybe two of them. It was some sort of thing Spiers had seen through the scope, only much, much larger. Its body was wide and low, cream-colored, roughly figure eight-shaped, like two plated discs joined together, each of which seemed to be formed of interlocking segments. Not smooth in the least, but chitinous and ridged, convoluted with bony furrows and narrow furrows like ribs, lots of knobs and hollows set between. And spines. A series of them rose from its dorsal plates and each of them looked long enough to skewer a man. Obscenely skeletal, the creature had at least ten legs, maybe as many as a dozen, each big around as a fence post and jointed like those of a crab. A sheer membrane of flesh webbed them together at the upper extremities. At each leg was a bulging pod that oozed nets of spreading, living webs. It looked like a living exoskeleton."
If there is any doubt that Curran is one of the most descriptive, highly visual authors in the field, that quote, directly from the book, should shut down any naysayers. That he has such a rich imagination doesn't surprise me, but the fact that he can translate that into words and sentences so rich in detail and vivid illustration is a skill that all authors want, but few can immolate. Even now, as I work on my own short stories and formulate ideas for others, it's Curran's strong talent that has been a huge inspiration for me. In a way, it's unfortunate that Curran still sneaks under the radar in literary circles, however, the fact that he seems to be grossly underrated isn't necessarily a bad thing. I can only imagine how much his work would suffer should he, somehow, sign a massive contract with Scribner or Harper.
Grimweave may not be quite as strong as Hive or Hive 2 (both of which really introduced me to the Cthulhu mythos and Lovecraft as a whole), but don't let that keep you from giving it a shot. It's actually a lot of fun and a quick, entertaining read.

The dialogue is horrible and it’s like the author watched Full Metal Jacket ...
By P.M.G.
Wow, I powered through this book because of all the positive reviews and figured the end would have a big payoff. Boy was that the wrong call! Where to begin?
All of the characters in the book are one-dimensional and I found myself rooting against them. The action described in the book is mediocre. The dialogue is horrible and it’s like the author watched Full Metal Jacket and Predator on side by side TVs, then tried to use the foul-mouthed rants to fill pages in between the story of those two movies merging together. And though the derogatory homophobic misogynist language is rampant, the author refrains from using ugly racial slurs which were common at the time (this is a period piece set during the Vietnam conflict). Go all in or stay out!
And then comes the adjectives. How many ways can we describe the heat and humidity of the jungle? Read every other page and find out…we get it…it’s hot and humid.
I’m pretty sure the author never re-read his work after his first draft because of the inconsistencies on every page. At some points the jungle is so still and silent, only to have the next paragraph talk about the incessant chirping of the bats overhead…huh? The group is well-disciplined veterans only a page later to be sniveling in fear, then back to “the mission comes first” trained killers they are…WTF? And my favorite, a certain character is killed in front of everyone, and two pages later the main character asks about him coming back from looking around with the others (Chapter 23). It’s called proof-reading.
And just to get nit-picky, does the author seriously not have any military friends that could at least give the story a once over? The ranks are wrong…Any Lance Corporal that ever called Master Gunnery Sergeant, “Gunny,” would wake up with a broken jaw knowing never to demote him again. “Gunny” is for a Gunnery Sergeant and “Master Guns” can be the affectionate term for a Master Gunnery Sergeant, which is a full two ranks higher than a Gunny. You also wouldn’t ever refer to the man as “NCO Carmody”…it’s Master Gunnery Sergeant Carmody (and he’s an SNCO for Staff Non-Commissioned Officer). Those are just irritating points. One infuriating thing is that no officer would act the way the Major acted, much less consider killing one of his men because it’s slowing the mission down (the worst thing any officer deals with is the loss of anyone in their command).
Without giving away any spoilers, the explanation at the end of the book was unoriginal and made little sense with the way events unfolded.
Overall, this is a horrible read and you’re better off watching atrocious movies on SyFy rather than devoting any time to this.

Grimweave sticks with you!
By Robert Nash
Are you ready to be terrified again? If you're a fan of Tim Curran's work like I am, then this book will not disappoint. It's full of the classic chilling drama that we have all come to expect from his work. The characters are all very cool, especially Spiers. Man goes through the stuff, and you just aren't sure how he will come out, or even if he will at all. I found the creatures to be particularly unnerving, mainly due to a certain fear that I have...lol. This book offered me everything I fully expected it to. I recommend this, not only to fan's of Tim Curran, but to fans of sci-fi/horror in the first place. You will not be sorry that you picked this up.
