5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun!

I really enjoyed reading a play this way. The Atomic Monster from Out of Space (The Amateur Vile-Horrors Book 2) by Chris Raven is very well done. It is also laugh out loud funny in many parts. Set as a 1950's genre of monster movie, we are immediately drawn into the investigation of missing teens and the story twists and gets quirky-cool from there. I’d love to see this acted out and really like how the author has laid it all out for a production. Enjoyable to read this way, but hope it gets produced! Five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful, Quirky Flasback

Mr. Raven has crafted an entertaining, funny play. As I was reading The Atomic Monster from Out of Space, I could actually visualize what each actor was doing on stage.

This play would make a great high school, university, off Broadway or on Broadway production. All of the characters and scenes are engaging and fun, and I can only imagine once the singing and music are added, it will only add to its charm.

This play is a delightful, quirky flashback to the horror movies of the 1950's.

An unusual, but no-less entertaining mixture of humor, horror, music and mayhem.

Harking back to the science fiction, monster, horror B-movies of the 1950's, The Atomic Monster From Out Of Space adds a musical twist. Formatted as a stage-play, this book is set in an American town on the edge of a swamp. During a dance competition, William Denning is trying to keep the peace, but rowdy teenagers will soon be the least of his troubles. A reported sighting of something hideous lurking in the swamp by two youngsters on a school camping trip sets Officer Denning on the case.

Various scenes come with song lyrics for the musical numbers. Songs such as: Freeze! (So all you punks had better just... freeze!), Hideous Green Monster (Hideous green monster come knocking, knocking at my shed door.), and Since You Made Me A Thing (I'm no longer anything, since you made me a thing.)

Just reading this book doesn't do it credit. You can easily imagine the scenes playing out, but the true impact of this story will be when it's seen performed live on stage.
