It starts out with a triple murder, then more murder, and as a topper an innocent child is abused and molested in typical Laymon style. This is about a house rumored to contain a blood-thirsty beast. I have rated this book 5 twisted □□□□□ stars!! I recommend this book only to horror lovers who are open to "anything goes" in their choice of reading material. I thought the book was well-written even though it was disturbing in many parts, but isn't horror mean't to be disturbing, shocking or downright frightening? This story is not for the faint hearted or if a reader is easily offended by graphic violence, language and sex, since it has it all. I have to laugh when I read some of the reviews because this is a true horror book and not to be taken so seriously. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. (Richard Laymon was not in my vocabulary in that lifetime). I thought this was my first Richard Laymon book but when I reached a certain part, I realized I read this book when I was still a teenager and never forgot how disturbing it was but I had no idea it was an R.L. Well! There must be something wrong with me because I really enjoyed reading this twisted story.

These days, the polar bears in the region are hungrier than ever, "because of global warming. This summer, the writer who recalls that "I spent a lot of my childhood without electricity" worked at an Inuit sewing, healing and literacy camp on the treeless side of the Canadian far north. In 1972, her landmark guide to Canadian literature carried the title Survival 30 years later, the harassed vagrant "Snowman" stumbled through a mutant-infested genetic wasteland left by ecological disaster and botched science in the novel Oryx and Crake. Times are perennially tough in Atwood territory, with the graces of civilisation often a thin veneer waiting for a lethal crack from without - or, generally, from within. Predation and survival, the dance of the hunters and the hunted, runs like a red thread through the explorations of human nature, and non-human nature, that have made Atwood one of the most widely admired and avidly followed writers at work in the world today.

A pupil of Ono's raised the possibility of him purchasing Sugimura's house after Sugimura's death. This show of status mattered because of the impending marriage negotiations for Ono's older daughter Setsuko, who was approaching an appropriate age for marriage. He recalls that his wife pressured him to buy the family a new home in order to display the family's status. The narrator then launches into his own memories of that unusual sale fifteen years ago. This man's name was Akira Sugimura, and his family sold the house to Ono for a value far below the house's real worth. Rather, the man who owned the house before him and who built it was well-regarded in their city. Contrary to what we might believe based on the house's grandeur, Ono reports, he isn't wealthy. Though he doesn't identify himself, we find out later that the narrator is a man named Masuji Ono. Our first-person narrator begins the story by giving us directions to his home, using a second-person address to explain how the reader might stumble upon his grand and well-positioned home.

In Stone's version, Savages' violence is more graphic than necessary. Stone keeps the multi-layered characters and their unconventional lifestyle as well as the unabashed sexuality, gallows humor and violence of Winslow's novel.īut Stone doesn't know when to stop. Savages benefits greatly from Oliver Stone's gonzo, unrestrained direction and, at the same time, it suffers from Oliver Stone's gonzo, unrestrained direction. And while the transition to the big screen is not completely smooth, the movie version of Savages retains the spirit of the novel. Savages' storyline seemed tailor-made for the movies. Winslow's 13th novel, which put him on myriad best of the year lists, was written in an unconventional style with one-word chapters and sentences running vertically down the page the opening chapter was just two words, one of which was "you." Don Winslow's 2010 novel Savages was a bold, audacious story showcasing the author's skill at creating fringe characters who seem perfectly normal, extreme action - both over the top and yet restrained- and tight as a drum dialogue.Īnd Savages could not have been more timely as it vividly showed the connection between the Southern California drug culture and the Mexican cartels, which continues to be in the news.

So let us momentarily rejoice, because this month sees an abundance of challenging and inspiring new books from some of our must beloved LGBTQ authors. There is, I think, still time in the day to appreciate them. The summer is approaching its end, and another set of amazing LGBTQ literature is upon us. Across the country, people protest for racial justice. When we talk about history in textbooks it is often as discrete events, cordoned off from both each other and the rest of the universe, but that isn’t how that works. Recently, and while compiling this list of forthcoming LGBTQ books, I’ve found myself struck again and again by the realization that the rest of the world doesn’t stop during moments of historical significance. |
