Combining delicious elements of "Pet Sematary," "Moby Dick," Lovecraftian mythology and genuinely complex and likeable characters, "The Fisherman" is at once a thoughtful homage to the desperation of sorrow as well as a damned clever and frightening exercise in literary horror.Ĭomment threads are monitored for 48 hours after publication and then closed. But what if an apocryphal stream - Dutchman's Creek - flows into the Beyond and can reunite the Living and the Dead? And at what cost? Langan packages the real-time friendship narrative as bookend sections around a central flashback that explains the origins of the haunted Dutchman's Creek - a necessary component that, despite its artful and creative construction, goes on a bit too long (if only because we want to get back to Abe and Dan). Speaking of which, when Abe and Dan, two upstate New York friends use fishing as a bond over the shared misery of their status of recent widowers, their weekend sojourns at first seem healing - or at least genuine distractions. I would recommend this book for any fans. ![]() Langan is a gorgeous stylist whose prose is as seductive as a necromantic rite. 2 reviews have 1 stars Modern Literary Horror Superbly written, and spine tinglingly creepy. ![]() ![]() I would like to pause just for a few precious moments to calm my mind to slide from my world of lists and piles of laundry, of last night's dishes in the sink Let's read each other bedtime stories as I drift into unconsciousness Disconnecting from today to pile my pillows all around my head A soft warm handmade quilt, my cozy nook to curl up with my favorite book I would like to take a restoring nap upon my king size bed.

I love the way that Poirot referred to this type of murder in a previous book as his "ultimate crime to solve". This book was as wonderful as any other of her tales. Was Cards on the Table worth the listening time? Agatha Christie is always a winner, and even though I read them all many years ago, I'm having a lot of fun listening to them again. I think High Fraser does a good job with the narration, and it is all the more fun since he played Captain Hastings in the Poirot TV series. But there are many more twists and turns till the murderer is revealed in the end. Poirot cleverly uses the score sheets from the bridge game to ascertain who was playing the game at various times. ![]() Alas, the man who believed he could figure out who was a murderer quickly becomes the murder victim. ![]() Shaitana, a man who has boasted he can pick up on clues to people who have committed murder, invites the four sleuths, along with four other people, to play two tables of Bridge.

In my own mind, I kind of think of Agatha Christie mysteries as being sort of "A list" and "B list." To me, this book is on the "B list," but not because it is bad only because it is not quite as wonderful as some others (I don't personally think there are any bad AC novels). ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments The track series by jason reynolds![]() ![]() School Library Journal and The New York Times named it one of the best middle grade chapter books of the year.

Each of Stephen King's novels is impeccable in its own right, but some are certainly better than others. Misery is one of those books I feel like this story almost synonymous with Kathy Bates now. King has quickly become known as the king of literary horror, with a legacy that could make his last name the definition of the genre. Over the years, he has written screenplays with his son Joe Hill - of NOS4A2 and Locke & Key fame - and co-authored a novel with his youngest son, Owen King, titled Sleeping Beauties. King also commonly collaborates with other writers. There are numerous upcoming King stories in development to become a series or movie. Movie adaptations of Stephen King books are released at the same frequency as his literary tales, with at least one making its debut every year since 1980. 11.22.

There aren’t really new events, more or less what happens here happened in the previous book too, but the strange thing is that it felt like a completely different book. ![]() ![]() With this novel the author wants to give us that chance maybe he did so to make Tim a more likable candidate to Ben’s love for many fans of the previous book, but to me it was more the chance to know better someone I liked, and that I wanted to understand better. This is something missing in the previous book, especially when Tim and Ben part Tim in college, his relationship with Eric, the man who will leave him an inheritance big enough to allow him independence, are all things we learned in pieces, but that we don’t really had the time to comprehend. ![]() Something Like Winter is not a sequel, it’s the same story from Tim’s point of view. And of course this allowed Ben to meet and love Jace, that, this time like the other readers, I loved and thought was the best characters of them all. While it was sad to see them split in high school, I think it was a necessary step in their growing process. ![]() Elisa_rolle On the contrary of most other readers of the previous book, Something Like Summer, I didn’t dislike Tim, actually I thought he had his reasons, and that, in a way, Ben was pushing him. ![]() |
