Reluctant Immortals is a historical horror novel that looks at two men of classic literature, Dracula and Mr. But the past comes with you even when you escape not just the places you’re from, but their time period entirely. Rochester's attic-bound wife in Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre-as they band together to combat the toxic men bent on destroying their lives, set against the backdrop of the Summer of Love, Haight-Ashbury, 1967. In Reluctant Immortals, set in California in the 1960s, Lucy and Bee (as Bertha now calls herself) have found each other and fled to America for something resembling a fresh start. 2023 Bram Stoker Award Finalist for Superior Achievement in a Novelįor fans of Mexican Gothic, from three-time Bram Stoker Award–winning author Gwendolyn Kiste comes a novel inspired by the untold stories of forgotten women in classic literature-from Lucy Westnera, a victim of Stoker's Dracula, and Bertha Mason, Mr. ![]() ![]() ![]() His novels were epic in scope and global in range he anticipated 9/11 in a novel called The Last of Days, written, astonishingly, in 1983. Later he became the writer who single-handedly saved my career by taking my much-rejected novel The White Family to his friend and publisher Mai Ghoussoub at Saqi, who loved it and became my publisher too. He, Nina and stepdaughter daughter Rachel, and after Nina’s death his beloved partner Elaine Freed, were family to us, and Musa and Nina were loving godparents to our daughter Rosa. ![]() ![]() ![]() Both his passion to protect others from harm, seen in his work for PEN Writers in Prison Committee, and his inexhaustible desire to make people happy, may have sprung from tragedy, the death of nearly all his mother’s Jewish family in the Nazi death-camps. My husband Nick Rankin is also a writer we read Musa’s books, he read ours, and we printed off our just-finished manuscripts on his massive photocopier, always with a bottle of champagne. Moris Farhi (always called Musa) began for us back in 1981 as a great-hearted man, intellectual and writer who was one of our dearest friends, someone to laugh with and eat with and feel safe with, whose imagination and thinking were always global and generous. ![]() ![]() ![]() Speaking of our two main protagonists, they were the least interesting characters in the story. While I do love complex worldbuilding, it bogged down the story for the first 40% of the book, and I kept getting confused by which peoples had what characteristics if they weren’t the peoples of our main two protagonists. As the Arz grows and resources get more scare, both Zafira and Nasir find themselves on a journey to find a magical relic long buried on a dangerous island long presumed lost.Īnother nearly impossible to write description! The worldbuilding in this thing is complex, and its really hard to give a short summary of the plot outside of “awesome” girl and scary-but-hot boy go on a quest for a magical object. He assassinates all who cross his autocratic, despotic father, no matter how he feels on the subject. Nasir has a name of his own: Prince of Death. However, all respect Zafira has gained would be lost if folks were to find out that she was a girl. Zafira has gained respect amongst her community for being the only person brave enough to dare the forest of a the Arz – a rapidly growing magical forest from which most who enter don’t return. ![]() ![]() Readers will dig it, but they'll wish for more time with Max and his hardboiled world. The only disappointment in this tight, fast-paced homage to multiple pulp traditions is that it's so short. ![]() New York is drenched in warm colors and deep shadows, while the western flashbacks emulate the look of cheaply printed four-color pulp illustration, which transcends the gimmickry. ![]() In Phillips's photorealistic art, he can bash out violent action scenes in harsh, quick lines, then pause to render a subtle change in a character's expression. Behind all the action and atmosphere is a thoughtful, carefully developed look at the legacy of the lawless frontier, the rise of fascism, and the cruelty of a world where, unlike in the pulps, the bad guys often win. With his literary aspirations frustrated and his income drying up, he teams up with a former Pinkerton agent to pull off the crime of the decade: robbing Hitler's agents on the eve of the infamous Times Square Nazi rally. New York City, 1939: Max Winter is an aging pulp writer, spinning gunslinger yarns inspired by his own youth on the frontier, where he and his brothers were once outlaws. Brubaker and Phillips (Criminal) reunite in this comic with a killer hook, combining the best elements of westerns and crime noir for a double shot of classic pulp. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a war Aliza is ill-prepared to wage, on a battlefield she’s never known before: one spanning kingdoms, class lines, and the curious nature of her own heart.Įlle Katharine White infuses elements of Austen’s beloved novel with her own brand of magic, crafting a modern epic fantasy that conjures a familiar yet wondrously unique new world. something far more sinister than gryphons. Nor does she anticipate the mystery that follows them from Merybourne Manor, its roots running deep as the foundations of the kingdom itself, where something old and dreadful slumbers. ![]() With the arrival of the haughty and handsome dragonrider, Alastair Daired, Aliza expects a battle what she doesn’t expect is a romantic clash of wills, pitting words and wit against the pride of an ancient house. So when Lord Merybourne hires a band of Riders to hunt down the horde, Aliza is relieved her home will soon be safe again.

Passionate, headstrong Aliza Bentaine knows this all too well she’s already lost one sister to the invading gryphons. Brief Summary of Book: Heartstone (Heartstone, 1) by Elle Katharine White. They say a Rider in possession of a good blade must be in want of a monster to slay-and Merybourne Manor has plenty of monsters. A debut historical fantasy that recasts Jane Austen’s beloved Pride & Prejudice in an imaginative world of wyverns, dragons, and the warriors who fight alongside them against the monsters that threaten the kingdom: gryphons, direwolves, lamias, banshees, and lindworms. ![]() ![]() They professed guilt but no further than “What a shame”. He befell accidents through their irresponsibility and died. I’m not someone who gets through those sorts of subjects without great unease.Īnother reason for a star reduction is that two stories were unpleasant not in heartbreaking reaction to sadness but because they were awful. I was unprepared to be shown their origins: pets’ family life prior to death. I am accustomed to these non-fiction presentations starting with the ghost. That’s one reason these compelling, heavily emotional accounts get four-star feedback. It was definitely not the trivial former but not quite the latter. This collection might have been one of two types: unserious, with spookiness as the goal, or containing encouraging testimonies about loved ones staying near us after death uplifting and healing. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Our wonderful cats are sons and daughters.
