I love that whole force of nature slasher concept. I’m a huge Friday the 13 th fan (as evidenced by my Jason tattoo), so I had Jason in mind when I conjured the Wraith. When I sat down to write Slash, I knew the hardest part was going to be creating a killer that was both familiar to horror fans, yet brand-slashing new. ![]() I can promise you it had nothing to do with the 80s Charlie Sheen ghost-car movie. ![]() This question is from John Lynch who reviews for Night Worms, John asks “How did you come up with the character, The Wraith”?.And now we have the brand new Slash, an homage to the movies I love so much. It’s a fun weird western with all manner of horrors and old west tough guys. Earlier this year, they published a book I had produced with Samhain Publishing, Hell Hole, which I re titled Ghost Mine. I was honored to be part of last year’s kick-off for the horror line with Creature, an original written expressly for Flame Tree. They’ve been a wonderful team to work with – very professional and committed to putting out a superior product, as evidenced by the lovely trade paperback and hardcover book designs, ebooks and audio.

The first shop of the morning sold candy. Was it like Ray-bit or Rab-bit or something else entirely? She had reached out and touched it, reading the tag as she did so, Rabbit, and wondering how to pronounce the word. She remembered staring at one of the puppets: its flopsy ears, four legs, and gray fur. There was the toy store with the large selection of fantastical creature puppets that she had been in when her parents left her. There was the kitchenware’s store she had bought a knife in on the day that her sister was taken. She sometimes soothed herself to sleep at night, when her feet were aching from walking and she could hear cash registers still dinging echoes in her ears, by trying to remember what shop she had been in at various points in her life. She tried to calculate how many sections she had covered since she had begun shopping but it seemed like an infinite amount. Tamsin was almost to a new section of the Mall. ![]() She must have built up enough credit by now. She’d been preparing for years and was in the best shape of her life. ![]() That wasn’t as many as some but it was more than many. She tried, always, to cover at least 17 shops each day. She woke, she showered, she ate, and then she shopped. Tamsin woke up at seven am, on the dot, every morning. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Shakespeare said, “To thine own self be true, and it must follow.

Their is OW drama and mild OM (which was all in his head). Safety: He was a manwhore and she is a virgin (which made no sense as she was engaged). Partially recommend to those who like Jordan Silver books and those who like a cowboy story with some spicy and sassy. Now loads more happen in this story but honestly I think I have said enough already.

The story is quite simple really the hero Grant is an experienced man with an established ranch that boarders the heroine Camille. ![]() There is one scene in particular that would have really bothered me, but after reading her more recent work, this was a very tame book. Now this book is not for everyone as it has some very questionable behaviour on the part of the hero. MILD SPOILERS AHEAD (however if you know JS this is more her MO) ![]() ![]() In telling her parents' story, Bui offers a different narrative about the Vietnam War from the one usually seen in American films and textbooks. It also touches on important themes such as historical memory and narrative. The novel touches on many themes, including family, parenthood, belonging, the meaning of home, and the importance of education. Bui claims she was inspired by other autobiographical graphic novels like Art Spiegelman's Maus and Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis. For the next ten years, she trained herself to draw comics and developed the novel. She wanted to share her work on a larger scale. ![]() Bui shared her family's history in the thesis project, but that work was ultimately only available to her family and her graduate school advisor and peers. According to Bui, under the umbrella of academic work and oral history, she began having long and difficult conversations with her parents about topics that were uncomfortable for them to share. The idea for the novel began when Bui was working on her Master's thesis and conducted oral history interviews with her parents. It chronicles Thi Bui's parents' life before and during the Vietnam War, their escape from Vietnam when Bui was a child, and their eventual migration to the United States as refugees. ![]() The Best We Could Do is a 2017 illustrated memoir written by Thi Bui. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That said, I do put my historian hat on at times, and what you see is, well, history.

The site is intended for noncommercial educational and private use by those interested in the history and heritage of this amazing continent. This web site is an attempt to share a glimpse of the "old days" at South Pole and elsewhere in Antarctica, in the perspective of the present day, along with news, trivia, photos, links, and other Pole stuff that I think is neat. ![]() ![]() But before he can figure out where to go, he has to decide who he wants to be.
