I honestly don't know how to write this blog. The book just defies description.
Well, the author, David Wong, is the [or an, I'm nor entirely sure] editor of CRACKED.COM. If you have never been on this site, then you have never truly lived, but thats a different blog all together.
It's a horror novel, and it is so mind-bogglingly good...I just don't know how to put it into words. It's a sort of twisted fantasy, with ghosts and demons and shadow people and magic and hardcore drugs. THere's this one point where they need to get through a ghost door, and a girl with a hand missing is with them, but [either from magical drugs or ghost-glasses] they can see a ghost of her hand there, and she uses that to open the door, and it's awesome.
Come to think of it, that quote in an earlier blog about walking around the planet, thats from this book.
I really, really want every last one of you and every other human being to read this book.

Love when you read a book and one part always sticks in your brain. For me, with this book, it was these words.
ReplyDelete"PEOPLE DIE.
This is the fact the world desperately hides from us from birth. Long after you find out the truth about sex and Santa Claus, this other myth endures, this one about how you'll always get rescued at the last second and if not, your death will at least mean something and there'll be somebody there to hold your hand and cry over you. All of society is built to prop up that lie, the whole world a big, noisy puppet show meant to distract us from the fact that at the end, you'll die, and you'll probably be alone."
