(I became a huge fan of Magik in the early 90s, shortly after she had died, and appreciated Inferno as back issues.) Hell, the name doesn't even make sense on its own nothing much having to do with fire happened with this story. Let's set aside the fact I actually enjoyed the original "Inferno" event from 1990, and this miniseries had nothing to do with it. ![]() ![]() With only one week until the big day, thousands of tourists have flocked to the city, paralyzing traffic and jamming the French Quarter with drunken crowds and garbage. ![]() It’s Mardi Gras season in post-Katrina New Orleans. AND Voo Doo plays a big part-this is New Orleans.Ĭan this hospital be saved from being destroyed by sinister forces?įirst book in the Alex Destephano series. A high ranking official is being blackmailed. Bonnet has property that the mob wants-he is not selling. ![]() It takes place in New Orleans in a hospital that is actually doing quite well and is in no hurry to become part of a conglomerate. I personally sat here and read it straight through in about 3 hours. This novel will keep you riveted-I defy you to put it down once you have started. I will be getting the other two and any more in this series that come out. ![]() ![]() If you are a fan of medical mysteries, which of course as everyone knows by now-I definitely am one-you will absolutely love this novel! I am not totally sure if this was the first in the series or the second (some places say the first-others the second but it is a definite stand alone read. ![]() ![]() But no one knew what sort of life they were going back to. Thomas was sure that escape from the maze meant he and the Gladers would get their lives back. All they know is that every morning when the walls slide back, they will risk everything - even the Grievers, half-machine, half-animal horror that patrol its corridors, to try and find out. Like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they came to be there - or what's happened to the world outside. ![]() ![]() He's surrounded by boys who welcome him to the Glade - a walled encampment at the centre of a bizarre and terrible stone maze. When the doors of the lift crank open, the only thing Thomas remembers is his first name. ![]() ![]() ![]() An aspiring poet (throughout his life he will continue to enter poetry competitions, never winning), he woos her in the courtliest fashion: with letters, serenades, verses inscribed on the petals of flowers. ![]() In all the years before and after the prize, he continued to write fiction that sputtered and smoldered with a fitful brilliance strongly written, but thematically disappointing works that never quite matched the already fulfilled promise of his early masterpiece of Magic Realism.There are no fantastic happenings in "Love in the Time of Cholera."

Post-apocalypticism features in "Doom City" (written for Charlie Grant's 1987 anthology Greystone Bay II) and "Something Passed By." Both of these are decent reads, and the mixed-up town of the latter is filled with places like Straub Street, King's Lane, Ellison Field, Barker Promenade, and McDowell Hill. But the " magical Negro" and one-dimensional sentimentality of "Yellachile's Cage" seems not a patch on King's "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption." The venomous insects of "Yellowjacket Summer" are pretty nasty, and this story works in a straightforward manner. The best story is probably "Nightcrawlers," about a maddened Vietnam vet whose nightmares come to life (wow, really) in an out-of-the-way diner. His prose is so mild that I was never hooked, never captivated. ![]() The writing is simplistically homespun, the metaphoric descriptions amateurish, the psychological insights jejune, the storylines passable but unremarkable for the most part. ![]() 6/9/2023 0 Comments A molecule away from madness![]() ![]() There’s Friedrich Miescher, who isolated DNA in the mid–19th century, and Nancy Wexler, who located the gene that causes Huntington’s disease in 1979. ![]() ![]() In vivid prose, Peskin brings to life the scientists who have contributed to the current “molecular” understanding of such conditions as memory loss and sudden personality shifts.
