6/8/2023 0 Comments Mr was by pete hautman![]() ![]() ![]() Its not one that captivated me from page one, or took my breath away, but its good, solid, and very much worth reading. There are good, intriguing characters throughout the novel, and its quite well-written. Its interesting in terms of Lucys theories, in terms of how vampire legends started, but also just as a personal story, as the story of Lucys life. SWEETBLOOD is definitely an interesting novel, and very original. Lucys life is falling apart, and only she can pull the pieces together again. Shes sneaking out at night, her grades are plummeting rapidly, and she passes out at school because of an insulin reaction. When Lucy gets involved with an interesting crowd-including a real vampire, a cute boy from school, and a bunch of burnout Goths-she starts to lose control of her life. Lucy believes that vampire legends were inspired by dying diabetics-the uncontrollable thirst, the deathlike appearance. Lucy Szabo is diabetic, and thats lead her to think up some interesting theories about vampires. ![]() 6/8/2023 0 Comments Hellraiser by Clive Barker![]() ![]() ![]() Notably, it wasn’t a standard slasher flick. With each passing sequel, the movies were getting worse and worse reviews, and the box-office returns per film were dwindling quickly. ![]() By the time Hellraiser hit theaters, Halloween had released three films (with a fourth and fifth on the way), Friday the 13th had released seven films, and Nightmare had released three (with a fourth installment soon to come in 1988). However, in 1987, the genre was petering out and the endless line of terrible sequels had tainted the reputation of horror as a whole. In 1984, A Nightmare on Elm Street was able to breathe new life into the genre by offering a new twist and allowing the kills to become more and more outlandish and sensational since they took place in the realm of dreams. The late ’70s and early ’80s had brought the slasher boom, with Halloween and Friday the 13th becoming cultural phenomenons. When the film hit theaters, horror was in a very weird place. 1987 was a tumultuous year for the horror genre ![]() 6/7/2023 0 Comments The Love Game by Emma Hart![]() ![]() That means trouble - but when her brother Pearce turns up in Berkeley begging for her help, she realises Braden and Pearce aren't so alike anymore.Īnd maybe, just maybe, they're exactly what each other needs.

When no one had told him? No, I don't think he would. If you were tall and you made a mistake – even if it was only your first day – you got, "You should know better, big lad like you." Why, by the way? Why should a big lad know better just because he's big? King Kong's a big lad. If you were taller than someone, you must be older than them. In St Joan of Arc Primary the teachers seemed to think that height and age were the same thing. It's not like I had to try very hard, is it?
