She doesn’t need a job, but she needs the distraction that staying busy gives her. Tova Sullivan lives a quiet life keeping her little house tidy and working as a night shift janitor at the Sowell Bay Aquarium. It’s a debut novel from Shelby Van Pelt, and I certainly hope to see so much more from her in the future, because I need to regularly ugly cry at the end of a book to remember I am actually human. This was my favorite of my reads for 2022. When I decided to restart the blog, I couldn’t think of a better book to begin than a review for this gem. ![]() ![]() ![]() Having a strong relationship with existentialist philosophy, absurdist plays sought to focus on the idea of meaningless human existence resulting in the breakdown of communication within a play. In absurdist plays, such as Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, it is typical to see an illogical use of words, which can bring about distrust of language being used as a means of communication. ![]() However, the act of communication is predominantly governed by the use of language. We can converse, we can write, we can even sing and we can also use physical interaction, whether it be affectionate or cruel, as a means of communicating with one another.

A spellbinding portrait of a human community struggling to establish its place in the world, Alaska traces a bold and majestic history of the enduring spirit of a land and its people. The exciting high points of Alaska’s story, from its brutal prehistory, through the nineteenth century and the American acquisition, to its modern status as America’s thriving forty-ninth state, are brought vividly to life in this remarkable novel: the gold rush the tremendous growth and exploitation of the salmon industry the discovery of oil and its social and economic consequences the difficult construction of the Alcan Highway, which made possible the defense of the territory in World War II.

And the fact that the vampire hunts in the infamous subway system only intensifies the creepy atmosphere. It’s the perfect setting for vampires to lurk in the shadows and wreak havoc on an unsuspecting public. (As you do.)įirst off, I love that the story is set in New York City – a sleazy, grimy, gritty type of New York. ![]() The main premise of this book is that there is a vampire terrorizing the New York subway system and a group of strangers, who start out only being loosely connected to each other, band together to Thwart Evil and Save the Day. You know those old-school horror novels from the 80s? The ones chockfull of gut-churning gore, explicit sex (and rape) scenes, the ones that are over-the-top and slightly ridiculous? The Light at the End definitely belongs to that category – which makes it an incredibly fun read. Worst of all, they know that his kind has ruled the night for centuries, and that down in the tunnels, the night lasts forever. Only a handful of people know the truth about the creature stalking Manhattan’s cavernous underground…a creature with an uncontrollable thirst for blood and domination. But they’re both wrong – because what they’re looking for isn’t even human. ![]() The tabloids cry ‘Subway Psycho’ and the cops search for a serial killer. Ten murders on the New York City subway – all horrible, no two alike. ![]() |
