Does Clairol Dye Have Mteallic In It?

"The Nightwalker" by Kate Thompson

creature of the night , Kate Thomson, ed. RocaJoven, 2011 TEXT BACK



conflicted Bobby is a boy of 14 years. Stealing, made with foreign cars and get into trouble in general are part of his hobbies. That is, until his mother decided to move to Bobby and his younger brother Dennis to the field. They rented a house which is situated on the edge of a farm family takes Dooley. Dennis

insist that every night is a fairy, but it is a tiny old lady who appears at the hatch door dog and carrying a man's shirt. Besides the old lady has told Dooley that a child was killed in that house for some time ...

When this novel came to the bookstore and saw the cover and read her argument, cataloged as a young adult novel of terror. As I am interested in terror and more if it is oriented toward young, I decided to read it this weekend. No sooner said than done. It reads fast, is interesting, well written, but it pissed me entertained. Why? For this edition of creature of the night is dishonest. Everything about her seems bound to find a horror novel. Not really. It is a horror novel. Not even a fantasy novel. Neither contains a wonderful item. The night creature is cutting a social realist novel that chronicles the misadventures of a boy of fourteen, his problems with a dysfunctional family and their path to crime youth. The novel is this more a little mystery of disappearance which takes up little in the novel, which is anecdotal and it is without doubt the weakest of it (even if the trap is used to keep the reader ... the silence of night ... the presence ...).

is why I say that the presentation of the novel is dishonest (or at least the issue here has done Roca). You sell one thing and then gets you bent another. One expects a classic haunted house story with murder and is then included a picture of a guy fights with his mother, stealing a car and reintegration efforts by working in the field. And most Incredibly, the first thirty pages start out as a horror novel and haunted houses to ghost (in this case fairy) child included and disturbing. But once the masks are removed and the hero steals a car and start the social drama.

And it is this part of social realist drama and the best of the novel (and fortunately, that occupies more pages). Bobby is a good character. Hard, dense, contradictory. It is well written and defined. His need to give and receive love, yet the wounds he carries. The reader sympathizes with the character and feel their doubts and mistakes. And is nervous to see that is screwing things and that sometimes mistakes that for fear makes you want to and disappointed. The character of the mother is also very well drawn. Single mother of two children. At first I was fourteen years old. Overwhelmed by a responsibility he never wanted. Irresponsible. Conflict. Violent. Loving. His love collides with the wall of coldness and hardness of Bobby and his frustration erupts in the worst way. The rest of the characters become real to the viewer and one lives with them and feel the freshness of the countryside of Ireland on his face.

But ...

But not quite understand why the author puts in a subplot of mystery novel with a neighbor and a girl missing elderly woman who only sees the younger brother and legends about fairies. Reading the first pages, it appears that this will be the main argument, but no. Is diluted in the fights between Bobby, their leak to Dublin, his reflections on life crap, work in the field. Whenever the subject of fairy pointing, milk disappears, the neighbor who was never seen again, clueless and I had to remember what we were talking. This part of "mystery" I think that is missed, badly explained and that adds nothing significant to the story that really matters: the anxiety vital and Bobby crisis.

creature of the night I found a good novel with realistic characters well built, but with that annoying subplot that goes nowhere, but curiously Rock that has exploded in its English edition. And again, if someone searches for a horror novel or cutting fantastic, this is NOT his novel. If someone wants a realistic novel with good characters, then YES.

And one last note ... Is it me or see something more than a reasonable resemblance between the cover of The Creature of the Night and The House of Shadows published by Edebé?

And if someone questions it, that of Edebé was published earlier.

"Cycle of the Werewolf" Stephen King

cycle Werewolf, Stephen King, DeBols! Ment, 2010

There novels that over time they become mythical. They are not, do not read, they appear in lists, but have for years sold out and disappeared. Eagerly anticipates and when someone finally reissued or find them in the second hand stops, the wait is worth it and the novel becomes essential. Other novels not know, you do not hear even thought contral the work of the author and one day appear by surprise. When you read this thought comes to mind of how you might have lived without having read it before.

Cycle of the Werewolf not belong to either of these two categories. If one of the unknown, and no novels of Stephen King, it is by merit. Although Stephen King will defend one of the best American storytellers of the century and early twentieth century, when the shit, the shit thoroughly. To show the film he directed and end Shop

Twelve months. Twelve full moons. Twelve attacks a werewolf. And little else.

One of the great virtues of the work of Stephen King is his ability to maintain and provide new blood ancient myths of the novel of terror forever. I think the vampires of Salem's Lot , in the myth of the haunted house as well played in The Shining or Bag of Bones, or the mythical and essential reecración story William Wymark Jacobs monkey's hand in the wonderful climate and animals Cemetery, the game refers to dogs of Tantalus in the sympathetic Polaroid's dog . Naturally, each of these findings has a dark counterpart. King is one of the best, but also one of the most irregular.

And where do we put this Cycle of the Werewolf? Peorcito For what I've read from King. The origin of this short novel is a curious request. Someone decided to make a calendar on the figure of King Lycan and commissioned to compose a short texts accompany the artwork. Naturally, King spent Stpehen text length, the project was abandoned and the stories of the calendar is published in book form. So we met with twelve minihistory conductorio a tenuous thread to tell us the attacks of a werewolf in a small town.

Problem. No story, no characters, no stress, no terror, no literature. Only sketches of possible chapters extremely stereotypical characters in the line of King (the repressed, the abuser, alcoholic, etc.) And zero psychology. How big is King is the care with which traces the psychology of his characters, their contradictions and fine eye to remove the defects and the flashes of evil and madness within us. There's nothing here that. Someone might say that the brevity of the chapters does not allow the development of psychology or characters to which one might reply Monterroso recommended reading. In werewolf cycle nothing remarkable except for some image or some blunt words. The rest is bad. And worse, the rest remain indifferent. The best part? Some of the illustrations that accompany the novel. They are the best of Bernie Wrightson, but always watch your line is fine.

That itself can be a bad novel, but is not a boring novel. And that also need to know to recognize it.
