![]() ![]() The book is set in a new world, the Norse-inspired Vigrið, within the Shattered Realms. The Tainted – descendants of the gods’ children – are kept as slaves in thrall collars, sold to the highest bidder as symbols of status and power. Warbands travel the world searching for relics of the gods for fame and fortune. The gods fought themselves to extinction but their remains still hold power, as does the blood flowing through the veins of their descendants. I was always going to like this book it was just a question of how much. I loved the Banished Lands books and couldn’t wait to get my hands on this new release, especially after seeing the gorgeous cover design. The Shadow of the Gods, book one of the Bloodsworn by John Gwynne, was my most anticipated release of the year. ** Review copy supplied by Netgalley, with my thanks to them and to the publisher: Little, Brown Book Group / Orbit ** The Shadow of the Gods, Bloodsworn #1, by John Gwynne ![]()

The result is another resonant, haunting volume of graphic nonfiction written and drawn in the key of Edward Hopper. She returns this month with “Seek You ,” an exploration of loneliness in America, a subject that has become increasingly germane in the five years since she began her project. ![]() (I can relate.) Her first book, a pensive graphic memoir titled “ Imagine Wanting Only This” (2017), was driven by her determination to wrap her head around the impermanence of things, whether bright and beautiful or blighted.

By expanding the individual into the collective, however, what Finney really created with his novel is more akin to a new mythology. What Jack Finney did with the doppelganger trope in The Body Snatchers is often relegated to a generic categorization the novel is either science fiction or a horror or some hybrid of the two. Typically, however, the doppelgänger is limited to a single character, thus enhancing the dramatic tension of being the only one who knows the truth while everyone else thinks him crazy. The idea that each of us has exact double out there has long been used as a literary trope known as the “doppelganger.”ĭoppelgangers have been at the center of stories by writers ranging from Poe to Dostoevsky and from Charlotte Bronte to Stephen King. The disorder is characterized by just one dominating symptom: the sufferer is convinced that loved ones have been replaced by imposters who are exact physical duplicates. In 1923, a French psychiatrist named Joseph Capgras co-authored a paper with Jean Reboul-Lachaux that described a bizarre condition which would eventually become a disorder named Capgras Syndrome. ![]() We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.

Squeak into a gap in the soil, turn, and unlock-more than a maple- a universe. If you can find them they shift and vanish too. We are making hay when we should be making whoopee we are raising tomatoes when we should be raising Cain, or Lazarus. The world is wilder than that in all directions, more dangerous and bitter, more extravagant and bright. It is so self-conscious, so apparently moral, simply to step aside from the gaps where the creeks and winds pour down, saying, I never merited this grace, quite rightly, and then to sulk along the rest of your days on the edge of rage. “Thomas Merton wrote, “there is always a temptation to diddle around in the contemplative life, making itsy-bitsy statues.” There is always an enormous temptation in all of life to diddle around making itsy-bitsy friends and meals and journeys for itsy-bitsy years on end. ![]() ![]() An outrageous and touching memoir, this is the story of a teenage mother who, as her son grows up, becomes an adult herself.
