For years I’ve lived with the sadness of knowing that she, too, was a helpless victim – a victim of a terrible disease that consumed and destroyed the strong and caring woman I had once called Mom. I experienced first-hand the terror of watching someone I loved transform into a monster, the terror of discovering that I was to be her primary victim. I had what every teenager wants: a stable family, a nice home in the suburbs, a great group of friends, big plans for my future, and no reason to believe that any of that would ever change. I was sixteen years old, a junior in high school and an honors student. One of the books suggested was today’s recommended read, the memoir On Hearing Of My Mother’s Death Six Years After It Happened by Lori Schafer. The post had a great response (and I’m still looking for more, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know). The only rules were that you couldn’t suggest more than one (like that stopped you) and you couldn’t promote your own book. At the beginning of the year I took on a reading challenge, and I asked people for their suggestions on indie books they’ve enjoyed reading. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rick Gomez as Patrick Kennedy, a maintenance worker and former smuggler of "relics", objects from the world before the Silo.Avi Nash as Lukas Kyle, a systems analyst in the IT Department who is curious about the world outside the Silo.Harriet Walter as Martha Walker, an electrical engineer who runs a workshop in the lower levels of the Silo and acts as a parental figure to Juliette.Tim Robbins as Bernard Holland, the strict head of the IT Department in the Silo.Common as Robert Sims, the head of security for the Silo.David Oyelowo as Holston Becker, the devoted husband of Allison and the sheriff of the Silo.During her attempts to conceive a child, she becomes suspicious of the Silo's true history and how it is governed.

Mage is the 8-5 favorite in the latest 2023 Preakness Stakes odds, but even in the narrower 2023 Preakness Stakes field, there are other horses that could rise to the occasion.

The book's four-piece namesake takes the form of interview transcripts, in which the conniving horror that is the male gender is revealed in all of its licentious glory. ![]() The intellectual gymnastics and ceaseless rumination endure (if you don't have a tolerance for that kind of thing, your nose doesn't belong in this book), but they are for the most part couched in simpler, less frenzied narratives. Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, Wallace's latest collection, is at least in part a response to the distress signal put out by the many readers who want to ride along with him, if he'd only slow down for a second. On occasion the reader is left in the dust wondering where the story went, as the author, literary turbochargers on full-blast, suddenly accelerates into the wild-blue-footnoted yonder in pursuit of some obscure metafictional fancy. Amid the screams of adulation for bandanna-clad wunderkind David Foster Wallace, you might hear a small peep. ![]() ![]() ![]() Constantine’s novels (and, thus, the world of the RPG) is a post-apocalyptic Earth where humanity has been replaced as the world’s dominant apex predator by a newly evolved race of sexually androgynous beings - the titular Wraeththu. It speaks more to the design team’s love of the source material than the actual source material itself. The subtitle of the game “From Enchantment to Fulfilment” probably should have served as a giant red flag. Something appears to have gone horribly awry between the initial spark of inspiration and the finished product. I found the game itself to be conceptually intriguing, though its execution leaves much to be desired. That said, after reviewing the RPG, I’m tempted to look into it. Constantine’s fiction has been exactly none. ![]() I should note that, prior to reviewing the product in question, my exposure to Ms. The official Wraeththu (pronounced RAY-THOO) roleplaying game is based on a body of fiction by Storm Constantine. ![]() |
