It was a rollercoaster and a half, and I loved absolutely every second of the ride. I genuinely do not think words can do justice to everything this book put me through. The UK release happened whilst I was away, and I was so gutted that I couldn’t get my hands on it and devour it straight away – and I was going to miss out on the special edition, too! Luckily enough, I managed to order myself a copy of the exclusive Waterstones edition, changing the delivery until I got back, and I whizzed through it in under a day – all 550 pages of it! When I tell you I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book, I am seriously not kidding. Will she be able to save herself, or will it be too late?

Whilst the plot threads eventually reconcile, I'm not convinced the direction was the right one.

AWAKE IN THE NIGHT LAND marks the first time all four novellas have been gathered into a single volume. Widely considered to be the finest tribute to Hodgson ever written, the first novella, "Awake in the Night", was previously published in 2004 in The Year's Best Science Fiction: Twenty-First Annual Collection. Part novel, part anthology, the book consists of four related novellas, "Awake in the Night", "The Cry of the Night-Hound", "Silence of the Night", and "The Last of All Suns", which collectively tell the haunting tale of the Last Redoubt of Man and the end of the human race.

Another common misconception about the novel is that the 20,000 leagues were a measure of how deep the characters went, but, in actual fact, it was a measure of the distance travelled across the globe. The original French title of Verne’s epic novel is Vingt mille lieues sous les mers, which when translated correctly into English is Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the SEAS, not Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea as it has been published in many English editions.

I've been deep in some threads here and I feel like the Kershaw book has been tossed around before. Some great works that probably are just too short to get the Folio treatment by themselves: Legion by William Peter Blatty (FS did The Exorcist, so why not? I know Suntup is doing Legion (which I'll have in my hands before too long) but I don't think that factors in for FS.) The Dead Zone, Salem's Lot, and The Dark Half might make for decent horror King choices this time around. (PS Publishing is about to publish an edition of DS, but it does not appear to be to my taste). I found FS' editions of Misery and The Shining hopelessly flat (I don't need blood squirting at me, but some atmosphere is necessary if I'm to spend more than $15 on a book) and Kinsella's flavorless treatments were a big part of that.Ī FS (Kinsella-less) Different Seasons could be great although, not being horror, that doesn't apply to this list. I wouldn't mind another from Stephen King (technically I'm a fan, although he has many things I wouldn't read again), but for me to buy, they must leave Kinsella behind. |
