![]() Apparently, writing was in his blood as his maternal grandfather, Richard Marsh, was a prolific Victorian novelist, who wrote The Beetle (1897), an occult novel that was almost as popular as Dracula in its time. However, his interests were more in the arts. His father also eventually left, living Aickman living at home alone.Īickman was originally schooled in architecture, which was his father’s profession. When Aickman was a teen-ager, his mother deserted the family. Aickman’s rancorous home life is mirrored in his stories “The Clock Watcher,” “Ringing the Changes,” “The Stains,” “The Fetch,” and others. This resulted in a family environment that was chaotic and emotionally empty, with the parents constantly bickering. ![]() His father, William, was “the oddest man I have ever known.” William had married at age 53 to a woman 30 years his junior and, being deeply set in his bachelor ways and accustomed to living alone, could not adapt to married life. ![]() Robert Fordyce Aickman was born in London on June 27, 1914. He also wrote longer fiction as well as non-fiction and was an editor and conservationist. Robert Aickman was an English writer best known for his “strange stories,” as he termed them, which were subtle and poetic and concentrated more on the emotions of horror rather than material terror. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Madcap but sincere, pulsating with strong social and philosophical undercurrents, his irreverent classics have introduced countless readers to hitchhiking cowgirls, born-again monkeys, a philosophizing can of beans, exiled royalty, and problematic redheads.In Tibetan Peach Pie, Robbins turns that unparalleled literary sensibility inward, weaving together stories of his unconventional life–from his Appalachian childhood to his globe-trotting adventures–told in his unique voice, which combines the sweet and sly, the spiritual and earthy. Internationally bestselling novelist and American icon Tom Robbins's long-awaited tale of his wild life and times, both at home and around the globeTom Robbins's warm, wise, and wonderfully weird novels–including Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Another Roadside Attraction, and Jitterbug Perfume–provide an entryway into the frontier of his singular imagination. ![]() ![]() ![]() They ask Daring to find their missing colleague Gallant True-Daring's uncle, who she knows as her uncle Adventure ("Uncle Ad" for short).

The novel follows the vampire Geneviève Dieudonné and human Charles Beauregard of the Diogenes Club as they attempt to solve the horrific Whitechapel murders and the notorious, unidentified serial killer known as Jack the Ripper. Following this marriage, vampirism becomes common throughout the country and these "cold" creatures of the dark exist alongside the "warm" human population. ![]() ![]() The book is set in 1888 and some years after the death of Prince Albert Queen Victoria has remarried, her new husband the immortal Vlad Tepes, also known as Vlad the Impaler, Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia and most (in)famously as Count Dracula. The imminent re-release of the sequel "The Bloody Red Baron" has prompted me to pick up the novel and see how it compares to that short story published many moons ago. This short story formed the basis for the novel and it's been on my list of books to read for some time. ![]() I remember reading the short story "Red Reign" about 20 years ago, written by Newman and published in the Mammoth Book of Vampires. ![]() ![]() ![]() I've been writing poetry since I was a little girl. "If you can bear up underneath the weight, it makes you stronger." Though this surprised her at first, Anderson says she does not feel weighed down by their accounts. When Anderson speaks to student groups about sexual assault and consent, she finds young survivors will often open up to her about their own experiences. ![]() The book begins: "This is the story of a girl who lost her voice and wrote herself a new one." In her new memoir, Shout, Anderson reveals that she was raped when she was 13, and it took more than two decades before she could find the words to talk or write about it. It's been 20 years since Anderson's groundbreaking novel Speak was published - it tells the story of Melinda, a freshman in high school who stops speaking after a sexual assault. "If there was a way for every victim of sexual violence to come forward on one day, I think the world would stop spinning for a day," she says. "I translate imagination onto the page," she says.įor every sexual assault survivor who speaks out, Laurie Halse Anderson knows there many others remaining silent. In college, Laurie Halse Anderson thought she might become a translator - and in a way, she did. ![]() ![]() And the old myths did what most treasured stories do and cared for me in a way nobody could. That was a difficult period in my life, where I was coming to terms with being alone. I became obsessed with Hades and Persephone in middle school. So, to some degree, most people will have a personal history with Greek mythology, whether they know it or not. SMYTHE: I feel like Greek mythology is the backbone of most modern stories we participate in today. KAPLAN: Can you tell us about your personal history with Classical mythology? ![]() I’d rather struggle and fail in the most fantastic way than try to repeat that same thing again and be thought of as dull. It’s important to try new things – for better or for worse. I am always trying to push myself forward as time passes. ![]() RACHEL SMYTHE: Due to the weekly publication schedule and the sheer length of the series, I’m always looking for ways to update my approach in an effort to keep things interesting for myself and stave off burnout. ![]() ![]() So far we have heard Maia’s story, Ally’s, Star’s and CeCe’s now, in The Moon Sister, it’s the turn of Tiggy. This is one of many mysteries running throughout the series.Īt the beginning of the first novel, The Seven Sisters, Pa Salt died, leaving each sister some clues to help them trace their biological parents. You may have noticed that there are only six sisters for some reason, which we don’t yet know, a seventh was never adopted. ![]() They are each named after one of the stars in the cluster – Maia, Alycone (Ally), Asterope (Star), Celaeno (CeCe), Taygete (Tiggy) and Electra D’Aplièse. The girls come from different cultures and backgrounds, but all grew up together on Pa Salt’s estate in Switzerland. Each novel tells the story of one of the adopted daughters of a mysterious millionaire known as Pa Salt. This is the fifth book in Lucinda Riley’s Seven Sisters series based loosely on the mythology of the star cluster known as Pleiades or ‘the seven sisters’. ![]() |
