Smakebit på Søndag; Terovolas av Edward M. Erdelac

Ny søndag og ny smakebit. Som jeg har nevnt tidligere, er dette fast tema hos Flukten fra Virkeligheten.

Denne gangen skal jeg gi en smakebit fra Terovolas av Edward M. Erdelac. Jeg fikk en forhåndskopi via Early Rewievers på Library Thing. Boka kommer for salg 16. november.

Handlingen foregår i Texas, etter seieren over Dracula. Van Helsing sliter med mareritt etter episoden og sjekker inn på Jack Seward's Purfleet Asylum. Når han er utskrevet og skal levere asken og de personlige eiendelene av Quincey P. Morris fra seg til broren, Cole Morris, blir han dratt inn i en feide om land.

"I would find myself passing cemeteries, which were not on my usual route. A ghoulish compulsion began to grow within me, that I should enter the graves within and subject the innocent corpses to the same maschalimos treatments I had prescribed for the vampires. I took to carrying my implements with me: my mallet and stakes, vials of blessed water, and garlic cloves."

    En fin smakebit! Jeg syntes setningen "Van Helsing sliter med mareritt" var fantastisk :-)

    Van Helsing er jo en kul kar. Så filmen om han, i tilegg til filemr og bøker om Dracula.

    Dette hørtes riktig så spennende ut! En historie som jeg er svak for :) Jeg legger den til på ønskelisten min hos Goodreads.

    Hva syntes du om historien? Er den verdt å bruke noen kroner på når den utgis?

    Mari; Sålangt har jeg litt blandede følelser. Jeg er en "sucker" (no pun intended) for alt som har med Dracula å gjøre, men spin-off på en historie som er bra til å begynne med? Jeg skal skrive mer når jeg er ferdig med å lese den.

    Og til alle andre; takk for kommentarer. :-)

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
