It's been a little while
Hi everybody!
It's been more than a month since my last blog update. I've been busy working on a couple of projects, working my 9-5 and conducting family affairs. The FCAT just passed and we were in full swing for that. My 10 year old daughter is a little smarty and we're sure she aced it. She did so well last year, she won a limousine ride with a couple of her other intellectual friends. Very proud dad, here. Anyway, I am almost finished with the first draft of my newest story titled "Hoarding House," and hope to complete it by the end of the month. I will need to wheedle it down and have it edited after a few drafts, naturally. Right now, I have over 80 pages completed. My longest piece ever!
With all that said, I will leave you with a review of a simply killer book I recently enjoyed as a "buddy read," the first one of those I have participated in; I would like to say that was a lot of fun. The book is called "Seed."
Here you go.
A solid 5 star read.
I love cerebral horror stories. Seed definitely falls into this category.
It is the story of Jack Winter, husband, father and rocker. The Winter's are hanging on by a slender thread financially, their immediate goal is a modest one: buy a new car before their old Saturn gives up the ghost and leaves them stranded.
Shortly into the story, things go from bad to worse when a freakish car accident sends the car to an early grave and the cause of the accident forces Jack to face a past he had all but forgotten.
As it goes on, Ahlborn deftly weaves both stories together, pulling the reader at break-neck speed to an inevitable conclusion.
There are some seriously dark and disturbing themes explored here, certainly not for the weak stomachs among us. I had a lot of fun reading this, and Ahlborn's novel The Neighbors just got bumped up on my TBR list.
Strongly recommended!
