"I give this book a slightly higher rating than the average based on the way the story gets told. Searcy is clearly not bending to the modern injunctions that writers should follow Hemingway in the trimming away of all unnecessary decoration in writin"

"LAST THINGS is set in a part of East Texas near the little town of Sulphur Springs, a part of the state I knew well when I was growing up. Call it the frayed end of the Bible Belt.
One day when I was around 10, my grandfather took us all for a ride in" Read more of this review » |

| The Wolf and the Wildcat is a compelling prequel to Barbara Lennox’s superb Trystan trilogy, her vivid retelling of the Trystan and Yseult myth set in fifth century Scotland. This novel turns its focus to Corwynal’s father, Rifallyn—a man who, in The ...more | |
“The thing was, she wasn't afraid of ghosts. The violence of humankind and nature, the ridiculous enormity of outer space, the fragile skin of existence, the unfathomable mystery of the origins of life and thought - all these things could petrify her, if she allowed them. But ghosts? No.”

“Nothing is more lethal to the effect that a ghost story should make than for the author to provide alternative materialist solution. This reduces a poem to a puzzle and confines the reader’s spirit instead of enlarging it.”

“I think reality is thin, you know, thin as lake ice after a thaw, and we fill our lives with noise and light and motion to hide that thinness from ourselves.”

“Whenever I've made a choice in my life, a real choice... I can always feel the change, after I choose. The better versions of myself, moving just out of reach.”

“That which is torn develops an increased capacity for insight and forbearance. A capacity to experience sensations that escape the notice of others.”

“Blake would say that there are some places in the Universe where the Fall has not occurred, the world has not turned upside down and Eden still exists. Here Mankind is not governed by the rules of reason, stupid and strict, but by the heart and intuition. The people do not indulge in idle chatter, parading what they know, but create remarkable things by applying their imagination. The state ceases to impose the shackles of daily oppression, but helps people to realize their hopes and dreams. And Man is not just a cog in the system, not just playing a role, but a free Creature.”
