King Henry Price has just endured a horrible loss in his life. He returns to the Asylum adrift, unsure how to process the situation. But one thing is a constant: he's the Foul Mouth, he won't be grieving, he'll be GRIEFING, and it will be up to Ultra Class '09 to bear the brunt of the onslaught.
Richard Raley was born and raised in Fresno, California and even still lives there on account of the city being an evil vortex you can't escape. He grew up on Star Wars, Transformers, Legos, and Everquest--he never escaped them either. His rise to fame/infamy began with "The Foul Mouth and the Fanged Lady", the first book of THE KING HENRY TAPES, an Urban Fantasy Series that has been described as "Harry Potter meets Pulp Fiction".
Damn, this was so good I have to reread the entire series again... This short deals with King Henry grieving for his mother. KHP deals with grief the way he deals with everything - with anger and violence. But it's nice to see the vulnerable side that so well hidden. I lived the depth this gave the character.
Not where I expected this short to be at in the timeline. Need info from after the third main book badly! :)
That said, I enjoyed this intensely. It covers a very important time in King Henry's life and I was not disappointed! The relationships and which people has his back is so cool to see.
my favorite of the king henry shorts...a look at how king henry deals with the loss of his mother...and how he drags his entire class into the healing process...funny and touching at the same time...
