Necropolis Tryst

by Kent Hill

Remember back to the days of the old school yard. How it was a perpetual microcosm of raw emotion, triumph and confusion. Kent Hill leaves in his wake the aliens, overlords, barbarians and dinosaur commandoes and takes us this time . . . to some place real. As pronounced by this work's editor, Garrett Cook, this is a magical, realist, coming-of-age tale. It's not a love story - more like one half of a love story. The story of a young man who, after years of being a social outcast, is welcomed into the world he knew only as a voyeur. Once enveloped, he falls in love - and his world begins changing. Filled with the strange, the dark, the humorous and the heartfelt, Necropolis Tryst, is somewhere we have all been at one time or another . . . in a good mood and in love.

[Tamara · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm definitely giving NECROPOLIS TRYST 5 stars. The book was recommended to me, and upon starting it I realized it was not my genre, but an amazing recommendation for a hella awesome story by a fantastic storyteller. Kent Hill proves his versatility in this one! Even if you think this read might not be for you, it's only because you haven't started it yet. Do so! Pick up a copy. You will not be disappointed, and I guarantee you'll smile.

( Format : Audiobook )
"For me to conceal and you to ponder."
Perhaps, not being a sex obsessed teenage misfit, I missed the point of this story. It starts crudely, then adds violence, with constant sexual nuances of lust, longing and screwing suggested throughout. It is well narrated by pleasant!y voiced Mike Carnes, just as it is well written, conjuring mind pictures, a con artist game perpetrated on the reader, littered with name dropping of popular songs, films and books woven into the sentences, like The King and I ("Shall we dance?), Ground Hog Day, Green Eggs and Ham, and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Clever, uncomfortable - and definitely not my thing.
