I believe Nocturnal is your Best Book yet

Posted: Feb 04, 2008 @ 5:25PM 16 replies

I’ve either read or listened to your other books and I enjoyed them all but I truly believe this is your best work so far. This story seems fuller and more complex then you’re other stories. And I also feel you character development is going a lot further then you have in most of your other books, so I hope to see that continue while you maim and slaughter more poor souls. (Keep in mind that any of your stories are still miles above a vast majority of other writers out there.) I also would like to say that I listened to the podcast of Infection and found that rather rough but upon hearing about all the rewriting you've put into it I plan to buy the book, yes pre-ordering as you requested.)

It is a great mesh of police procedurals and eldritch horror. I continue to be impressed. Long live roctopi!

I'm impressed as well. Every character you've introduced has been placed, either by situation or descriptively into a context that has made them easy either understand or relate to. You're use of humor has been spot on and elicits just the right amount of levity to counterbalance the gravity you employ. The startling dichotomy and your metaphorical usage between Maries Children and the Saviors and their intransigence to the extant established normatives of western society creates a very nice anachronistic feel as you blend the different temporal aspects of the story together. Or... This story rocks! Or... You're shit doesn't stink. Thanks again for providing this story for us to enjoy. May there be many more.

I still feel Ancestor to be top of the heap, but I am really enjoying Nocturnal. I am curious to see how it winds up playing out.

Infection is, because of all the promo stuff I can do. (see how you spread the Stank thread, I'm planning on doing the same thing for the book release, but with guess the number of triangles.) *~* My thoughts this week: Waiting is an essential part of junkie life. John Barrowman has amazing teeth and he hugs well good. I love him so much. What a waste.

The pacing on this one keeps making me feel like I'm listening to a TV mini series or move. (Made for TV or otherwise.)
