I love the theme of friendship throughout the story. Friends can be found in the most unlikely of places, even if it's on another plane of existence.
Dead Scary is a well written book. It has a fast paced plot and it's young readers will never get bored. The characters are fun, vibrant and a little quirky. Yet, the the author still managed to make them real and believable. Overall, an exciting read for any young reader.

ReplyDeleteNot oddly, but naturally, this has appeal to me.. When I spoke about facets, the other day, in this case that would mean the facet of "Dead Scary" never being fused with the facet of a security council meeting, or a scientific conference, or a "Graham Norton show" or public platform..
By thinking this way, the reality of "Dead Scary", and the reality of its only ever being knowable because of sites like this becomes more endearing.
The Texas Frightmare Convention; Rules of becoming a Legend, by Timothy S Lane; Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Sabrina the Teenage Witch, etc.. They're all obscure realities. Or, at the very least, they're all realities which are heavily arranged!
But, it's in the recognition of these discriminating realities, that one can become the more endeared to them.. I'll never hear one time, Dead Scary referenced during a State of the Union address, or in the context of a BBC Question Time programme - but that's when Dead Scary becomes more powerful.
The reality of Dead Scary, and the reality of Sally Gould.. They have so much power!
(On a side note: the cover's house has a turret, just as the four's house does in The Representative)
I like how you see it from that perspective. Power is definitely relative.

DeleteExactly.. That's been the point with the "pairings project" (which is now complete by the way); if you say "Michael Myers, in the Myers house", and then I say "Military line-up, at one of Japan's military bases", or if I say "Spending Sunday, contemplating Monday", and then you say "Living in Los Angeles, in the early 90's", the mind becomes elevated.
Remember the mental health hospital, that I told you about Aimee? I don't know when my next appointment will be, but when it happens I'm going to bring a copy of my pairings project, as well as the additional sheets that I've created - facet spidergrams!
For Michelle de Rayter, for example (one of the people on the pairings list), two of her five facets is "Michael Jordan", and "Hitler's death, with Eva Braun in the bunker".. and for Paul Walker, the deceased actor, two facets are "Inspired to be nihilistic, because of Wikipedia", and "Financial debt".
I figure that this is how the world can be changed: "fusing".. If you fuse reality's facets together, you take away a facets power. I'll hand over my sheets, requesting them to be photocopied, and then talk about fusing becoming a public project - even hopefully a global project!
Thousands, and thousands of people contributing their own recorded fusion, to be made public.. If nothing else, this is the sort of tactic that would end the United States, and the global status quo.
Thanks for reading and reviewing my story, Aimee!
ReplyDeleteI love your post on "The Success Story of a Nobody Writer". It certainly resonates with me.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I'm learning that writing is about how you feel about your writing and not the masses. And yes, maintaining this philosophy is a daily challenge!
