Representaion Supposing Books One Bloody Thing After Another

Jackie has a map of the city on the wall of her bedroom, with a green pin for each of her trees. She has a first-kiss tree and a broken-arm tree. She has a car-accident tree. There is a tree at the hospital where Jackie’s mother passed away into the long good night. When one of them gets cut down, Jackie doesn’t know what to do but she doesn’t let that stop her. She picks up the biggest rock she can carry and puts it through the window of a car. Smash. She intends to leave before the police arrive, but they’re early. Ann is Jackie’s best friend, but she’s got problems of her own. Her mother is chained up in the basement. How do you bring that up in casual conversation? “Oh, sorry I’ve been so distant, Jackie. My mother has more teeth than she’s supposed to, and she won’t eat anything that’s already dead.” Ann and her sister Margaret don’t have much of a choice here. Their mother needs to be fed. It isn’t easy but this is family. It’s not supposed to be easy. It’ll be okay as long as Margaret and Ann still have each other. Add in a cantankerous old man, his powerfully stupid dog, a headless ghost, a lesbian crush and a few unsettling visits from Jackie’s own dead mother, and you’ll find that One Bloody Thing After Another is a different sort of horror novel from the ones you’re used to. It’s as sad and funny as it is frightening, and it is as much about the way families rely on each other as it is about blood being drooled on the carpet. Though, to be honest, there is a lot of blood being drooled on the carpet.

Discuss Epithetical Books One Bloody Thing After Another

Yes, ag, it is so good, and like Courtney, once I finished I just wanted to read it again. (And if I didn't have such a giant pile of books to read I would right now.) I think my favorite thing was the humor which was laced through everything, even the most horrifying of moments. Also: basically everything about Jackie.(read: 68)

I usually judge how much I enjoy a book by how hard it is to put down. Do I stay up far later than I should, until my eyes are burning with the need for sleep, or do I roll over and call it quits for the night? Do I forgo stopping for coffee in the morning in order to get ten more minutes of reading in before I have to leave for work? If I answer yes to these questions (particularly the later), then I know that Im in possession of a great book.This is where I found myself with Joey Comeaus One

One Bloody Thing After Another is not what it seems, Joey Comeau surprise us with a fictional tale filled with gore and death. Never has a book affected me so deeply. Joey Comeau enters in the person's soul and unveils their true nature. A true master of horror that leaves you hanging with every word.

Note: Those of you who follow my reviews know that I try very hard to always be nice when reviewing. Even when I dont like the book, I try to offer constructive criticism and give out some words of praise. There will be none of that here. What follows is less a review and more of a rage-induced tirade that was written while in a hazy trance brought about by sheer fury. It will be sarcastic, bitter and with more than a slight hint of a parent pointing at a child saying, Im not mad, just

A book that actually made me "tee hee." An absurd literary equivalent of a B-horror movie and it is amazing. Recommended for all horror fans with a sense of humor about the genre!

Really expertly structured for maximum emotional impact, and somehow oddly subtle even when dealing with page upon page of teen angst and gore. Comeau has a real knack for finding simple, creative ways to render, in literary form, human emotions and relationships, with all their peculiarities. Surely commendable is his ability to diagnose the troubling gap between caring about and/or loving someone being universal (excepting psychopaths) human experiences, and these experiences also being so

Accurate title.
