t. m. wright — blue canoe — PS Publishing Ltd. ( 2009)

Description: t. m. wrightblue canoePS Publishing Ltd, 2009Signed by author CONDITION: VERY GOOD or better, with a little shelfwear, no markings, a few tiny scratches on the jacket. {NOTE: This was supposed to be published in 500 unsigned unjacketed hardcovers and 100 numbered, signed, jacketed hardcovers. The copy here is neither: it is signed and jacketed, but there is no number. (See photo #2.)Concerning the photos: both the jacket and hardcover are very shiny, so the photos show some reflections that aren’t really there (I’m not the world’s best photographer). Photo #1 shows the book with the jacket, and #4 shows the book without the jacket(!)} In time, the blue canoe will repair itself. I know this as well as I know my excesses, which have been legion. The blue canoe is a living thing. In its way, it breathes, ages, knows much. It knows about trees and grasses. It knows about the atmosphere, rain and wind, thunder and sleet and fog. And it knows about the constellations that parade across the sky, night and day - Cassiopeia, Andromeda, the Big Dipper. About the author:Terrance Michael Wright (AKA T. M. Wright) is best known as a writer of horror fiction, speculative fiction, and poetry. He has written over 25 novels, novellas, and short stories over the last 40 years. His first novel, 1978's Strange Seed, was nominated for a World Fantasy Award, and his 2003 novel Cold House was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award. His novels have been translated into many different languages around the world. His works have been reviewed by Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Booklist, and many genre magazines. Commentaries on line: If you've read any of my other reviews of T. M. Wright's work, you'd know I'm just three consecutive cups of coffee away from being a fan-boy. This latest novel simply reminds me why. Wright's narrative is engaging, simple yet enigmatic, efficient but powerful. He can provoke more thought from me in two hundred pages than most writers can do in two thousand. This was a very interesting read. Quite unique. I haven't read anything like this before, and it's hard to describe. The story follows Happy Farmer as he recollects ( maybe not correctly? ) his past. He does this from jail? From a nursing home? a mental hospital? beyond the grave? I recommend this book mostly because of how unique it is, and recommend giving it a shot. I read T.M. Wright's "Blue Canoe" in .pdf form… and was, by turns, charmed, frightened, amused and delighted by this whimsical fantasy of "the newly non-corporeal" (to borrow from the subtitle). Not only does T.M. Wright know how to write, he knows how to weave a whimsy as well as anyone, and "Blue Canoe," though it may baffle some readers, at first, was a real treat from the first page to the last. Don't expect a dyed-in-the-wool horror story, folks. "Blue Canoe" is something different, altogether. It's a story, almost literally, for the ages. ______________________ {I'll always combine shipping costs and refund any excess shipping charges for multiple-copy book orders.}For all "buy it now" items, please use ADD TO CART if you plan to order more than one item at the same time.______________ WOW!
