This cipher was discovered and elaborated on by a series of Crowley's magical students. However in this case secret names can be used to conceal references to phrases and words with an equal value in 'The Book of the Law' and other key texts by Crowley. This seems similar to experiments in Gematria and numerology that will be familiar to most students of the occult. However the book describes a cipher discovered in Aleister Crowley's 'Book of the Law', this being in the form of letters in the English alphabet each having a distinct numerical value, with words and phrases being assigned a numeric total. When I obtained this book I wasn't aware that there was a more recent edition, which the author recommends instead of this version, so I'm not sure what I may have missed out on by getting this older 'IllumiNet Press' 1994 edition. Swimming means more to Samantha than just a sports activity. The primary narrative begins as summer is ending: Samantha is a swimmer, and she's in the pool during one of the final swimming sessions of the summer. She obsesses over the idea that she will take the scissors and cut Olivia’s hair off in one fell swoop. While Samantha is cutting roses, a dark thought begins to consume her. The Crazy Eights, the nickname for Samantha’s friend group, are the popular girls at school-they are admired, hated, and feared by the general student body. It's Valentine’s Day and Samantha’s group of friends are on a school spirit committee responsible for preparing roses that will be distributed at their high school. The scene shows the extent of Samantha’s mental illness, and how profoundly it affects her life. The novel opens with a brief vignette, set six months before the bulk of the narrative.

It’s because of this admiration for Newman’s work that I have an insatiable appetite for any stories even remotely like it. It’s because of him that I even know what “crossover fiction” or “character mash-ups” are. It’s not Kim Newman or Neil Gaiman.but it is undeniably fun.Īnyone who’s ever read my reviews in the past knows that when it comes to crossover fiction I think Kim Newman is the gold standard. The narrator isn't that good either, hit and miss when it comes to capturing the characters mood and personality. The story is rushed, Sherlock and Watson have just met yet they act like they are old friends, this storty would have benefited from not twisting the original stories and throwing them aside, instead a independent story should have been written, taking place in the gaps of the original stories, perhaps related to the happenings in them or after, playing of small details of the otiginal stories - perhaps there was a real demon hound in the baskerville case? perhaps it wans't the KKK but instead the Cthulhu cult? As it stands I think better things could come from a Sherlock/Lovecraft mix. The auothor of this tries to write in Doyls style but fails. Watson is made to look like a dimwitted brute in this and Sherlock is significantly dumber and slower than in the original stories. This is nothing but a bad attemt at imitatating the style of the original Sherlock Holmes storys, and mixing them badly with Lovecraftian lore. This is brutal story featuring bullets, explosions and flipping cars, and it’s all masterfully brought to life by artist Juan Ferreyra, whose pencils, inks and colors give the story a realistic, almost painted feeling, somewhat reminiscent of artist Mike Mayhew’s comics work. The second half of this trade paperback is a complete 180 in tone, as we go from jungle action to a grounded, action-packed revenge story centered around Bullseye’s murderous acts. It’s always fun to see Marvel characters trying to stay alive in the Savage Land’s prehistoric jungle, and you can tell Manna’s having a blast illustrating it all, including dinosaurs and, of course, Ka-Zar and Zabu. I especially enjoyed the dynamic between the arrogant and delusional Kraven and Logan, who has zero patience for the hunter’s whole schtick. While I’m a bit tired of Kraven hunting heroes who aren’t Spidey (wasn’t he just hunting Captain America in writer Mark Waid’s most recent run?), Brisson and artist Francesco Manna manage to deliver a fun two-issue arc in the Savage Land. This isn’t a Spider-Man or Daredevil book, so what are these guys doing here? It doesn’t really matter, because throwing them into Old Man Logan’s world just makes for fresh stories. But one day an old friend shows up to ask a favor of him. I mean, just look at this collection’s two main adversaries–Kraven the Hunter and Bullseye.

She will miss no opportunity to leverage their combined might and infamy to survive attempt after attempt on her life, until she can figure out exactly why the pilot system works in its misogynist way-and stop more girls from being sacrificed. But now that Zetian has had a taste of power, she will not cower so easily. To tame her unnerving yet invaluable mental strength, she is paired up with Li Shimin, the strongest and most controversial male pilot in Huaxia. She is labeled an Iron Widow, a much-feared and much-silenced kind of female pilot who can sacrifice boys to power up Chrysalises instead.

And to do that, Cassie has to find faith that she’s stronger than she thinks, she’s still a crack shot and true love never dies. Survival’s great and all, especially when you have leather armor, good friends and home-brewed beer, but there’s something Cassie must do besides survive: tell Adrian she still loves him. This, coupled with Adrian’s distant voice on Safe Zone Radio and, of course, the living dead, threaten to put Cassie right back into the funk she just dragged herself out of. And it’s a lot farther than she’d anticipated. When the two attract a threat as deadly as the undead to their safe haven, Cassie’s forced to see how far she’ll go to protect those she loves. This is difficult enough, but Cassie’s tag along ex-boyfriend and her friend’s bratty sister have a knack for making everything, even the apocalypse, more unpleasant.

After all, she’s been on a self-imposed losing streak since her survivalist parents died: she’s stopped painting, broken off her engagement to Adrian and dated a real jerk. Cassie Forrest isn't surprised to learn that the day she’s decided to get her life together is also the day the world ends. |
