Finbar's verhaal: Steve Vernon's Sea Tales boek 4
by Steve VernonWater is een leugenaar. Als je een verhaal met water vertelt, kan het niet vertrouwd worden en het zal wegspoelen in de eerste harde regen of in de tranen van een lange goede kreet. En verhalen die in bloed en steen worden verteld, blijven verreweg langer hangen. Finbar Tanner vertelt zijn zoon, Isaac, een verhaal. Het is een verhaal over liefde, verlangen en opoffering. Het is een verhaal over bloed en water en stenen. Het is een verhaal van de diepere stromingen die in het hart van een man stromen. Het is een verhaal over de zee. WAT MENSEN ZEGGEN OVER STEVE VERNON "Het genre heeft nieuw bloed nodig en Steve Vernon is nogal een transfusie." -Edward Lee, auteur van FLESH GOTHIC en CITY INFERNAL "Als Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson en Robert Bloch een drievoudige sex-ravotten hadden in een bubbelbad, en een team van wetenschappers binnenkwam en het water eruit filterde en het overgebleven DNA in een reageerbuis deed, zou het resulterende genetische experiment hoogstwaarschijnlijk opgroeien tot Steve Vernon. " - Bookgasm "Steve Vernon is iets van een anomalie in de wereld van horrorfilms, hij is een van de meest frisse nieuwe stemmen in het genre, hoewel zijn carrière twintig jaar heeft geduurd." Schrijvend met een zeldzame branie en vertrouwen, Steve Vernon kan zijn lezers door een heel scala aan emoties van regelrechte angst en afstoting tot medelijden en gelach. " - Begraafplaatsdans "Gewapend met een bizar gevoel voor humor, een enorme hoeveelheid originaliteit, een flair voor het nemen van risico's en een sterk begrip van karakterisering - Steve heeft de karbonades zeker." - Dark Discoveries "Steve Vernon is geboren om te schrijven, hij is de echte deal en we hebben geluk dat hij hem heeft." - Richard Chizmar Mijn moeder denkt dat ik ook best cool ben.
