Hi all,
Here are a few of the in progress and just completed scans I'm working on
for the good of Bookshare:
1. The Kill Riff by David J. Schow
Present Status: scan complete, about to submit for validation
Synopsis: Lucas Ellington seeks to avenge his daughter's death at a rock
concert by destroying band members one by one. The last one left alive is
forced to live up to a macho image by stalking his stalker in return.
2. Triage by Richard Laymon, Edward Lee, and Jack Ketchum
Present Status: scan complete, about to submit for validation
Synopsis: A whacko walking into a workplace after first making a threatening
phone call ("I'm gonna get you") serves as the premise for each of the three
novellas
in this grisly anthology.
3. Deep Blue by David Niall Wilson
Current Status: out for validation
Synopsis: A burned-out musician, Brandt, is playing
in an obscure band when he hears a homeless black man, Wally, play the
purest blues on the harmonica he has ever heard, music that encapsulates all
the
pain of the world. Brandt begs Wally to teach him how to play the same way.
He disregards Wally's warning that he would have to take the pain into
himself,
and then play to purge it lest it consume him. Brandt's performance that
evening changes the lives of his fellow band members. Together they discover
that
they can play not to wake the dead but to settle restlessly roaming spirits.
4. Child of God by Cormac McCarthy
Current Status: out for validation
Synopsis: Lester Ballard--a violent, dispossessed man falsely accused of
rape--haunts the hill country of East Tennessee when he is released from
jail.
5. Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk
Current Status: scan is about one-third complete
Synopsis: Assigned to write a series of feature articles investigating SIDS,
troubled newspaper reporter Carl Streator begins to notice a pattern among
the cases he encounters: each child was read the same poem prior to his or
her death.
