The New Death and others, A Review

Hello again, everyone! Now that you have read my ridiculous writing you can read something more interesting. In this review I will do my best to get you to read something further! I assume that in your very title as "readers," you enjoy reading. That aside, this electronic book should not be a tough sell. The title you should look for is The New Death and others by James Hutchings. You can find it in a variety of electronic formats at Smashwords, for a very affordable price. I suggest you snap up this work while it is still a bargain! If someone discovers James Hutchings's talent we may soon by paying outrageous prices to get his works in hardcover. I'm sure he would be most delighted if his work took off like that, as any writer might be! Best of luck, James. I can see you going big if you keep on writing.

Unfortunately the annoying links appearing on the body of this journal entry will likely detract from my pitch. I believe they are a hint that I should go Pro with my account. Let me say before we start that the only link that is legitimate is the one I will include at the very bottom of this entry, taking you to The New Death on Smashwords. Unless you are more interested in shopping than book reviews and good writing that will be the only link you need click on.

The New Death and others is a collection of poems and short fiction of a similar theme. The theme is one of death, and life, woven within a sort of dark commentary on our world. It is the perfect fusion of old and new practices in literature from its very virtual form, to each and every savory word. The world Hutchings creates in The New Death is quite different from our own, filled with strange mythologies and characters. Upon further reading, one becomes aware that the world Hutchings paints is maybe not as different from our own as we had first thought. Everything James Hutchings writes is both humorous and entertaining. It also has a great philosophical depth, and dark humor, which may remind the reader of Douglas Adams's The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul. Certainly, if Hutchings continues writing he may soon find his name beside that of Adams or perhaps Tolkien, revered among Science Fiction and Fantasy fans alike. This work will appeal to more than just Sci-Fi and Fantasy lovers, but to anyone who enjoys quality fiction, and engaging their minds in deep thought.

Get lost in the world of The New Death, the insistent imagery will softly lull you until you are enchanted into continuing to read. You will find everyday objects and creatures personified, the Moon, cats, and a great many others. Mythical beasts live among everyday man, if any of Hutchings's characters could truly be considered "everyday." There is very little of the ordinary, and much of the extraordinary. Meet gargoyles, demons, and even Death. Discover ancient gods and goddesses, given new life here, and perhaps some new ones you have not heard of outside of these electronic pages. See the characters and stories of Judeo-Christian mythology take on a startling, new form. History meets mythology, and mythology exposes reality in The New Death. The fierce imagery and provoking ideas will inhabit your mind, bringing about hours of philosophical musing. Your quest for excellent, modern literature ends here, but the journey is yet to begin. Dive into the pages, but first make sure you have lots of time. Once you read the first sentence you won't want to stop!
