DISCLAIMER: this is technically a straight love story, but it’s the queerest one you’ll ever read, and very explicitly queer-affirming. Body feelings, disability, art, friendship, liberation, consent. Powerful themes in a riveting and often hilarious narrative voice. ❤️ #kendrafortmeyer #holeinthemiddle #yabooks #yalit #disabilitylit #yaromance #bookstagram #bodypositive #teenlit #fatpositive #yaliterature #teenliterature #lovestories #medicalethics #madeforeachother #mfeo #literallymadeforeachother #consent #unwantedfame https://www.instagram.com/p/BsKD5ZslNDQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14wakgiqc5lh5

Wytches, Volume 1  by Scott Snyder (story), Jock (art), Matt Hollingsworth (colors), Clem Robins (letters), and David Brothers (editor)

Snyder, S., Jock, Hollingsworth, M., & Robins, C. (2015). Wytches (Vol. 1) (D. Brothers, Ed.). Berkeley, CA: Image Comics. ISBN-13: 978-1632153807; paperback; $9.13

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

“Pledged is pledged.” (Snyder, 2015)

Sailor “Sail” Rooks is an anxious thirteen-year-old who has just moved to Litchfield, New Hampshire with her mother, Lucy, who is confined to a wheelchair after a terrible accident, and her father, Charlie, who is a comic book writer with an alcoholic past. Since this is a graphic novel, the story is told through colorful illustrated panels [watch video to view examples]. Some backstory: The Rooks family decided to move to Litchfield after Sail’s malicious school bully named Annie went missing after the two had a confrontation in the woods, and only Sail knows what really happened the day. Moreover, the Rooks family is unaware that their new hometown also has a secret: Wytches, described by local Clara Poirot as “evolution gone wrong. Mutations from thousands of years ago. Maybe formed apart from us, in the ground.” So, when Sail is awoken one night by one of these strange beings the real story behind the Wytches and the meaning of “pledged is pledged” is revealed, and Sail finds herself fighting the ultimate battle…for her life.  

Wytches, Volume 1, written by Scott Snyder and illustrated by Jock, is a spectacular and horrifying work of art and literature. Not only is it a horror comic about witches (I mean wytches) that is terrifying (the illustrations will give you chills), but it is also a comic about how crappy parents and the family home can be, along with the added fears of being a teenager (with an underlying message that parenting can be equally as frightening). Sail is nervous, anxious, and bullied at school, her dad was a neglectful alcoholic consumed with his work, while her mom, well, she suffered a terrible accident and can no longer walk. The fears of the characters are genuine and relatable, even when they are dealing with supernatural creatures (or are they?). Also, one of the coolest elements of this novel is the back matter: Snyder provides commentary on what inspired him to write this story and the colorists process is outlined in case you happen to be interested in the field. I can’t wait to read the rest of this limited series (there are FIVE more!) and I give this graphic novel a LIT-rating of five out five. Recommended for ages 15+. Rated M/Mature. (144 pages)

Awards and accolades: 2016 Bram Stoker nomination

Wytches Vol. 1 Review

ComicsGuide101 recommends this graphic novel as a “borrow” due to Hollingsworth choice of coloring over Jock’s incredible art. Lucky for you, I’m sure your local library has this horror comic available for borrow now!

Second important note for denizens of a Savannah Georgia: E Shaver Booksellers, Foxy Loxy Cafe, and myself are scheduling the COVEN event for October, in order to coordinate with Halloween festivities and all things witchy. It is very important that we get those RSVP’s so we know how many to expect for the venue. It will be great spooky fun! More details to come…

#authorlifemonth Day 20: A Dream Achieved. I attended the Young Adult Library Association weekend in Austin, TX in 2014 and had the opportunity to sit in a room filled with big-name authors like Matt de la Pena (who I chatted with) and sign my newly-completed Children of the Knight series that celebrates the power of youth to effect real change in the world. That event was my first and only book signing and I really enjoyed myself. Despite the series not finding a readership, completing those five books was a major dream of mine, and I think in our current political climate, my series about social justice is more relevant now than when I wrote it. I also had the pleasure of meeting author Mia Kerick in person at this event (we knew each other from FB) and have her to thank for my amazing banner. And I met some great youth librarians from all over the country. Fun weekend.

The Dead Zone 

by Stephen King

King, S. (1980). The Dead Zone. SIGNET. (Originally published in 1979). ISBN-13: 978-0451155757; paperback; $1.45

🔥🔥🔥🔥

“It was as if he had entered limbo, a weird conduit between the land of the living and that of the dead. But toward which end was he moving?” (King, 1980, p. 94)

Johnny Smith is a young high school teacher in Cleaves Mill, Maine. He is tall (the students call him Frankenstein), fun and easy going—that’s what fellow young teacher Sarah Bracknell had initially found so charming about him. However, there is much more to Johnny than just his height and charm; he has a secret—a secret that had been revealed to him at the age of six but has been forgotten over the years. Sarah and Johnny start dating and are in the throes of young love. One Halloween night, while attending the local carnival something strange happens to Johnny while playing Wheel of Fortune that scares Sarah—“…his eyes were almost black. Jekyll and Hyde, she thought, and was suddenly, senselessly, afraid of him” (38). Afterwards, Johnny takes a cab home which gets into a terrible accident leaving him in a coma for five years. When he finally wakes, the life Johnny once knew is gone: Sarah is married with a child and his mother has turned into a cult-following religious fanatic. The most shocking realization (other than finding out that he had been in a coma for five years) is that Johnny is clairvoyant; when he touches another human being he can see into their pasts and futures, except for certain areas that he calls the “dead zone.” As Johnny struggles to recover physically and mentally, the news of his gift spreads across the country and he finds himself in many strange encounters such as reuniting his doctor with a long-lost relative and helping to solve a series of gruesome murders. Desperate for a normal life, Johnny comes into contact with the devil incarnate after shaking hands with Mayor Greg Stillson, an ambitious and malevolent politician, and he experiences his most disturbing vision yet. Can Johnny save the world from devastation? Is he strong enough to survive such an endeavor?

The Dead Zone by Stephen King is a supernatural/horror novel that is different from much of his other work, especially the ones reviewed in this blog. First, it is less character-based and more plot-driven, incorporating political-suspense (that is surprisingly relevant in today’s political climate). Second, Johnny is no Stu Redman (The Stand), and is unsympathetic and, without ruining the ending, is not as redeeming as you may expect. Ultimately, the best way to describe this novel is that it is a slow-burn and requires patience at times. However, it is complex, and King still delivers in terms of intensity, suspense, fantasy, and of course, horror. I give this novel a LIT-rating of four out five and recommend it for ages 15+. (402 pages)

Awards and accolades: 1980 Locus Award Winner; 1980 Balrog Award nominee; 1983 film adaptation and 2002 television series

#authorlifemonth Day 14: Your To-Write List. At this point, I don't have plans to write more books, so I'm sharing my To-Get-Published List. I've completed four books over the past 14 months that are polished and edited and seeking a home. No point in writing more when these stories still hope to be adopted by someone and released to the world. I will continue querying agents and prospective publishers and hope something positive develops. Happy writing to those of you working on new projects. 😀💻📚
