Lastly, I have recognized that there is a large subgenre of the ACE Gothic novel that is considered either "mystery" or "suspense" - generally with a heavy gothic romance overtone. I have consolidated all of the mystery singles from the ACE POTPOURRI section (except for those I still am not certain about - for example, the E. Please snoop through your collections and send me what you find. This is an area that I have little coverage. In the reference Hardboiled America, The Lurid Years of Paperbacks by Geoffrey O'Brien there are a few examples of the ACE Mystery Singles. Many of these are reprints (or concurrent printings with the ACE Mystery Doubles) and often use the same cover art as the ACE Doubles.

That’s kind of heavy thing to lay on a twelve-year old, and Josh is understandably scared about what being the Messiah is going to mean for him. Biff was Jesus’ best friend from the age of six up until the resurrection, and as the Bible has famously omitted Jesus’ life between the ages of 12 and 30 or so, Biff decides that he is going to tell the story of what they were up to during those years, since he was there.īiff and Jesus (known by his friends as Josh) lead the lives of normal Jewish little boys, save for the fact that Josh can raise the dead (mostly lizards, to freak out his friends.) At the age of twelve, however, when most boys are beginning to learn trades under their fathers and train for their adulthoods, Josh is told by an angel that he is the son of God, and that his destiny is to become the savior of all mankind. What a wonderful, creative, funny, and inventive story! The apostle Levi, better known as “Biff”, is resurrected in present times by the angel Raziel to write down his version of the gospels, having been unceremoniously left out of the Bible. The adventure at Lost Mesa teaches Kendra that her lack of training in dealing with dangerous mythological creatures means that she's not as capable of taking care of herself as she'd thought. I don't consider it one of the better ones in the collection, but it's still worth reading.) (That's available at Project Gutenberg's copy of The Collected Ghost Stories of M. What we readers learn about a human becoming a shadow reminds me of the ghost in 'The Residence at Whitminster' by M. I enjoyed his conversation with an elderly demon after two friends are turned into shadows. (It seems that nearly getting his grandparents and sister killed has sobered him a little.) I was sourly amused at how defensive Seth was when his family found out that *gasp* he'd voluntarily read something. Seth isn't nearly as annoying as he was in the first book. The teen's tween brother, Seth, learns more about what ability he gained after book two, Rise of the Evening Star. Kendra learns more about her abilities as 'fairykind,' which she became in book one. When I returned to the shadow plague turning the light mythological creatures at Fablehaven dark, I felt better able to handle it. The adventure at Lost Mesa upset me enough that I decided to make Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder my bedtime listening. Fablehaven didn't feature any deaths of likeable characters, so I had no hesitation listening to book three Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow. |
