![]() ![]() ![]() According to Steven’s father, George Huxley, Ryhope Wood is a magical entity, which is the home of the mythago ( myth imago), “the image of the idealized form of a myth creature”. Set just after the WWII, Mythago Wood tells the story of Steven Huxley, his family and the deep, unexplained connection they have with the bordering Ryhope Wood. But I’ll try to summarise everything in several neat points. I’ve written quite a few notes, some of which follow the story page by page. When I finished reading the book, I felt that I have too many things to say and discuss, and not enough time (in this case – space) to get into every little detail. Mythago Wood definitely gives you something to think about. And just like a little child, I didn’t understand everything, but I didn’t have to, the fairy tale enchanted me. Nevertheless, I felt like a little child hearing the story of my ancestors for the first time. This was not because the language was unnecessarily heavy or convoluted, but because I usually read in the evenings after work when I’m rather tired. Robert Holdstock has a very unique way of story-telling, which was a bit difficult to follow at times. I braced myself for the second round of fantasy stories and it was a bit of a challenge. ![]()

The Exorcist was, and is, more than just a novel and a film: it is a true landmark of American culture. The three major television networks carried footage of these events, and CBS's Walter Cronkite devoted almost ten minutes to the story. In Kansas City, police used tear gas to disperse an impatient crowd who tried to force their way into a cinema. In Chicago, frustrated moviegoers used a battering ram to gain entry through the double side doors of a theater. On the opening day of the film, lines of fans stretched around city blocks. It also became a wildly popular motion picture, garnering ten Academy Award nominations. A literary phenomenon soon after its release, it spent fifty-seven weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, seventeen consecutively at number one.

Even though she's treated like a cursed outcast by most of her village, she's someone who looks past it and cherishes her relationship with children in the village and her father. Serilda's god-given gift for storytelling and lies gets her into trouble but it also keeps her alive and keeps her searching for the truth through story. A straight couple has sex, with little described beyond kissing, some light groping, and undressing. Sexual content is slightly more mature in Gilded as well. There's much talk of parent loss as well, and wonder if parents are truly gone or can be found. Magical animals are also captured with mentions that they are tortured. An undead creature gnaws at his own arm and attacks its live family, a hell hound gets an arrow shot through its eye, a ghost's head rolls off its body, and more. The main character, Serilda, cavorts with a whole world of the cruel undead led by the Erlking who kidnap young children and rip out their hearts. ![]() ![]() Expect more gory violence in this story than in Meyer's past books. ![]() Parents need to know that Gilded is a bold reimagining of the fairy tale "Rumpelstiltskin" from Marissa Meyer, the popular author of the Lunar Chronicles series and Heartless. ![]() |
