metalmaniac777 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Currently reading Gone South by Robert R. McCammon. For those who don't know, McCammon started out in the 80s as a horror writer, then in the 90s turned in a Southern gothic direction. His horror novels (Wolf's Hour, Stinger, Mine, etc.) remain some of my favorites in that genre, but based on what I've read so far in Gone South, the man just has a gift for storytelling. Southern gothic is not a literary subgenre I particularly enjoy, but McCammon's got me turning the pages like a crack addict jonesin' for the next hit. Takes a special author to be able to take a dying Vietnam vet, an accidental murder, a bounty hunter with a third arm, an Elvis Presley impersonator, a mystical faith healer, and a girl cursed with the world's ugliest birthmark on her face and spin them all into a wildly entertaining tale, but McCammon pulls it off.

Backed. McCammon is an excellent writer. As Martinsane suggested, go for "Boy's Life" next... fantastic book!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read the latest stuff, I stopped at "The Riftwar Legacy" books, like "Krondor: The Assassins" and such, I thought it started getting a bit weak, but prior to that he was easily one of my favorite authors... I may have to see what he's doing these days, see if I'm likin' what he's putting out now... hmm, and I have a Barnes & Noble gift card in my wallet... hmm...
