This Book Has Worms In It!: The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires By Grady Hendrix
People are so strange when you’re a stranger.
There are many things that a born and city-raised Northerner just knows about their neighborhood. We already have things figured out even before you’ve learned the sound of our voice. Keeping your eyes open and your mouth shut was paramount living in a high rise. You felt safe but knew that could switch to fear in a heartbeat.
I can’t say that’s true for all Skyscraper Gargoyles like myself, but things really aren’t that different when compared to a “community”. What is different is when mystery becomes muddled with money and that’s what all people see.
Here, in this book, money was a fat slice of the pie that got what people wanted, desired, struggled for, and if they were successful they would have been all left scratching their heads as to how they could be so blind.
It’s easy. So, so easy.
Easy could have defined most of the lives touched in this novel. The easiest part overall was dying. James Harris had it easiest of all. He was already dead, everyone else was just pretending they weren’t.
Hendrix loves women, I tell ya. He’s no fool to who really are the beasts of burden; what we’re actually capable of. No one gives so much of a damn than a housewife who gets shit done.
If you’re familiar with the author then you’ll be in for another great one. In the next few years, this novel and his other works are looked at into being movies or series. I think they’ll hold up quite fine.
You can find Grady Hendrix and all his works online or where ever books are sold.
