As many of you know myself and @torstenvblog like to spend our time writing and watching horror movies. He hasn’t really put much up here in the last year or two because he has been hard at work writing another book. ( There is a link to his first The Flies Inside as well as my own at the bottom)
He did however send me a copy of it, which unknown to him I finally got around to finishing. It is only a beta version and he was editing earlier parts as I read later parts and others gave him feedback.
I won’t pretend it is the greatest thing I ever read, I won’t even try to convince anyone it is top 10. It is an unfinished book that still needs quite a bit of editing after all. What I will say is the potential for a great book is definitely there.
The story revolves around Pinstriker, a youth that has had a less than steller life and is about to get some special powers that won’t be making it any easier. As he struggles to come to terms with his new life in what I can only describe as a world that has undergone some sort of apocalypse I assume Pinstriker will be dragged into a brutal life of death and destruction.
Now I know you can find most of that on Netflix, but much of how it is done is what made it so interesting. One of the characters, Sid, is essentially a humanoid duck with superpowers and no not like Howard the Duck. Think a human that had duck-like features forced on him.
That is just a small preview of a book I read that has a long way to go before it is officially released, but has a ton of potential as well. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
