![]() Here he showcases how mature he has grown as a writer and how to do it without sacrificing what made him so awesome in the first place: all the gooey gory stuff. ![]() While I recommend anything he has written this is him at the top of his game. The second one had all those killer elements but added a whole Memento like broken timeline piece to the puzzle that goes to the craziest of places and reminded me why I think Tim Curran is one of the best writers of fiction writing at this time: because he has one of the best imaginations out there. Set up + Spooky History + Grand Finale Gorefest = a fantastic story. The first one is a Tim-Curran-Creature-Feature-Splatterpalooza and it was more inline with what the original book was like. ![]() That issue is fixed and both stories in this are fast paced AF, and they are both awesome for completely different reasons. I loved the original Dead Sea novel but thought it could have been a tad more streamlined, that some parts were a bit long. ![]() Buckle up folks, because this may be the best stuff he has ever written. My reviews for Tim Curran books usually consist of a bunch of superlatives, a whole lot of praising and respect and admiration and love, then some more superlatives, maybe some hyperbole, then some shameless groveling and fanboy gushing to finish. ![]()

It immediately became a classic of ‘modern romance’, and was plundered by imitators. The publication of Radcliffe’s The Romance of the Forest the following year (1791) established the rage for the Gothic novel. Sir Walter Scott in 1824 recalled that when A Sicilian Romance appeared, it ‘attracted in no ordinary degree the attention of the public’, and it was on the basis of its poetic imagery and scenery ‘like those of a splendid oriental tale’ that Scott awarded Radcliffe the title of ‘the first poetess of romantic fiction’. The medieval trappings used by Walpole acted as a constraint upon creativity, but once writers jettisoned antiquarian authenticity in favour of vaguely late-medieval or Renaissance exoticism, they felt freer to follow their imagination. ![]() Very few Gothic novels were published before then, but a flood of them appeared afterwards.
