Patrick Stuart's review
of
REQUIEM VAMPIRE KNIGHT OMNIBUS VOLUME 1 GN:
"Get ready to cringe and cum at about the same time from the most fr*nch shit imaginable. Shameless, stupid, deranged. About as deep as a puddle of perfumed piss. Absolutely gorgeous though. This is like if a genius who is also an idiot teamed up with"

| A biography of Alice Prin, one of the most famous models of the Jazz Age (you know the Man Ray photo of a woman’s back with black marks making her look like a violin? That’s her). The black and white line art has the same child-like feel of Persepoli ...more | |

Not very satisfying - the killer's motive is weak, and Wallander relies on intuition too much ("I don't know how I know, I just know."). Also, he breaks into the suspect's home without a warrant - doesn't that make evidence found their inadmissable, ...more |

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

“Elmore Leonard's Ten Rules of Writing
1. Never open a book with weather.
2. Avoid prologues.
3. Never use a verb other than "said" to carry dialogue.
4. Never use an adverb to modify the verb "said”…he admonished gravely.
5. Keep your exclamation points under control. You are allowed no more than two or three per 100,000 words of prose.
6. Never use the words "suddenly" or "all hell broke loose."
7. Use regional dialect, patois, sparingly.
8. Avoid detailed descriptions of characters.
9. Don't go into great detail describing places and things.
10. Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip.
My most important rule is one that sums up the 10.
If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it.”
