coming up: At the Slaughter

The prodigious and prolific Jackie Corley has provided me with what looks to be one yummy manuscript.

The thrillride is called At the Slaughter and within a couple of years you’re going to have read it, too. This is going to be the book that changes people’s lives, like The Catcher in the Rye and On the Road once did (and continue to do so today). It’s going to break records and win every award there is on Earth.

It’s about a tragic kid named Foster O’Reilly. Remember that name. Foster is the most complex and compelling character i think i may have ever run into, in a book, or even in real life. She will grab you by the balls someday and not let go.
The first paragraph is amazing. So far, i’d bet my life that she’s nailed it, in her inimitable way.

Jackie Corley. Foster O’Reilly. Two names, one crushing heartfuck of a book. Remember.

Must go read it now. L8r sk8rz.

By jae

jae lethe (he/she/they) is a blogger, musician, artist, poet, web developer/designer, armchair philosophizer, teller of tales, and gadabout. Also, something he calls a "behavioral artist." (Not sure.) She has plans. BIG plans.

Among the things that he has done for a laugh are minor fractures, cuts, scrapes, and various scabs. Though she's quick to point out that they're no imbecile, we're fairly certain that he thinks the word means some kind of medieval pharmacist.

This is her latest home on teh internets - where jae stores their swear words, when they're not hurling them at the sun in vain.
