I’ve been hearing nothing but good things about Alice, so I thought I’d post an homage to Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland. Flirtbuttons is selling this Alice Drink Me Bottle Opener in their etsy shop, and how appropriate! After all, how was Alice opening those bottles in the story?

Kimmermonroe crafted this Polymer Clay Taheen inspired by the creepy half animal villains from Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series. Personally, I am a huge King fan and a lover of all seven Dark Tower books, so seeing a Dark Tower craft really made my day!

Inconsolable is not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. Before I received my copy in the mail, author Shaheed Shabazz warned me that the book was “graphic and twisted” and I smirked to myself, thinking “He doesn’t know me very well, graphic and twisted is what I do“. I was not prepared in the least for the gore-filled, horrifying ride that calls itself Inconsolable.
There were times, while reading this revenge tale full of drugs, torture and mind tricks, that I couldn’t put the book down–there were other times when I was so horrified by the images Shabazz so skillfully painted that I had to put the book down to give myself a break from the intensity. The story starts out calmly enough, introducing the reader to Sean Stiles, a character who at once seems unassuming and noble. Shortly after we meet him, he meets a group of meth heads and loses his life. The story picks up down the line, where our meth addicted murderers have sworn each other to secrecy, gotten clean and moved on. Or so they thought.
Although they were sure no one would “miss” Sean Stiles it becomes clear that someone did, and that someone is intent on ripping apart their lives, and their bodies. With scenes straight out of a Japanese horror flick, Shabazz throws us into a world that is run by the Blue Giant, where justice is carried out slice by slice, slowly but surely, and where no one is off-limits. The book will leave you shaken, terrified to close your eyes, and regretting every wrong you have ever committed in your life. It’s a great read–if you’re brave enough.
See what Shaheed Shabazz had to say to Geek Crafts after the jump.
