From the moment Grimes comes to, it's a harrowing battle to avoid hordes of decomposing zombies and a hope-against-all-odds search for his missing family.

Philip Larkin has an unfinished poem from the early 1960s called “The Dance” in which the main character “in the darkening mirror sees/The shame of evening trousers, evening tie” and then, on arrival in the dancehall, finds himself edging “along the noise/Towards a trestled bar, lacking the poise/To look about me.” He soon wonders what he is doing in public at all when he could be “really drinking, or in bed,/Or listening to records.” When he sees the object of his desire, he wishes “desperately for qualities/Moments like this demand, and which I lack.” Later he feels “How right/I should have been to keep away.” The poem enacts a strange, awkward, and deeply felt melancholy, but the tone, the phrasing, the use of stanza form and rhyme are controlled, almost magisterial. It is as though the prose represents the ordered noise that society makes, or indeed the sound of the reader’s judgment, all the more to emphasize the inner and disordered fear of the male protagonist as he lives in a state of vast uneasiness. ![]() The sentences used to describe moments, or indeed hours and years, of inglorious discomfort remain, however, in the work of Julian Barnes, elegant, careful, and stylish. ![]() ![]() When their characters wear the wrong clothes, for example, or are members of the wrong class, this can appear as deep, almost spiritual, unsettlement. ![]() English writers have come to describe awkwardness with a great tender ease. ![]() ![]() June, Delia, and June’s boyfriend Ryan were just having a little fun.

Setting itself around ideas concerning eroticism and bondage, this are fairly risque novels that leave no-holds barred in their frank and graphic depictions of sex and sexuality. This lends itself to a fairly episodic format generally, which means it appeals to a wider audience looking for a more casual read, as it can be picked up at any point in the series. Featuring different stories throughout the series overall, it concerns a new tale each novel, each one containing a new set of themes and arcs within. This has become increasingly the case with her hugely popular Wicked Lovers series, which has garnered a massive amount of attention both critically and commercially with each subsequent release. Creating the novels that her ever growing audience has come to appreciate over the years, her writing career has gone from strength-to-strength. Focusing on the themes of the erotic and the paranormal, as well as historical romances along with contemporary, the American author Shayla Black is extremely well-regarded within her particular field. ![]() |
