Book Description
Gregory Keays is a writer whose brilliant future is behind him. But when an extraordinary student enters his life, Gregory is offered one last, glorious chance to save his career. Soon, however, Gregory’s Faustian pact with success unravels around him, and he must turn to darker, more duplicitous means to secure his fame. Set in the dangerous world where real life and literary ambition collide, Kill Your Darlings is an unforgettable novel of ego and delusion, villainy and the betrayal of love.

A Writer Writing about a Writer Writing.......2007-04-03
Kill Your Darlings is a great find. If you are a writer, or an aspiring one, you will love the dark humor in this book, which follows an author bereft of new ideas who finds inspiration in a surprising and twisted way. I love the protagonist's sardonic humor, and the book's continuous self-referential, self-conscious remarks. As the British say, wicked fun.
No one reads the three star reviews.......2005-08-27
A novel I enjoyed for the bit about literary groupies, the female literary agent who swears a lot, and the fact that the main character can't bring himself to mention the novels of Martin Amis by name. Also for its readability. Minus marks for being a thriller with no tension, unconvincing plot developments, clichéd characters (moody teenage son, low-life gangster), poor dialogue, and a bland prose style: I could've done without the constant use of the word `swagger' in relation to Mart's prose, and fellatio prissily described with the phrase `I took him in my mouth'. Why not just say you sucked his ****? Also, the copy I had was very poorly proofread. Seems like your publishers don't earn their money, Terence. Terence Blacker has a great name by the way. Gregory Keays is also a good name for a character (unlike his agent, Fay Duckworth, who has a crap name). Terence and Gregory are the names of the characters in Martin's novel about failure.
I thrustfully object to the homosexuality.......2004-07-24
Let me make it perfectly clear that I am NOT a homophobe, dammit. I support gay marriage. And, come to think of it, some of my best friends are lesbians. But nevertheless, I'm creeped out by male homosexuality. And as soon as the 2 main male characters launched into a necking session, that's when the nausea factor kicked in and I had to wince my way thru the rest of the fic.
And it's just a darn shame. Because TB is a great writer. I discovered TB by way of his newspaper columns in The Independent. And if I had my druthers, I'd go into publishing and put out a few fat anthologies of TB's columns. (And the same applies to Simon Carr and his columns.)
A Black Comedy for the Publishing World.......2002-02-26
Most English majors think they have a novel or two in them; after reading this book I think I want to avoid the publishing world all together. Writers can be so mean and petty toward each other! That's the impression we get from this dark look at writing and the writing lifestyle, and I loved every page of it. Blacker puts in these lists of famous writers and their quirks (what they did to unblock themselves; quips about their art) that would make a good book on their own (I guess he is working on one that will be out soon). This book is unlike anything I have ever read: Keays seems so honest and trustworthy as first person narrator, but he turns out to be pond scum. And what a surprise ending! It's one of those books where you finish it and start right back at the beginning to see if there was any inkling early on that it would end the way that it did. There isn't, I checked. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
An excellent psychological character novel.......2002-02-06
Gregory Keays is a writer whose future is, as they say, behind him. One novel, a short period spent on the "young writers to watch" list, and the only thing he has produced since is a dozen unfinished novels and a series of not-yet-published volumes about other writers. He writes a column for a writer's magazine and teaches a writing class at a local institute, while his wife has become one of London's leading interior decorators, earning far more money than he ever will. His relationship with his teenage son is terrible. Gregory's envy of those who were once, potentially, his peers has been eating his guts out for years. Most of those working writers, in his opinion, are mere authors; only he is a real "writer." This is especially true of his opinion of Martin Amis -- whom he always refers to as "Martin." (One must wonder about the true relationship between Amis and Blacker, if any. . . .) Then Peter Gibson shows up in his class and Gregory recognizes true talent. He casts himself as Peter's guide to the literary world -- and discovers the young writer has just completed an amazingly mature, groundbreaking novel. A novel that should have been his. Will be his.
This book started out witty and ruefully funny; you shake your head while smiling at Gregory's corrosive ego and self-delusion. After awhile, though, he's not so funny. And by the denouement -- which I, for one, did not see coming -- he has become downright scary. This study of the decay of an admittedly intelligent man's self-image is a remarkable piece of work.

A mystery set at a mystery writers convention.......2000-12-05
This is a fun first novel. It's set at the Boucheron (the big national mystery writers convention) in Chicago in 1984. Mallory's mentor and hero is found dead in the bathtub and there are rumors flying of a newly discovered Hammett. Add in a variety of writing types, two widows of the dead man, a slimy publisher and a cute magazine editor. It's a fun, light read - not cozy cute nor noir dark. I'll read more of this series.
Book Description
In this collection of stylish and cogent essays, cultural historian Luc Sante offers his incomparable take on icons from Arthur Rimbaud to Allen Ginsberg, Rudolph Giuliani to Robert Mapplethorpe, New York to New Jersey, Buddy Bolden to Bob Dylan, Magritte to Tintin, along with meditations on cigarettes, the invention of the blues, hipness, New Year's Eve, and more.

Nicholas Valiarde is both a nobleman and a thief, perhaps the greatest thief in the kingdom of Ile-Rien, where magic is a part of everyday life. Around him he has gathered an unparalleled band of criminals, including a well-known actress, an ex-military officer, a hardened killer, and a sorcerer with a bad drug habit. Valiarde, in the guise of criminal overlord Donatien, is amassing a small fortune in gold and jewels with one purpose in mind: to take his revenge on Count Montesq, the man who leveled false charges of necromancy against Nicholas's beloved godfather Edouard, leading to Edouard's execution. But Nicholas's band of ne'er-do-wells isn't the only force stalking the dark streets of Vienne, and Nicholas is about to face a real necromancer in a battle whose outcome will affect all of Ile-Rien. Wells has created a fast-paced action-adventure story with a wonderful cast of characters and a twisting, turning plot that will keep you flipping pages well into the evening hours. --Craig Engler
Book Description
Nicholas Valiarde is a passionate, embittered nobleman with an enigmatic past. Consumed by thoughts of vengeance, he is consoled only by thoughts of the beautiful, dangerous Madeline. He is also the greatest thief in all of Ile-Rien...
On the gas light streets of the city, he assumes the guise of a master criminal, stealing jewels from wealthy nobles to finance his quest for vengeance the murder of Count Montesq. Montesq orchestrated the wrongful execution of Nicholas's beloved godfather on false charges of necromancy--the art of divination through communion with spirits of the dead--a practice long outlawed in the kingdom of Ile-Rein.
But now Nicholas's murderous mission is being interrupted by a series of eerie, unexplainable, even fatal events. Someone with tremendous magical powers is opposing him. Children vanish, corpses assume the visage of real people, mortal spells are cast, and traces of necromantic power that hasn't been used for centuries are found. And when a spiritualist unwittingly leads Nicholas to a decrepit mansion, the monstrous nature of his peril finally emerges in harrowing detail.Nicholas and his compatriots must destroy an ancient and awesome evil. even teh help of Ile-Rien's greatest sorcerer may not be enough, for Nicholas faces a woefully mismatched battle--and unthinkable horrors await the loser.

Top Notch.......2006-11-13
I only recently discovered this gem, and others have provided complete reviews. This is a wonderful fantasy read set in a world that I find most entertaining, i.e., not outrageously different from our own (no hobbits...). Ms. Wells is very good at her craft and I found the characters interesting and the plot worthy of Sherlock Holmes. Some of the crime scenes were a bit graphic, but in these days of CSI, it was not too distracting.
My only real problem with the book is that I wanted another story with these folks. In the follow on trilogy (the Fall of Ile Rien trilogy) the main characters are not carried over to any great degree . However, in the following books, Ms. Wells creates other intriguing characters to entertain us.
One of the best, most entertaining book I've read!!!.......2006-09-14
This book is brilliant. There is almost nothing in it that I didn't like or that I skipped over. In fact, this may well just be one of my favorite books ever. Yes, it was that good.
First of all is the plot. It never got boring and it never stalled. From chapter one the ride takes off and it doesn't stop until the very end. As the book opens we find ourselves in one of the most lavished mansions where a ball is taking place. Unbeknownst to the attendants, not one but two robberies are occurring simultaneously in that very house. As luck would have it, Nicholas and his friends have a rather nasty run in with a ghoul sent by a powerful necromancer and they barely manage to escape.
From that moment on their lives are complicated beyond belief as they try to put their well thought out plan to bring down the ruthless man who is responsible for Nicholas father's execution as well as trying to escape the clutches of the mad wizard who is after them.
The other thing I loved about this book were the characters. Nicholas is one of the most genuine heroes I've come across in a very long time. Ever since his father was executed he has spent his life building a double persona. One is of a respectable nobleman whom everyone knows as Nicholas Valiarde, son of the late scientist Edouard Viller. The other is Ile-Rien's infamous underworld crime-lord Donatien. He is very adept at keeping the two personalities separated to everyone but his closest friends and allies: Madeleine and Reynard. Only they can see how his vendetta is slowly consuming him and the lines between his two personalities are beginning to blur.
Nicholas comes across effectively as a tortured hero without going over the top. His is a quiet manner yet you never have a doubt that he is anything but a doomed man because of his obsession with revenge. I loved the way that Wells portrays him. Not once does the author trying to convince you the man is tortured or that he is the very best at what he does overwhelm you. It's there in the way he acts or thinks or the way others see him.
Another treat was Madeleine who quickly became one of my favorite heroines. The woman doesn't have one TSTL moment. Ever. Not once does she make a rash and stupid decision. Not once does she falter and wait for everyone to come to her rescue because she got into trouble. She actually thinks before she acts, she is good under pressure and she doesn not doubt the Nicholas' abilities. At the same time you feel the love and the bond she shares with him even without having to read pages of the two declaring their love for one another. I thought this was one of the best things about the novel.
The secondary characters are all brilliant as well. From Nicholas opium addicted wizard friend to his seemingly debauched allied Reynard to even his bodyguards. They all fit their roles perfectly without fading in the background.
The villains are amazing as well. Wells doesn't shy away from showing you just how evil these people really are and that's what makes the danger to our heroes all the more believable.
The one thing I found somewhat lacking is the way in which one of the two villains meets his end. We are lead on a wild chase and the suspense builds up only to be over and done with in the blink of an eye. I would have liked to see exactly what happened but I was satisfied with the way the other, and more important villain, met his demise.
One last thing to note is the setting in which the story takes place. I am a sucker for steampunk type stories where the settings are reminiscence of Victorian, Edwardian or turn of the century Europe. Ile-Rien reminds you of an 18th century alternate France where wizards and magic are a common sight. I absolutely loved it and Wells does a helluva job painting each scene so vividly you feel you are practically there.
This is damn near perfect and I dare say anyone that enjoys a good story will be glued to the book until the very end. A wonderful, wonderful ride.
I give it a solid 5 out of 5!
Fabulous introduction to a wonderful author.......2006-06-24
This was the first Martha Wells book I read, some years ago. I needed something to read while traveling, liked the cover enough to read the inside blurb, and liked the blurb enough to buy the book. So I went in with no preconceptions, never having heard of the author before, and emerged amazed at how entertained I was by the book.
What is there to like? The setting, for one. The city of Ile-Rien and the surrounding areas are wonderfully imagined and carefully described. Wells is an expert at selecting places/eras/ideas from our own Earthly history as archtype backdrops in forming her fantastic worlds, and then adding unique details that make those places seem perhaps even more real. In this case it's a 1800s France-that-never-was, where science (gas lamps, trains, pistols) and magic have intersected -- at times smoothly and at times not so smoothly.
Indeed, it is this intersection which drives the plot, which surrounds mechanical "spheres" created by Edouard Viller that are designed to allow non-magicians to do magic. The wrongful execution of Edouard for the forbidden magic of necromancy during the construction of the spheres drives his adopted son, Nicholas, to the criminal underground in an effort to punish those responsible. While the story broadens to include a threat to the whole city -- indeed, the whole country -- it always remains at heart a very personal one, of Nicholas struggling between his need for revenge and his (at times skewed) sense of right. Along the way we get to explore the sewers and dungeons of the city, the lairs of criminals, the street cafes of the demi monde, and the royal palace, while meeting a fascinating cast of characters at all points.
The best and worst part of the book are the characters. I found them to be varied, interesting and likeable -- Nicholas with his inner struggle, Madeline the actress as a very female foil to him while also having her own ruthless practicality and high level of capability, Arisilde the flawed but powerful mage, Reynard the disgraced soldier, Ronsarde the aging police inspector, etc. They have enough flaws that we can relate to, they have a complex inner mental life that we're allowed to peek into, and dialog sparkles between them: the way they talk is the way I wish people talked today. The drawbacks to the characters are that at times Nicholas, Madeline and Ronsard all seem a little too capable, meaning their success is seldom in doubt; there are some pretty blatant parallels to other literary figures (Nicholas the crime boss = Moriarty, Ronsarde and Halle = Holmes/Watson) which makes them instantly comprehensible but not overly imaginative characterizations; they are in some ways treated with kid gloves (we never see Nicholas the city crime boss hurting anyone in his crimes, and he never steals from anyone who doesn't deserve it); and, finally, having read Wells' other books, there are a lot of similar romantic dynamics in nearly all her books, a certain wry uncertainty in the relationship between the lead male and female characters.
None of the drawbacks, it's important to note, were things I noticed while reading the book: I was having too much fun. Wells is simply miles ahead of the Jordan/Brooks/Rowling/etc. crowd at crafting sentences that describe just enough to let your imagination take over, without being either overly mechanical or overly flowery in her use of language. This is not a highly allegorical, deeply thoughtful book filled with tremendous inner meaning and complexity; nor is it a multi-volume prophesy-driven coming-of-age epic fantasy with the usual cast of elves, dwarves, and orcs. This is something there is all too little of, a single-volume story of a fantastic world well-imagined and carefully crafted, a smaller tale of individuals and their personal goals. If that sounds appealing to you, I can recommend this (as well as most of Martha Wells' other books) to you wholeheartedly.
An excellent and enticing mix of genres.......2006-01-06
A clever mix of Victorian gothic mystery with a liberal dose of fantasy and some very tight and skillful writing - what more can a reader ask for? The characters are diverse and well fleshed out, the atmosphere is readily apparant, the created world is palpable and the mystery is intriguing. Wells gives us easily-recognized versions of Holmes and Watson, yet tells the story from the viewpoint of a wronged and driven Moriarty. We start out knowing little about this our protagonist's background or his loyal companions in crime, but we gradually pick up tidbits as we hang on for the ride. This results in plenty of 'ah-hah!' moments while reading and makes Death of the Necromancer that much more enjoyable. The pacing is fast with plenty of action (perhaps a bit too much?) and there isn't a dull moment in the book. This works against it when the slightly rushed climax fails to be quite as exciting as previous events, but that's a minor quibble. Highly recommended.
An Amazing Book.......2005-12-14
Ms. Wells won me over in the first few pages of this book, thanks to her stylish but restrained writing, her deft characterization, and appealing characters. After quickly hooking me, she kept my attention with a clever, complicated, and thoughtful fantasy-by-gaslight plot.
This book is in some measure a tribute to Conan Doyle's London, but it's also much more. If you somehow picked this book up without ever having read Conan Doyle, you'd miss that layer of her writing, but it would in no way lessen your enjoyment.
Wells' own gaslit Vienne is quite well developed in ways that are vastly distinct from Conan Doyle's London--her Ile-Rien, as unveiled in six books and several forthcoming short stories set in a variety of different time-periods, is a marvel of world building. She hasn't simply riffed on Victorian London here; she's created a world that evolved organically from her earlier work (set centuries before), the Element of Fire. This world gives a nod to Conan Doyle's London, but there's far more of Wells' own content to it.
Yes, there is a character who plays the Sherlock role, and Watson as well, but they are by no means the main characters; they're there purely for our entertainment, but there's just enough of them, and they're just enough their own distinct characters that you never get the sense that Wells is winking too broadly when she brings them onstage.
Our protagonist, Nicholas Valiarde's Donatien alias fills the Moriarty role in Wells' world, but Nicholas himself couldn't be further from the evil Professor, and Donatien is merely one alias among many--he's in no way the real Nicholas, or, at least, not the whole Nicholas. Nicholas is a fascinating character, and a rich one, as is his companion Madeline, who is a strong co-lead.
This is a great read. It works well as a fantasy, an adventure, and mystery. It's got strong well developed characters, and in Ms. Wells talented hands the plot wends its way through balls, sewers, seances, and pitched street battles with grace, wit, and aplomb.
This book is a very good starting place for those who haven't yet encountered Ms. Wells' excellent books. Highly recommended.

A good sci-fi yarn for youth, albeit dated,.......1999-06-09
This volume is the eighth and last in the Lucky Starr series for teenagers, originally published under the pseudonym Paul French. A secret agent for Earth's enemy, Sirius, has stolen some intelligence and escaped to the moons of Saturn. Lucky Starr and his friend Bigman race to Saturn only to discover an enemy base set up on Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Somehow they have to return to Earth and force the Sirians out of the Solar System without starting an interstellar war. The story line in Asimov's novel involves the settling of an "enemy" of Earth within Earth's region of space. It's amazing how close Asimov was to an analogous situation in recent history. A short while after this book appeared, there was a revolution in Cuba which resulted in the Soviet Union having an ally close to the U.S. mainland. More moons are now known to orbit Saturn than were known in 1958; there are at least twenty satellites. In the novel, two moons play central roles: Titan, the largest of Saturn's moons, and Mimas, which Asimov (in 1958) states is the moon closest to the planet. However, we now know of closer moons. A photograph of Mimas taken by a fly-by probe shows a giant impact crater having a diameter about one-third that of Mimas. The crater, now named Hershel, has walls of about 16000 feet in height and a central mountain reaching up to 20000 feet. Just as in Asimov's novel, Mimas appears to be made up of mostly water ice, with 20%-to-50% rock. Titan has a substantial atmosphere, mostly nitrogen with some methane.

The Sixth and Last Book in the Lucky Starr Series.......2006-06-05
Though Isaac Asimov, one of the principal forces behind modern science fiction, wrote this book under a pseudonym (Paul French), he eventually tired of the pseudonym and put all sorts of clues into these books that should have led most readers to figure out who the actual author was. I will leave a reader to learn those clues for themselves.
In this book, the sixth and final book in the Lucky Starr series, Lucky and his friend Bigman journey to Saturn as they chase a Sirian spy that has information regarding Earth's defenses. Unfortunately, Lucky is captured by the Sirians and it appears that the Sirians will use Lucky to set all human settled worlds against Earth. Things look tense as a meeting of all human worlds gathers to determine the fate of humankind. Can Earth keep peace? Can the Earth remove a Sirian settlement from the Solar System? How will Lucky and two other Earthmen escape from the clutches of the cold-hearted and sinister Sirians? Read the book and find all the answers!
Isaac Asimov originally wrote the Lucky Starr books in the 1950s. By the time the books were reissued, our knowledge of our solar system had changed dramatically. Many of Asimov's descriptions of Jupiter's moons and Jupiter itself have been invalidated by flybys from various space craft, as Asimov explains in a forward to the revised books.
Look for this book also collected in a single volume with "Lucky Starr and the Big Sun of Mercury" and "Lucky Starr and the Moons of Jupiter." That book is titled "The Further Adventures of Lucky Starr." This book is also collected in "The Complete Adventures of Lucky Starr." Other collections may exist.
The Lucky Starr books are a casual read and perfect for readers who enjoyed the Tom Corbett, Space Cadet series of books and Heinlein's juvenile books. There is a lot of logic in each of the books, and just enough hard science fiction to tantalize a reader and hopefully cause the reader to learn more. These books do have a flavor of Asimov's other books, but are less sophisticated. I enjoy these books, but some other readers may find them too mundane. I recommend these books carefully, because I do not know which category of reader you may be. Good luck!

This is the ultimate living foods recipe book in my opinion. The

If you are very sick and the doctor has no answer for you .......2006-03-23
or you just want to stay healthy, this is a book that should be in your collection. It is an old book that I recently ordered for my own daughter because of her two year bout with anemia, poor liver function, low immune system and other maladies at only age 38, for which several doctors could find no remedy. It may be old, but the methods outlined in it work as well today as they did for me five years ago.
Between the two of us (she and I), she was able to go completely on this program and has just received normal blood tests for the first time in over 2 years. The time to these normal results from start to finish was about 4 months. A short time considering the years it takes for us to ruin our own health by eating the standard American diet (known as the SAD) and living the stressful and less-than-healthy lifestyle.
In addition to the recipes in this book, Ann Wigmore explains the factors in our lifestyle that make us sick, and gives the natural remedies with explanations of why they work. And they do work. I myself recovered from so-called "normal" challenges of aging 5 years ago while following this program, including arthritis, high blood pressure, acid reflux and other maladies. I now require no medications for anything.
I highly recommend this book for those who want to return to wellness enough to be proactive and take responsibility for their own health.
Must have book for tastey, vitally healthful natural food!.......1999-02-13
Learn the miracle of sprouted and fermented foods. Transform seeds, nuts and grains into nutritious and delicious sauces, cheeses and loafs. Excellent charts and how-to sections. Beautifully illustrated with upbeat language. A tremendous asset to my kitchen skills. I paid twice the price at the local store! Now I'll order Ann's other books from Amazon!
