![]() ![]() Maybe worse, a meningitis that you can control, if you just follow orders from the top. A leprosy that can be stemmed by just behaving like everyone else. Imagine a cancer that you can keep at bay if you fall in line with a crowd. This is about a plague that can be tamed. See, this is a novel about tribal behaviour. But what starts out as a novel about a plague, and all that typical post-apocalyptic nonsense that goes along with it, shifts gear at the end of a wildly entertaining first third, and becomes something much, much more interesting. ![]() Incurable – Glen Beck explodes at the start – that’s how serious it all is. It’s a novel that first and foremost appears to be about a plague, a terrible plague that causes spontaneous human combustion within anyone who catches it. Without even referencing a single one of his father’s novels. We’re going to review Joe Hill’s new novel The Fireman without once mentioning his parentage. ![]()

![]() ![]() Religion for Atheists aims to ‘build bridges’ between the religious and secular worlds that de Botton feels have been polarised by what he calls, more than once and with more than a little air of disparagement, ‘the noise emanating from north Oxford’. Nevertheless, this is his latest project. ![]() In all of de Botton’s work, there is this seeking impulse that mirrors that of religion his central question is ‘How should we live?’ And yet, says de Botton, it ‘felt unnatural to seek wisdom in religion, because I’m an atheist.’ ‘I’ve been looking for wisdom,’ says Alain de Botton to a packed Barclays Pavilion – Hay-on-Wye’s equivalent of Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The religious overtones, custody battles, public outcry in both countries and political sensitivities between Malaysia and Singapore had resulted in a request by the Singapore government – keen to be doing something – to the Malaysian government – keen to be seen above the fry – that a Singaporean policeman be seconded to the investigation.” “ As a rule the arrest of a Singaporean by any foreign country would not have involved the Singapore police.” “ But this case is different though. ![]() Lee abused her for years and was trying to take her children away from her.

In past years, we've resisted giving authors more than one slot on the list (though we made an exception for Nora Roberts during the 2015 romance poll - and she's basically the Stephen King of romance.) In the end, we decided that since so much classic horror is in short story format, we would allow authors one novel and one short story if necessary. I'd be hiding under the bed shuddering without their help.Īnd a word about Stephen King: Out of almost 7,000 nominations you sent in, 1,023 of them were for the modern master of horror. Readers did nominate them, but the judges felt uncomfortable debating the inclusion of their own work - so it's up to me to tell you to find and read their excellent books! I personally, as a gigantic horror wuss, owe a debt of gratitude to this year's judges, particularly Hendrix, for their help writing summaries for all the list entries. One thing you won't see on the list is any work from this year's judges, Stephen Graham Jones, Ruthanna Emrys, Tananarive Due and Grady Hendrix.
