Happy Holidays 2015
The Week In View:
Rarity from the Hollow, an adult literary science fiction novel published by Dog Horn Publishing, was featured in a Bulgarian newsletter today: http://codices.info/?na=v&id=5&am... The newsletter included a link to a new book review of the novel, a link to a follow-up author interview, and, as a Christmas present to its readers -- a link to "The Festival" a story especially for your holiday enjoyment and written by H.P. Lovecraft.
I recommend checking out this fresh and bold new voice in the world of literature. The newsletter is free!
The novel also received a couple of wonderful early holiday presents this past week. KDH Reviews found that Rarity from the Hollow was unique. It gave the story a 4 of 5 stars rating, and said that the novel would likely be rated higher over time. Yes, I agree with this review. There are unsettling issues in the story that take time to digest. "I really liked this book." This review in its entirety can be found at: http://www.kdhreviews.com/2015/12/boo...
A couple of days after the KDH book review was published, Ann Levi Andrews joined the growing number of people committed to the Rarity from the Hollow project, and its mission to help raise awareness of the needs of maltreated children. Ann is an accomplished author and a Goodreads Moderator of a major group. Last Monday, Ann published an article, "Silly Symbolism in Science Fiction," that I'd written about how science fiction today becomes reality tomorrow. The article can be found on her blog: http://www.annliviandrews.com/ramblin... Her post includes an excerpt of the novel, scene two, during which Lacy Dawn helps peers at school face tough issues: bullying, depression and anxiety during childhood -- stuff that Santa wouldn't have placed under their Christmas trees.
Thanks for providing me the opportunity to update you on Rarity from the Hollow, especially to Adam Lowe, Editor of Dog Horn Publishing. As we face our new years together, please keep in mind that this novel is: “…a hillbilly version of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy…The author has managed to do what I would have thought impossible; taken serious subjects like poverty, ignorance, abuse, and written about them with tongue-in-cheek humor without trivializing them…Eggleton sucks you into the Hollow, dunks you in the creek, rolls you in the mud, and splays you in the sun to dry off. Tucked between the folds of humor are some profound observations on human nature and modern society that you have to read to appreciate…it’s a funny book that most sci-fi fans will thoroughly enjoy….” http://awesomeindies.net/ai-approved-...
You can show your support for traditional small press publishers by buying directly from the presses. Rarity from the Hollow is available from: http://www.doghornpublishing.com/word...
