Loneliness, an obsessive hatred of Robert Palmer's record, necrophilia. As to the story itself: a quiet rock obsessive is driven to distraction by a girl who shuns everything in his (quite frankly, impeccable) record collection in favour of the despised CD his mum bought him. and above all, The Adverts (Bobby Ives, the damaged protagonist of Tessier's classic modern werewolf novel, Nightwalker (Macmillan, 1979, Pan 1980), even gets to attend one of their gigs at the Roxy in Covent Garden) and T. Suffice to say that Tessier was living in London at the time and obviously picked up a fondness for punk and the darker new wave bands - PIL, Joy Division & Co. I've blabbed about Thomas Tessier's classic Addicted To Love so many times that were I to add much more there'd be no point anybody reading it. where other-earthly pirates bootleg not records, but human souls. where radio stations sponsor ghastly giveaways that no living soul could want. Rock to the world of horror where martyred musical super-legends return from the dead at 120 decibels. With its hot licks and raw glitter, has a dark side too - where the party stops and the terror begins. and ten other stars of today's shock fiction know what metalheads and moralists, punksters and preachers have known all along. Paul Wilson - Bob Dylan, Troy Jonson, and The Speed Queen Stephen King - You Know They've Got a Hell Of A Bandį.

Protagonist Jimmy Rabbitte, who formed and managed the Commitments, is still a musical hustler, but now his racket is reuniting and reissuing music from bands of that earlier era, many of whom he holds in great contempt. This represents a return to form, not quite a sequel to that debut and not quite as good but a novel that shows how the musical generation he chronicled earlier is now dealing with mortality, family, nostalgia and all sorts of issues of getting older but not necessarily smarter (or, in some cases, happier). The prolific author has since written some novels that are even better than the first, though his recent output has been more erratic. The publication of The Commitments (1987) established Doyle as a master of the Irish vernacular, earning its place on the short shelf of great rock novels and inspiring a movie that reached an even wider audience. In this entertainingly chatty novel, the Irish author revisits some characters from the well-received debut that launched his career, but he isn’t quite sure what to do with them.

Which, I’m afraid, is when the problems start. Even so, it takes a plain-speaking young journalist (befriending her in the hope of a scoop) to point out that something truly sinister may be afoot. But as the days pass and her charge’s condition deteriorates, it seems increasingly possible that she may somehow be complicit in whatever damage is being done. In a country where the potato famine is all too recent history and folk insist on sprinkling salt on their porridge to keep the “little people” away, Lib is at first torn between concern, bewilderment and medically trained scepticism. All the ingredients of Room are here, just shaken up and spilled out differently.Īnd the first half is indeed a deliciously creepy gothic cocktail, enticingly set up and chillingly, suspensefully dragged out. So there it all is: a room, a child and an adult thrown into claustrophobic proximity, not to mention an escalating sense of manipulation, jeopardy and possibly abuse. For two weeks, Lib and a local nun will take it in turns to keep a round-the-clock watch, before a verdict is pronounced. |
