Title: Caitlin Kiernan should be a name heard in Hollywood
Review: Atfer having gone through Anne Rice books, Tolkien books, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and so on, all these books have a very definite style of writing. Kiernan clearly intends on creating a style for herself as well. As a Gen-Xer myself, I have been intrigued by the gothic scene, and this book transcends the niche very acurately. Other reviews usually state that Kiernan uses metaphors that are detached from reality in some way, and they do not necessarily follow through, sort of like a ramble. I must say that the rambles, to me, add much more texture and character to the story. The reading process is very similar to a human thought pattern, detached, rapid, the mind has trouble focusing on one particular word or vehicle for the emotion. This is a key that Caitlin Kiernan has forged for herself, and with it she could very well open the Gates of her mind and unleash Hell upon us (hopefully she will!)
