First off, his books a bit of a spiritual side. What differentiated him from other YA Horror authors were several things.

I do frequent rereads of some of my old favorites though. Still do although I do not follow him anymore. And I am also a huge Pike fan so there's two reasons for me to have read this book right there.įor those not familiar with Pike.he writes Young adult horror. "It all began in minutes, but it might just as well have ended then, too."Īt least I've always thought so. Uh, anyway: weird! creepy! will definitely keep you guessing! if you buy the other edition, it will also serve as porn for the blind (tm renata)! honestly, i have topics written down for at least ten thesis papers i could write on pike's canon.) (i would also love to discuss how pike uses lizard people in his books, and gender roles, and revenge. i would like to spend some time discussing the similarities in characterization between cessie and sati, but as i am pretty sure i'm the only person in the universe who is interested in this, it will have to wait. the ending was kind of strange and open-ended, but i think that was pretty typical for him. (book lengths were MUCH shorter, so they couldn't really afford to waste words.) his story is still batshit but has internal logic, and some of the characters gave me a lot of feelings. pike's writing is definitely more utilitarian than what we expect from ya today, but when this came out that was the standard. This was better than i remembered it being.

(this is all to say, you should probably take any review i write for a christopher pike book with a grain of salt because i think the man is a genius and you will never change my mind.) i'm pretty excited about doing the podcast with them, but i'm a little worried about my overwhelmingly positive feelings. i am.kind of an insanely big fan of christopher pike, and have been for 19 (!!!) years. Get ready to explore our property! Pack your hiking shoes, camera, and desire to compete for an afternoon excursion with us.So, i reread this for a podcast my friends are doing.
