Just a note that Ship Of Fools was re-released by Orbit Book as Unto Leviathon in case anyone, like me, was struggling to find a kindle edition.

Oho, space horror! I'm still dealing with the mermaids, though. p.s. By the way, The Midnight Meat Train (1984) by Clive Barker is a good story (from Books of Blood, vol. I).

Hello! I'm really enjoying your videos and our tastes tend to run pretty close when it comes to horror, so I was wondering if you had any fantasy horror recs? I've been scouring the internet in search of them and coming up empty almost every time. By fantasy horror I mean horror set in fantasy worlds and where it's not just a horror scene or two in an otherwise completely fantasy (or dark fantasy or grimdark) novel but an honest horror book with the athmosphere and everything. (Also, might pick Meat up, thanks for sharing ^w^)

But I was wondering all these years, is there a sequel, or a 2nd book to this story???? (I hope I didn't spoiled this book to anyone who wants to read it?)

I liked all the characters without reservation. Especially Brewer, who comes from one of the most brutal and ugly home lives I could possibly imagine and yet has still managed to develop into a good-natured kid with more empathy than virtually anyone else his age, who is completely ride-or-die supportive of his friends.

I downloaded Ship of Fools just now. Sounds good. In the back of my mind is a space horror book I read last year that I liked. I'm trying to come up with the title. I'll have to check Calibre when I'm back home so I can post the title here. Speaking of the almost religion of meat, Google Mundare Saskatchewan and look at the images. Maybe the town inspired the book. :) We travelled through Mundare years ago, and when we saw the statue we stopped to take a picture (as did four other families in cars in the two minutes we were there).

@@TheShadesofOrange oof, Alberta, yes. We were there in 2004 so it's been a while (went from ON to the YT for work, so went by car). Finished Klara and the Sun. Poignant. Liked it. Ending different than I expected. Was intrigued with the descriptions of how Klara sees things (in boxes with boxes becoming larger/smaller based on importance of the object or event, and the attention she had to divert to it. And how she could see several emotional faces in things at once (eyes narrowed, eyes open, eyes fearful)). A clever creative film director and team could bring this book to life. If it worked, it'd be brilliant. If it worked. Perhaps better to keep the story in the book and the telling in our heads. d Thank you for recommending it.

I can't imagine that you didn't feel The Loop had heart. It was absolutely *overflowing* with heart. The teens actually seemed like real teens, and it was all basically a story about the misfit kids of a gentrified small town banding together to save the town that had rejected them and written them off as the losers and undesirables. As for being a John Carpenter-style movie homage, definitely. But I loved these kids and the story was heaps of fun. Glad to see you enjoyed Ship of Fools. Part of the philosophical aspect of the story is that it postulates the existence of evil as an actual, material force in the universe, like physics. It really was a book that was epic in scope, and covered a lot of narrative ground. I think it's an underappreciated cosmic horror classic.
