A WASP out of synch with the hive. Autodidacyic polymath. Enemy of the state since birth, and i'm tired of it.

reviewed The Scream by John Skipp

John Skipp, Craig Spector: The Scream (Hardcover, 2001, Stealth Press)

This book was light years ahead of its time

I can't praise this enough. Not for kids, unless they're me. I read it at age 13. Zombies? Check, but they're spread sexually (AIDS). PTSD? Check. Vietnam vets. Abortion? Check. A main character needs one. Religious right? Double-check. Satanists? Sorta. Demonslaves, at least.

And the book fucking well rocks the house in. All about freedom. I love pre-stonewall gays. They're hard like me, having been raised atheist in a nondenominational theocracy.
