The pain is integral here, as well as the extent to which the amputation disables you in your everyday task.

It was full of stacks of calendars, each month featuring a woman in a various states of undress, smiling furiously.It's not a horror novel in the traditional sense (you'll find no ghost, vampires, zombies or werewolves here) but it is filled with monsters and terrifying ones at that. The story follows Kline, a maimed detective kidnapped by a cult that believes amputations bring people closer to God. This is not a cheap addition to cash in on the success; although Brotherhood of Mutiliation can work on its own only together with its counterpart it achieves the full effect. Pudiera parecer una mala traducción , salvo alguna errata puntual, pero está escrita así con toda la intención.

I am also a huge movie buff and my other interests include listening to music, spending time with my dog Drax, reading, and blogging. No sé si achacarlo a la historia en sí o a la traducción (de hecho hay múltiples erratas, sin ir más lejos en el primer párrafo de la página 224 el nombre del prota aparece dos veces en dos líneas, en una de ellas está mal escrito viéndose Klein en lugar de Kline, y frases mal expresadas), además la narración me ha parecido fría, mecánica y con un final atropellado, brusco y cíclico. When the tale begins, Kline is minus a hand courtesy of a gentleman with a meat cleaver on his last undercover job. It is also interesting to note that the author was brought up Mormon and forced to leave the church because of the things he was writing.But, “Almost immediately after the initial publication, Evenson wanted to continue the story, but he knew it needed to hold its own against The Brotherhood. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. Last Days was first published in 2003 as a limited edition novella titled The Brotherhood of Mutilation. It is a temptation to discuss it in detail, as it proves more complexity that its slim lenght might suggest; it contains imagery which is graphic, visceral and disturbing.

Brian Evenson was raised as a Mormon; he was told by the Mormon Church that he would have to stop writing if he wanted to continue being a Mormon.Definitivamente esa era la intención de Brian Evenson, tal como el propio Peter Straub lo explica en el postfacio, montar una historia con una gran crítica a las religiones y con ese punto cómico y absurdo que a mi no me ha llegado. In Last Days, his latest novel, he manages to do the exact same thing and the resulting book is a completely satisfying, if gruesome and amazingly bloody read.
