Henry Kissinger’s On China begins with a synopsis of that long history because he believes it is necessary in order to understand the path of Chinese diplomacy in the modern world. The Chinese persisted in perceiving themselves as innately superior to other ethnicities throughout their long history until much of their country was colonized by Europeans and the Japanese in the 19th century.

Standage, a British writer (his previous books include A History of the World in 6 Glasses, The Victorian Internet, and The Turk) who is also the business editor of the Economist, says in his introduction: “Throughout history, food has done more than simply provide sustenance.

This is probably one of the book’s strengths. It was stupid of me to assume that this book wouldn’t be good because the author wasn’t a dedicated horror author. I won’t ruin the story by revealing details, but I will say some of the unfortunate turns are utterly scandalous! Bad stuff happens to everyone who lives in or even enters this place. I did not expect a masterfully written work of psychological terror that was almost impossible to put down.Ī house is built on a plot of land beside a rich couple’s house in Georgia, USA. I thought I was going to read about chains rattling in the night and books flying off shelves of their own accord. I expected a boring attempt at a haunted house story. The title is dull (there are several other novels with the same name), the cover is a picture of a house, and I had read that this novel was the only work of horror that the author ever wrote. Of all the books that Stephen King discusses in his Danse Macabre, Anne Rivers Siddons’ The House Next Door was the one I least wanted to read.

I listened to the audio version of The Dark Room which was narrated by Michael Orienstein. It took me a little bit and a few tries to get into The Dark Room but I am certainly glad that I did not give up on it because it was well worth it in the end! I'm not sure if it was just a slow beginning or if it was just the mood that I was in, but I almost gave up on it and a friend told me to keep on so I'm glad I did! Once I got a few chapters in, the pace of the book/story really picked up and took me on a roller coaster ride with an ending that I totally didn't see coming! The characters were likeable and relatable but what gives this story it's merit is the ending! I have quite a few Lisa Gray books in my TBR list, however, I think this was the first one that I actually read! With an ending like that, my interest is definitely piqued so I look forward to seeing what her other books bring to the table in the near future. |
