J.C. Hutchins is, quite simply, too good for the mid-list.
Buy the book.
Own the book? Buy another copy. FOR EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
I am angrier than ever than I didn’t get my Summer semester student loan money. All those copies of this awesome book that will go unbought and ungifted (whoa, dude, I just paraphrased a Sylvia Plath poem). Curse you Intermediate Algebra!!
Even aside from the excellent out-of-book experience, the book itself is great! The story is gripping, almost impossible to put down. Anyone who likes horror/thrillers will love it. I am so glad I bought a copy.
I’ve been posting this on the “comments” section for Personal Effects: Dark Art on the booksellers’ websites.
Great story and excellent “out-of-book” experience! This is much more than just a book. The author offers loads of additional content on his website (www.jchutchins.net) where he personally addresses and interacts with the readers. Personal Effects: Dark Art is one part story, one part interactive game, and one part community. Anyone who likes thriller, horror, or mystery novels will love Personal Effects: Dark Art. I am so glad I bought a copy and think that you will be too.
I’ve actually shown the book to my colleagues in my office. And it has something magic in it – they want to order the book now (and perhaps they did already), even if it’s in English.
So the book is also reading in Germany right now.
