Pictures of The Damned
hello, fellow cellar-dwellers... at long last, photos of my debut novel have surfaced... soon the book will be shipping to the folks who took a chance on me...I'm pretty Damned excited about it:
This book arrived in my mailbox yesterday. I was so excited when I had the box in my hand. I grabbed a box cutter and opened up the box to find a beautiful bubble wrapped book. I took the bubble wrap off and thought WOW this is stunning. I am not a collector of books but this one seriously made me think I should become one. The cover was wonderful and the red on the top was pretty damn cool.
Then I opened it only to see my name That kind of upped it for me considering that I have never had a book with my name inscribed in it.
So thank you so very much for my new treasure!!! And that is how I will treat it too.
(now to start reading as soon as I finish the other book in my hand.)
If you read the review Hellolost posted it gives you a pretty good idea of what The Damned is about. Essentially, it’s a post apocalyptic story dealing with what just might be something called “The Rapture” that has been foretold in the bible. In case you are unfamiliar with it, The Rapture is when God decides he’s had enough of the evil in the world and takes all of the good people straight to heaven. This leaves behind the evil people who after struggling through "The Rapture" will receive 7 years of prosperity that in the end will be revealed to be a sham perpetrated by the Devil.
In The Damned, "The Rapture" starts after an old guy takes over all of the various media outlets in the world and announces that the end times are here, after which, it seems a whole bunch of people simply vanish. Cars going down the street roll to a stop, customers disappear from stores, nurses and doctors are gone from the hospitals, and all the children wind up missing. Then the clouds above turn black, lightening bolts come down from the sky, fire pours down from the heavens, and after a short while all it does is rain ash. Those that are left are forced to struggle in a world without power and fresh food. On top of that, prisoners are running amuck practicing cannibalism, torture, and raping any women they come across.
The hero of the story, Scott, was basically a nice guy until just before The Rapture when he got pissed at some guy he thought caused a huge accident on the highway, and he beat the crap out of him. Turns out he had the wrong guy. The wrong guy, after getting beat up for no reason, got a little pissed himself and shot Scott in the head. Which put Scott in a coma who woke up after The Rapture.
From here on, we follow along with Scott as he tries to survive and avoid a group of prisoners on the powl. These prisoners are not nice people as they enjoy roasting women over spits and eating them for one thing. They are also organized and are attempting to form an army.
The Damned is full of kinky sexual situations and bloody violence. For a first novel, Mr. Ollie has done one heck of a job entertaining his readers. For those who are reading this months Leisure offerings, The Damned would fit in very nicely between Lee’s book The Golem, and Ray Garton’s book, it’s that good.
Have you read this yet? If not run fast and grab a copy because you are missing a great story.
Growing up my grandmother used to tell me about the rapture. The mass disappearance of millions of people. Millions of only the good people who believed in God. It made for a lot of thoughts on what life would be like if you were left behind. Then I read the series Left Behind and was kind of horrified and fascinated.
Then along comes The Damned by William Ollie.
Imagine this…. You are a good person who has one hell of a bad day. That one day you snap a bit and show a little rage. You end up left behind. Left behind in a world that is going to hell. Rogue people doing whatever the hell they want to. No order only chaos. People running rampant killing, raping and doing anything they damn well please. Imagine trying to live in a world that would rather kill you. Would you hide? Join a gang? Lord help you if you are female. What would you do to survive? Welcome to the world of The Damned.
This story will grab you by the throat and hold you down. It is that well written.
Well? What are you waiting for? Go find yourself a copy!
