![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In this stunning audio book, David Almond revisits Mina before she has met Michael, before she has met Skellig. Why should a book tell a tale in a dull straight lineĪnd so Mina writes and writes in her notebook, and here is her journal, Mina's life in Mina's own words: her stories and dreams, experiences and thoughts, her scribblings and nonsense, poems and songs. I'll let my journal grow just like the mind does, just like a tree or a beast does, just like life does. Then what shall I write I can't just write that this happened then this happened then this happened to boring infinitum. I open the book and write the very first words: My name is Mina and I love the night. It is the prequel to Skellig, and is Minas own story up to the fateful moment when she sticks her head above the back garden wall at Michaels (and at that stage Skelligs) house and says, Are you the. Even by David Almonds standards this is a truly remarkable book. I keep on saying that I'll write a journal. Almond, David My Name is Mina Hodder, 2010, pp300, £12.99 978 5 3.

Adam Ross and Justin Cronin are recent devotees who demonstrate that even elite ‘literary’ writers can benefit (both financially and creatively) when they borrow from King’s bag of tricks. King became a best-selling author thanks to his expert pacing, gift for metaphor, wry sense of humour, and a number of intangible talents. His influence isn’t necessarily a bad one. Based on the malodorous work that turns up in self-publishing, writers’ workshops, and slush piles, I’m not alone in that my first fictional efforts reeked of The King. At 16, finding the idea of short story writing woefully unambitious, my early attempts at novels were thinly-masked Stephen King impersonations. Like many writers my age (31), I probably wouldn’t be one if it weren’t for Stephen King. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Want more of Garden Heights?
