could say that this week has been somewhat peculiar in the blog, because unlike what is usual, we left parked and reviews we've focused on to present some developments that we found interesting .
fate would have it in a few days, are several works that have been announced publicly, coinciding with the appearance of news, advertising and marketing campaigns.
order not to leave that dynamic and close the week in a coherent way (do not make me play on words, which I know ...), tonight we present the book trailer of "Feral", the latest novel by David Jasso, which will be released in mid May the hand of Sirius Editorial Team.
A novel of horror and science fiction, where the argument puts us in a space colony to be engulfed in the most horrible of nightmares when horror and fear are installed there.
Knowing the author and his work, would put his hand on the fire to ensure that those feelings are what the reader will live in the flesh while reading the novel.
If anything characterizes the work of Jasso, is to achieve wonderful way to create a claustrophobic atmosphere, stifling and tense, they get to immerse the reader in a state of distress similar to their characters.
For that reason and having read the story, this novel will satisfy the most select audience and satisfy our most gloomy aspect and demanding genre readers.
The only downside at the moment and even without reading the book, is the front end of it ... I've said it before and I do not tire of repeating: This cover does not do justice.
matter how good a story (and this is), without a proper presentation, accurate, and that encourages the reader hesitant to take it from the shelf to take a look, you lose the possibility that future reader decides to be with her.
Because let's face it: What is the first thing you look when you are in a library and ye lay out future purchases? The cover, accurate ...
A good cover speaks volumes about the content of the work .. It gets in your eyes and your imagination and sparks. It encourages you want to find out what lies between its pages.
And unfortunately, in this case is not so. The only thing that inspired me this cover is the memory of my teenage years, when these small and simplistic devoured novels by genre called "Nightmares."
is too young, too little serious. Unprofessional, if you prefer so.
As an illustration for a comic or a story, maybe have a go .. But of course, is not the best choice for a novel and less, if the perpetrator is someone of the same with the reputation and prestige of Jasso.
Nobody is offended or curse me. Let no one accuse me of being peevish and tocapelotas. I just limit myself to give my opinion on the matter. In my opinion, is as inappropriate as a picture of Bosco wrapping paper Albal ... Tacky and regrettable.
I'd like to think that before what promises to be the best novel of David Jasso go on sale, someone will realize that the content deserves better "container" and the published version comes out, is consistent with the quality history.
You see, readers Absent ... Another title to add to the list of essential, that every day becomes more and more long.
A greeting.
