I'll admit to seeing Braveheart and Gladiator almost as many times as The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles (I was an eighties teen, so this REALLY means something).
No one appreciates a revenge story better than I do, which is why I fell so hard for Bruce Elgin's Voodootown series. The tales of protection and comeuppance are fantastically satisfying. I've never been a big fan of the occult, but Mr. Elgin and the folks over at Grasshorse Studios have gotten me to walk happily into the underworld. And even though I completely understand that it doesn't quite fit, I'm longing for a mom version. I mean how delicious would it be to have voodoo dolls throttle that horrible person who keeps shooting mothers and children dirty looks on an airplane or at a restaurant? How satiated would you feel reading about that Mean mom at the playground/school/ballet getting her just due?
Satiated? That sounds very vampirish. And I am sick of vampires. They are sooooo over.
This brand new concept in young adult fiction is both unique and engaging. Our teen protagonists, troubled in the usual ways, try to fit in, make friends, and keep away from enemies, all the while shadowed by their stuffed familiars...voodoo dolls with special powers who settle human-world scores by night in the underground world of Voodootown.
The latest episode in the series, Episode 6, "Tattered," is available this week for free download through Amazon. So don't take our word for it, read for yourself.
