Modern Heathen

Read about it here and here. Isn't that blue glass luverly?

I was deleting spam out of my Inbox when I saw the following title: "hailstorm loki"

I have to admit, the title DID get me to open the message, even though I could tell by looking at it that it was clearly spam.

Of course, it was just the usual garbage about "muti-orghasmic" and "Get stipff as a roxck!".

Dunno what I was expecting, "hang it like Thor's Hammer!" ?

I can't decide whether this book looks intriguing or completely wack.

"Based on the first part of the 13th-century Icelandic Volsunga saga, this searing novel...combines a gory and incestuous revenge story with a futuristic premise that recalls The Island of Doctor Moreau."

"Two warring human gangs have dominated the city for years, and now attempt to unite by marrying 14-year-old Signy to "King" Conor of the opposing crew. Treachery ensues, and innocent Signy soon becomes a vengeful deceiver:"

A mix of the Saga of the Volsungs and the Island of Doctor Moreau? I give the author a lot of credit for imagination. Not so sure about his sanity though.
