Robert R. McCammon
A novella and 12 stories from a master of supernatural horror.
Father John has lived his whole life without knowing a woman's touch. Hard at first, his self-denial grew easier over time, as he learned to master his urges with a regimen of prayer, cold showers, and jigsaw puzzles. That changes the day that Debra Rocks enters his confessional. A rough-talking adult film actress, she has come to ask him to pray for a murdered costar. Her cinnamon perfume infects Father John, and after she departs he becomes obsessed. Around the corner from his church is a neon-lit alley of sin. He goes there hoping to save her life before he damns himself.
That is Blue World, the novella that anchors this collection of chilling stories by Robert R. McCammon. Although monsters, demons, and murderers fill this audio, in McCammon's world the most terrifying landscape of all is the barren wasteland of a lost man's soul.
©1990, 2015 The McCammon Corporation (P)2015 Audible, Inc.King writes tight, gripping situations. McCammon does that too — but he also writes characters you actually care about. Even the broken ones, even the unsympathetic ones. He puts enough humanity in them that you feel it when things go wrong. King's gut punch is sharp. McCammon's stays with you.
The novella Blue World is the standout. Debbie Stoner is one of the most compelling female characters I've encountered in fiction in years — fully realized, complicated, impossible not to care about. The relationship between her and Father John is quietly devastating. The ending is bittersweet and earns every emotion it asks of you. It hasn't left me since.
The rest of the collection is solid across the board — Nightcrawlers, Pin, Yellachile's Cage, Yellowjacket Summer, Night Calls the Green Falcon, Chico, Something Passed By, Children of the Bedtime Machine. No weak entries.
The audiobook is genuinely better than reading it. Both narrators capture the atmosphere, the settings, and the character voices with real precision — they don't just read the words, they inhabit them. The Blue World novella on audio is something else entirely. I'll be listening to it again.
Five stars for the collection. The novella gets its own rating — and it's higher.
