Don't do this. The Adversary Cycle has some nifty ideas wrapped in a blanket of crappy writing. With Repairman Jack, the blanket is infested with small pox and is made of asbestos. Wilson writes Repairman Jack as some libertarian ubermensch with all of the secondary characters being hilarious racist stereotypes. It gets incredibly grating.

JerryLee posted:I'm starting to feel like it would be a pretty lovely apocalypse that needs books like these to put it in context. You don't need the other books to put it into context since it's, like you said, supermarket supernatural. The best parts of the apocalypse are in the beginning of the story. The sun keeps setting earlier and earlier, the moon is suddenly showing it's dark side, random holes are opening with monstrous insects pouring forth. Eventually the sun doesn't rise at all. At that point, the main 'plot' takes over and the book goes to complete poo poo I put the end of the world behind spoilers just in case you felt like torturing yourself by reading NightWorld Vertigus posted:Alan Moore is loving crazy and half of Neonomicon was about an Elder One raping one of the characters repeatedly. It was a Deep One. And for anyone that's curious, the victim manages to convince the Deep One to help her escape by giving it a handjob.
