The Creeping Terror

Like most Melody Jackson books, The Creeping Terror opens with a dream...

The floor creaked beneath her feet.  The house was completely dark except for the glowing eyes of her
companion.  

“Um, what was your name again,” Melody asked the eyes.

“Fudge,” the eyes said.  “Silly.”

“Hrrmm.  What kind of name is Fudge?”

“Come on.  We don't want to keep them waiting.”

Melody was deeply concerned by this.  “Keep who waiting?”  She didn't want to follow these
glowing eyes anywhere, but she couldn't seem to stop herself.

“They're just in here,” said Fudge, and its glowing eyes began to blink, followed by a whoosh of
air.

Melody at once recognized the effect of the swinging doors leading to her own kitchen.  She felt
her way forward and found the wood hard against her fingertips. It gave easily under slight
pressure.

“Don't go in,” she told herself.  But it was no use. Her body and her brain seemed to be
disconnected at the moment.  She pushed open the door, and found herself surrounded by millions
of tiny glowing eyes.  They sparkled in the darkness like stars in twilight, baby Fudges dropping
down from the ceiling on tiny, invisible strands.

“NO,” she screamed.  “I don't want to be here.”

“It's too late,” Fudge told her.  “You're already here.”

Melody felt herself scream.  She couldn't stop, like some pervasive force had grabbed her
about the throat and pried open her jaw.  

“No!  Stop it,” she cried, for into her open mouth dropped scores of baby Fudges with little care
for their own safety.

Quick review of: The Show That Never Ends: The Rise and Fall of Prog Rock

The Show That Never Ends: The Rise and Fall of Prog Rock 
by David Weigel 

B.M.B. Johnson's review 

Oct 05, 2017  ·  edit

really liked it

The Show that never ends, the name based on a the lyrics of a ELP song (that is, Emerson, Lake and Palmer for those not in the know), was good for introducing Progressive Rock bands to an ear whom had never once heard of them. However, I found that the author was a tad too King Crimson-centric for my tastes. Also, he tended to skip around too much, sometimes to the point of confusion.

Something's coming....!

it was amazing

Outside my usual genres. I love mysteries and young adult fiction but don't usually go anywhere near ghost stories. That being said, curiosity won out and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this story. The dialogue was ridiculously funny at times and the characters strong. Glad I tried it. Reminded me of how painful it was to be a 12-year-old! Very unique story and good groundwork for the series.

Quick Review of Isaac Asimov's "Foundation"

Foundation (Foundation #1) 
by Isaac Asimov 

Aug 14, 2017  ·  edit

it was amazing

Asimov proves his genius in both scientific inventiveness and political intrigue. There are so many twists and turns in this little book that one would need to chop down a forest to get enough sticks to shake at them.

The far-reachingness of psychohistory in concept will be one of his legacies in literature, and yet one can't help but think that maybe this is the truth behind prophecy itself.

it was amazing

Another fun and funny episode in the Lafayette Street escapades. This one starts with Melody experiencing a warning dream. The family interaction in this series is simply hysterical. It took me a while in the first book to catch onto Melody's character (at first I thought she was a bit snarky and rude) but now that I have her deciphered, I practically laugh out loud at her unique quirkiness. I LOVE her parents and the way they engage and accept her. This creative little 12-year-old is irritated by 'hand quotes,' certain sounds and corny jokes, and she is prone to go off into her imagination writing her present as if she is seeing scenes being narrated in the movie of her life. Yes, she is a little OCD!

This book is well written and can stand alone but really builds on the first. Some questions are left to play into the next book but it's a rather pleasant sort of cliffhanger. Let me just say that overall I'm 'gobsmacked...' because I think Melody would like my using that word.

This is the 2nd book of Season One of "It Happened on Lafayette Street" series.

it was amazing

I think this is a great book for young adults and adults. Readers meet Melody Jackson, a girl of twelve with a highly over active imagination that sometimes is also spot on. When Melody sees a mysterious woman in white the adventure begins. Melody's parents, Lonnie and Bernie, join in the adventure as do a couple of paranormal investigators as the mystery unfolds. The author did a great job in a story that will satisfy a lot of readers.

I am all for scorpions being otherwise subdued by robots (or for that matter by anyone other than me) for absolutely any reason on Earth.

I'm not sure why you're so concerned about scorpion milking machines anyway. Troll milking machines, now there we have something.

Melody Jackson: Quote of the Day

“I'm going to let that slide because you seemed to have been in the middle of being eaten by a monster.” He was clutching his midsection as if from pain, the squashed remnants of a soft brown cookie squeezing between his fingers as though dough from a pasta machine.”
