Ray Garton. LOT LIZARDS.

Shingletown, CA: Mark Ziesing, 1991.

1st trade edition.188 pp.

The book not only makes you sense that you're in the pages with the characters, it makes you smell, taste and live the lives of each one of them. The setting changes are so subtle, yet so dramatic. Garton moves in with his storytelling using a very cinematic approach, and finds great success in it. He has some experiences in the field of movie novelization and that clearly takes things through and fires up his characterization. The book does read like a movie. In fact, if someone ever reads it to you out loud and you just listen to the words spoken, you feel that you are truly watching a movie with your eyes closed. Even the ending is very much cinematic, relying on the same gimmick of "what then?" and "where now?" Which in fact is not as bad as one might think it is.

The style is astounding. Not for a minute do you feel bored or the need to let the book down. It would seem that the book itself is like a vampire sucking away your essence as you continue with each page.

Condition: ABSOLUTELY MINT, in protective plastic jacket. Pictorial endpapers.
