The author plays with the aspect of a thousands years old immortal, and starts fine. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? ![]() I've tried other fantasy and mystery novels with little success, I found this book suited my tastes perfectly. If you're into sci-fi and would like to venture out, this book may do the trick. ![]() The story is good and held my interest but what I remember most is thinking about life and how short and fragile it is. ![]() Not extreme but I did laugh out loud a couple of times. I found him easy to listen to though at times I would have inferred different inflection and tone from the text.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Have you listened to any of Steve Carlson’s other performances before? How does this one compare? This book made me ponder the idea of being immortal, seeing civilization come to be, witnessing everyone you've ever know die, and seeing history repeat itself over and over. Not one moment, but throughout the book the comparing and contrasting past to present in ways that made me think. What was one of the most memorable moments of Immortal? This is one of my favorite non sci-fi listens ever. I typically listen to sci-fi and this was a deviation for me. Where does Immortal rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far? Great story that will make you think about life! ![]() ![]()

It required the daimyo to divide their time between their domains and the city of Edo, where they waited upon the Tokugawa shogun. Alternate attendance (sankin kotai) was one of the central institutions of Edo-period (1603–1868) Japan and one of the most unusual examples of a system of enforced elite mobility in world history. ![]() ![]() ![]() He reached up and grasped the doorknob carefully, half-hoping it would be locked. “And that’s the worst of it I don’t know where they came from.” He began to shake and with the trembling came the terror. “What happened?” And then the full horror of it struck him. “My God,” Margo breathed, as she slipped the robe from his shoulders. The marks were swollen and stood out in painful relief from the pale whiteness of his back. Only later did he make the awful discovery: On Peter’s back, from his shoulders to his waist, were angry red welts.

He felt the heat of hell glowing around him and as his discomfort grew he became frightened.… Then he was being drawn downward and he felt angelic hands caress him. His senses sharpened, he felt the searing flame from each candle he heard the voice of the devil calling out to him in his head. ![]() Peter Balsam sank deeper into the trance. ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s much reluctance in his decision as he fears that entering Arkham will be detrimental to his own sanity.īatman’s narrative in many ways echos Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. In the present, Batman enters Arkham Asylum, the home of the criminally insane, after prisoners take hostages. With Arkham Asylum, the pair would take Batman and combine it with the fringe sensibilities of their prior work.Īrkham Asylum is a psychological horror with a dual narratives. Morrison would go on to start their run on Animal Man and Doom Patrol, while McKean would collaborate on projects with, at the time, a mostly unknown Neil Gaiman on Black Orchard and covers for Sandman. Arkham Asylum: A Serious House On Serious Earth cover by Dave McKean. Grant Morrison and Dave McKean were both part of what was dubbed the British Invasion and would go on to work on projects that would operate in the weird fringes of DC Comics’ catalogue. This was spearheaded by legendary editor Karen Berger, and it uncovered creators such as Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Brian Bolland, and Dave Gibbons. In the 1980s, DC Comics were hiring writers and artists from the UK. But that’s that what writer Grant Morisson and artist Dave McKean did in the eerie 1989 Batman graphic novel Arkham Asylum: A Serious House On Serious Earth.
