Bizenghast Volume Five and Novel

[evadne_noel]

So, I know there are Bizenghast fans who read my journal, so I just wanted to mention that volume five came out a few weeks ago. I shamefully admit that I just got my copy a few days ago, so I haven't given it a thorough going-over.

At first glance, I have to say I'm surprised at how slowly the books are coming to their climax. This isn't a bad thing, let me say, especially since book five focuses on Dinah's development following Vincent's death. The book is solid character development, but it doesn't bring the plot much further along, so if you're anxious to find out what's disturbing the Mausoleum, you'll have to wait a little longer. It does have mud wrestling, evil cults and dead fish/mp3 players, however, so that's a plus.

Also recently released was Bizenghast : The Novel, a fine novelization of Bizeghast One by Shawn Thorgersen. Also included at the end is a bonus chapter written by myself, so if you're a fan of Bizenghast and me, please check it out.

I know, worst self-pimping ever. I am totally stoked to see my fake name in print, though.

I've been wanting to buy it, but I haven't had a chance. Artemis Fowl came out, I renewed my paid account (finally), and I recently got addicted to Metal Gear Solid after I found the first three games available for $30, so OF COURSE I had to get MGS4, which was $60. Totally worth it. Partly because the villain is the most MAGNIFICENT Bastard I have EVER seen, and partly because this is the first time I've belonged to a fandom where the creator actively encourages the slash fangirls. I'm serious. While it has it's share of subtext, some of it actually gets beyond that point. :D

(And, for once, I managed to go through the entire series without being spoiled. It's a friggin' Miracola.)

Anyway, back to my point before I started fangirling, I obviously can't comment on it, since I don't have it yet, but that last bit is awesome. Go you!

Thanks! You sound way busy, and anyway, it's not like I'm going anywhere.
