Reviews
"[Volk is] a political, psychological and philosophical allegory of remarkable depth and ambition: the most intellectually provocative horror novel of the twenty-first century." --Alex Good, The Toronto Star "Volk is technically and intellectually very ambitious, and it succeeds on almost every level, including as good, intelligent entertainment." -- See The Elephant Magazine "David Nickle's stories are sui generis in presentation, veering from the discombobulating nightmare that is 'Basements' to the squid-laden eco-satire 'Wylde's Kingdom' to the sci-fi love of 'Loves Means Forever.' When it comes to this book, only two things are certain; the stories never travel where you expect, and David Nickle is a monumental talent. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Believe the hype: David Nickle is very good." -- The Globe and Mail "David Nickle is my favorite kind of writer. His stories are dark, wildly imaginative, and deeply compassionate--even when they're laced with righteous anger. He's at the top of his game in this new book of short stories, and that's about as good as it gets." --Nathan Ballingrud, author of North American Lake Monsters, "It's a nailbiter of an action novel that is spooky as hell, a critical and sharp demolition of Lovecraft's own romanticization of eugenics, a notion that Nickle demolishes with Lovecraft's own tools--very satisfying indeed." --Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing.net "[Volk is] a political, psychological and philosophical allegory of remarkable depth and ambition: the most intellectually provocative horror novel of the twenty-first century." --Alex Good, The Toronto Star "Volk is technically and intellectually very ambitious, and it succeeds on almost every level, including as good, intelligent entertainment." -- See The Elephant Magazine "David Nickle's stories are sui generis in presentation, veering from the discombobulating nightmare that is 'Basements' to the squid-laden eco-satire 'Wylde's Kingdom' to the sci-fi love of 'Loves Means Forever.'

He covers a vast literary cross-section, but does so free of clutter. While this work is certainly a political treatise against oppressive entities and their dreadful acts, Nickle never loses sight of the dark poetry inherent in the genre, nor does he overlook simply spinning a good yarn. For all the expanded scope and complexity of ideas and story structure, Volk remains accessible."-- Cemetery Dance "It's a nailbiter of an action novel that is spooky as hell, a critical and sharp demolition of Lovecraft's own romanticization of eugenics, a notion that Nickle demolishes with Lovecraft's own tools--very satisfying indeed."--Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing.net"[Volk is] a political, psychological and philosophical allegory of remarkable depth and ambition: the most intellectually provocative horror novel of the twenty-first century."--Alex Good, The Toronto Star "Volk is technically and intellectually very ambitious, and it succeeds on almost every level, including as good, intelligent entertainment."-- See The Elephant Magazine "David Nickle's stories are sui generis in presentation, veering from the discombobulating nightmare that is 'Basements' to the squid-laden eco-satire 'Wylde's Kingdom' to the sci-fi love of 'Loves Means Forever.'

Synopsis
At the dawn of the 20th century, in the Idaho logging town of Eliada, orphaned farm-boy Jason Thistledown and black physician Andrew Waggoner came face to face with monsters: the human sort, in the form of American eugenicists seeking to perfect the human race through breeding and culls; and the inhuman, a parasitic species named Juke, that lived off the hopes, dreams, and faith of humanity, even as it consumed it from within.THE YEAR IS 1931... In a remote valley in the Bavarian Alps, the Germanic students of those eugenicists seek to uncover and the secret of the Juke and the promise of the Übermensch. In Paris, Dr. Andrew Waggoner enters his third decade of his own attempts to unravel the mystery of the elusive organism. Jason Thistledown, now a veteran pilot of World War I, gets ready to embark on a new career flying mail and passengers in North Africa and, he hopes, forget the diverse and profound horrors that have shaped him.Soon, they will all have to reckon with one other: a terrible synthesis of those horrors, which moves among humanity with an inexorable and terrible purpose-obliterating and reshaping that humanity until there is only one thing left:Die volks., At the dawn of the twentieth century in the Idaho logging town of Eliada, orphaned farm boy Jason Thistledown and black physician Andrew Waggoner came face to face with monsters: the human sort, in the form of American eugenicists seeking to perfect the human race through breeding and culls; and the inhuman, a parasitic species named Juke, that lived off the hopes, dreams, and faith of humanity, even as it consumed it from within. The year is 1931 . . . In a remote valley in the Bavarian Alps, the Germanic students of those eugenicists conspire with Adolph Hitler's Nazi Party to uncover the secret of the Juke and the promise of the Übermensch. In Paris, Dr. Andrew Waggoner enters his third decade of unravelling the mystery of the elusive organism. Jason Thistledown, now a veteran pilot of World War I, gets ready to embark on a new career flying mail and passengers in North Africa and, he hopes, forget the profound horrors that have shaped him. Soon, they will all have to reckon with one other: a terrible synthesis of those horrors, which moves among humanity with an inexorable and terrible purpose--obliterating and reshaping that humanity until there is only one thing left: Die volks. David Nickle is a Toronto-based author and journalist whose fiction has appeared in magazines and anthologies like Cemetery Dance, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror , the Northern Frights series, and the Queer Fear series. Some of it has been collected in his book of stories, Monstrous Affections . His first solo novel, Eutopia: A Novel of Terrible Optimism , led the National Post to call him "a worthy heir to the mantle of Stephen King." His most recent novel, Rasputin's Bastards , was called supernatural eeriness at its best. He also works as a reporter, covering Toronto municipal politics for a chain of community newspapers., Volk follows David Nickle's novel Eutopia, carrying the story and characters from from rural turn-of-the-century America to Nazi Germany., At the dawn of the twentieth century in the Idaho logging town of Eliada, orphaned farm boy Jason Thistledown and black physician Andrew Waggoner came face to face with monsters: the human sort, in the form of American eugenicists seeking to perfect the human race through breeding and culls; and the inhuman, a parasitic species named Juke, that lived off the hopes, dreams, and faith of humanity, even as it consumed it from within.

- v***v (2077)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
