And, by the end of the work, they are still self-destructive, only varying in the degrees they are damaging themselves. Case and the rest of the crew in Neuromancer are damaged, self-destructive people. The really interesting contrast for me is the characters. You should still read Neuromancer, of course. However, there’s only one shared character and you could honestly read Count Zero as a stand alone work. It is definitely shares a setting with Neuromancer and the events of Neuromancer clearly shape what’s going on in Count Zero. However, it is a study of contrasts with Neuromancer. As a stand alone work, it is really good. I find myself constantly looking at Count Zero either as a stand-alone work or comparing it to Neuromancer. All three of the characters are caught in the plans of a guy who is so rich he’s ceased to really be human and the works of what are Voodoo loa, the fractured pieces of an AI or both. It’s a good book so I don’t want to spoil it too much. ![]() Yes, of course, their stories are interconnected but they are still their own thing. We have Bobby, a wannabe hacker Turner, a corporate mercenary and Marly, an art expert.

This book follows the same template, as “Donald MacIvers” is not only the name of the author but also the name of the character who narrates the book – the idea being that this is his own story, in his own words, of his escape from the Manson “cult of killers.” Unfortunately the spine of the paperback ruins the conceit, as it’s labelled “Fiction!” Stories that were written in first person, purportedly by escaped victims of the cults. I also put it off because I suspected this would be another of those Leisure winners where the back cover copy had nothing to do with the novel itself…and it turns out I was correct.Īt any rate, The Cult Of Killers (the title page doesn’t have a “The,” by the way) is like a sweat mag yarn taken to novel length, and by that I mean the latter-era men’s mags, the ones from the early ‘70s that featured sleazy yarns about killer hippies and Satanic cults. I luckily managed to get a copy several years ago, but am only just now getting around to it – I’m not often in the mood for Manson-themed books, as I’ve never been much interested in the guy. This lurid Charles Manson cash-in has become scarce over the years, probably because Justin Marriott spotlighted it The Sleazy Reader #8. ![]() ![]() LOST IN THE SHADOWS: THE STORY OF THE LOST BOYS sinks its teeth into the complete history of Joel Schumacher’s 1987 cult classic vampire hit, the game changing THE LOST BOYS.
