Straw House, Wood House, Brick House, Blow: Four Novellas by Daniel Nayeri
Straw House, Wood House, Brick House, Blow: Four Novellas by Daniel Nayeri | Daniel Nayeri
3 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
Written entirely on an iPhone, this quartet of YA novellas by Another Pan and Another Faust author Daniel Nayeri showcases four different genres. This bold collection of novellas by Another series author Daniel Nayeri features four riveting tales. These modern riffs on classic genres will introduce young adult readers to a broad range of writing styles that explore universally compelling themes such as identity and belonging, betrayal and friendship, love and mortality. Straw House: A Western sizzling with suspense, set in a land where a rancher grows soulless humans and a farmer grows living toys. Wood House: This science-fiction tale plunges the reader into a future where reality and technology blend imperceptibly, and a teenage girl must race to save the world from a nano-revolution that a corporation calls "ReCreation Day." Brick House: This detective story set in modern NYC features a squad of "wish police" and a team of unlikely detectives. Blow: A comedic love story told by none other than Death himself, portrayed here as a handsome and charismatic hero who may steal your heart in more ways than one. With humor, suspense, and relatable prose, this hip and cutting-edge collection dazzles.

Tomorrow my #bookbuyingban returns so I decided to end April in a blaze of #bookhaul glory.

A few that were on my radar (Tigerman, Sea Change, California Bones) and a few surprises (novelization of Terry Gilliam's Baron Munchausen, a Tim Powers book I hadn't heard of, and the tagged book which sounds INSANE).

Plus Criterion blu-rays of Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story and Kubrick's The Killing. All from Edward McKay's Used Books & More.

rabbitprincess Yay, Tigerman! I bought it for my brother so I could borrow it from him afterward 😁 8y
Zelma Yes, that certainly does sound insane. 🤔 8y
