Oliver Twisted
Oliver Twisted | J D Sharpe
4 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
Mash up Charles Dickenss Oliver Twist with a teen horror story and what do you get? Oliver Twisted. FLESH, the woe-begotten moaned at Oliver, baring teeth which were ragged and black. FLESH came another moan, and he turned to see two more behind. They began to shuffle towards him, barefoot. The world according to Oliver Twisted is simple. Vampyres feed on the defenceless, orphans are sacrificed to hungry gods and if a woe-begotten catches your scent it will hunt you forever. On the advice of a corpse, Oliver flees his ghastly orphan life to seek his destiny in the dark streets of old London Town, despite the perils of the woe-begotten zombie-infested journey. There he meets the shadowy Dodger, the evil old soul-stealer Fagin, and the menacing Bill Sikes, who is more beast than man. But will Oliver Twisted be the worlds salvation, or its downfall?! Like your books for teens to be edge-of-your-seat thrillers with a dollop of literary heritage? Oliver Twisted is the young adult horror mash-up for you.

I was hoping this would have more humor and winks at the reader, something like Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. But nope. It's just a straight horror retelling of Oliver Twist. Ho hum.

I ordered a used copy of this book from Better World Books, and it looks like it came from a Welsh library! This delights me. (It is Welsh, yes? Correct me if I‘m wrong, please!)

candority So cool! I googled what is on the barcode and it comes up with a library system in Ireland! Who knows though 🤔☘️🇮🇪 3y
