Odd Adventures with Your Other Father | Norman Prentiss

1 post | 1 read | 3 to read

Because one of her fathers died when she was very young, much of Celia's family knowledge comes from stories her surviving father narrates - road-trip adventures from the mid-80s that explore homophobia in a supernatural context. As she considers these adventures (a rescue mission aided by ghostly hallucinations; a secluded town of strangely shaped inhabitants; a movie star with a monstrous secret), Celia uncovers startling new truths about her family's past. "Beautifully un-categorizable but wholly delightful, Odd Adventures With Your Other Father is a heady mix of the surreal, the poignant, the scary, and the heartwarming. A gleeful mash-up of genres, highly recommended!" -Peter Atkins, author of Morningstar and Big Thunder, screenwriter of Hellraiser II and III, creator of Wishmaster "Strange, darkly comic, wonderful book of two fathers and one daughter and just how weird and bright the world can be in the shadows of life." -Douglas Clegg, New York Times bestselling author

Odd Adventures with Your Other Father | Norman Prentiss

pick

This is own voices, queer, horror lite. Shawn tells his daughter, Celia, stories about her other father, Jack, who died when she was 4. All the stories take place during a road trip they took together the year after they graduated from college in ‘85. The stories all have a supernatural slant. They explore homophobia and the challenges and workings of relationships. It made me feel so it gets a pick, but I think it could have been a better book.
