Cult novel, Carla is an introspective, moody and chilling romance
novel with its roots firmly grounded in the work of the great pulp
writers of the fifties, particularly Jim Thompson, to whom the book
is dedicated. It is a book for adults and for those who have lived
through the occasionally bloody battlefields that are the
relationships between men and women. The book may also interest
those in mixed age relationships (in either role) or those who
suffer (or is related to someone who suffers from) Borderline
Personality Disorder. Paperback: The paperback in particular is
striking looking and with Kindle Match, you can get a FREE e-copy
so you never have to bend the cover. It is perfect for coffee
tables and bookshelves, with a glorious looking spine. The typeface
is an easy reading font and there is plenty of clear cream space.
It's an easy, fast paced page turner which doesn't overstay its
welcome and leaves, according to reviewers, a lasting imprint on
the consciousness. So far, the book has gained 17 5* reviews and a
cult following. Comments from people who have read the book appear
all over the Net. EVERY single review of Carla, whether the reader
likes the theme or not, has commented on the quality of the
writing. This second edition has been even further improved by
micro-editing and the book raises the Indie standard further. The
Carla paperback is an ideal present. Small, compact and able to fit
in a clasp bag, it is ideal for Secret Santa, beach holidays, air
travel and christmas/birthday gifts. It is also cheap enough to buy
as a spontaneous present for someone you like. (Or love). It is
suitable for men and women who enjoy good writing and a book which
involves the senses. Buy if you like: strong writing, emotion,
psychology, pulp fiction with amoral, ambivalent characters;
reality fiction; quirky, innovative books; sad romance; black
humour and stories within stories. It is set in the beautiful
middle English town of Southwell, UK, and interested readers can
follow the trail of John and Carla to the footstep. Back matter:
Borderline Personality Disorder sufferer and released mental
patient, John Dexter, falls in love with Carla, a fresh- faced
environmental student and part-time barmaid, the first time he sees
her. He should walk away, he knows he should, but he doesn't. He
can't. And by falling in love, he sets off a chain of events, which
are at first, heart-warming and inspirational, and then bleak and
horrifying. The origins of Carla, complete with the original cover,
may be found here: http:
