JOSHUA JOHNSON’S IMPRESSIVE DEBUT NOVEL

- David West

THE FOREVER SEA

Author Joshua Johnson

Publisher Titan Books

It’s tempting to imagine that the rolling prairies of his Minnesota home lit the fuse for Joshua Johnson’s impressive debut novel.

His heroine, Kindred, lives in a world covered by the Forever Sea, a plain of grassland extending both away to the horizon and down into the dark depths, where monsters lurk and from which no one has ever returned.

The ships sailing over the grassy seas are kept afloat by magical hearth fires and Kindred works as a keeper, responsible for managing the vital flames. But she finds herself drawn to the mysteries of what lies beneath the surface after hearing that her beloved grandmother, a famous ship captain, walked off into the sea, never to be seen again.

ALTERED STATES

Essentially Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde if it'd been written by Carlos Castenada, Ken Russell's characteristically unrestrained take on a script by Network's Paddy Chayefsky is a bracing mix of acid trip visuals and hoary old tropes.
