Today, Craig Hurd-McKenney talks about how an old soap opera, Dark Shadows, breathed new life, and a new ending, into a relationship long gone. As a side note, I couldn’t back this Kickstarter fast enough. I love me some Dark Shadows.

My Goodreads review: Badlands

BadlandsBadlands by Douglas Preston

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Possibly the most solidly Southwestern of this Preston/Child series so far. Dr. Nora Kelly & her Albuquerque FBI associate Corrie Swanson get pulled into a case which quickly accelerates from a few mysterious deaths in the New Mexico badlands to a full-blown cult investigation near Chaco Canyon. There are Ancestral Puebloan myths, an ancient massacre, potential skinwalkers, academia gone wrong . . . & all with two intelligent, capable female lead characters.

There is also a strong thread of supernatural possibility running through this thriller, which is pretty usual in the Preston/Child Pendergast series but less frequent in this one. I was delighted to find it, & hope future entries in this series continue to go just a touch beyond the mundane.

This book / audio includes an Authors' Note, which does a fine job of sorting out fact & fiction. Being a Southwestern archaeology fan, I wound up with a lot of questions by the end of the novel -- all of which were answered here.
