Social norms preclude him from participating in rituals such as marriage or mourning for the dead. In terms of the social aspect, the protagonist is excluded from the society in which he lives. This rejection prompts him to work out his own individual religiousness in which contact with God does not require any rituals. He rejects Catholic dogmatics and rituals because he finds no place for them alongside his homosexuality. Tondelli probably did die from HIV-related illness.

And, to be honest, I’m glad I started with this particular Dark-Hunter book, because it was SO GOOD. I was warned it would destroy my emotions.įirst off, even though Acheron is part of a series, it reads like a standalone. However, when my friend Kenna of Fan Girl Gang wrote a blog post about Sherrilyn Kenyon and her stories, I thought, “Okay, Sarah, time to take a chance on this series.” I enjoyed Infinity, the first book in Kenyon’s Chronicles of Nick series (that sort of crosses over with the Dark-Hunter series) and I owned a copy of Acheron because I took a liking to the character after being introduced to him in Infinity.īut, paranormal romance tends to have a lot of…well, romance, and that’s not really my cup of tea. So, when my friends kept recommending Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunter series to me, I was a little hesitant to pick it up. I’ll admit that I’m STILL in this mindset. I chalk this up to my pretentious English major mindset and seeing the genre as beneath me (plus, I really just wanted to expand my horizons and read things that didn’t have to do with vampires and werewolves). But, I’ll admit that I haven’t touched much (if any) paranormal romance since then. Hamilton’s Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series).

He's also an accomplished writer, filmmaker, and inventor. The poem he wrote would eventually be used as the lyrics for Peter, Paul and Mary's hit song.Ĭo-writing one of the most beloved folk songs of the '60s isn't Lipton's only claim to fame. Perhaps this video from Great Big Story will finally put those rumors to bed.Īccording to the song's lyricist Lenny Lipton, the idea was inspired by Ogden Nash's children's poem " The Tale of Custard the Dragon." The same day he read the poem, Lipton went over to a friend's house and felt compelled to sit down in front of their typewriter and start writing. A song about the adventures of a magical dragon sounds innocent enough, but like many songs written in the '60s, "Puff the Magic Dragon" is regarded by many as a metaphor for drug use. ![]() |
