Book Review: ‘Killer on the Road’ by Stephen Graham Jones
I picked up Stephen Graham Jones’s ‘Killer on the Road’ because I’d heard good things about him.
Also, the cover gave off eighties vibes, and I’m a sucker for that kind of thing.
Jones’s novella opens with a prologue. A trucker attacks a hitchhiker and eats a part of him, all while talking about a man who can take others’ forms. Yes, it’s grim and gory. From there, we enter the story proper, following Harper, a teenager who’s running away from home. She catches up with her friends, and they begin a road trip together, with her little sister tagging along.
You can guess who they eventually run into.
I almost suggested this to my book club group, and I’m so glad I didn’t. Not because it’s bad, but because it’s gory as hell. It’s certainly not the sort of thing I’d recommend to non-horror aficionados.
The story takes place in one night, and you can feel that frantic energy as the hours tick by. The novella’s length works in its favour; there is little breathing room, and the deaths hit hard and fast. It’s an adrenaline shot of a story that I could envision: Jones has a cinematic way of telling a story.
On the flip side, the length also hurts the story. Some of the characters’ reactions to what happens fall a little flat. I know they’re teenagers and still lack fully developed prefrontal cortices. But still, I’d expect more freaking out and panicking than the calmness Jones presents us with. Something about it didn’t read true to me. I know that by avoiding emotional meltdowns, Jones kept up the pace. But the protagonists often feel psychopathic in their detachment.
The villain himself was quite cool. Eating human parts to become a copycat, trying to fit in with the rest of the world. Storing jars of eyes and fingers along the highway. It was all rather unsettling. I liked the idea behind it all, even if the ending felt rushed and anticlimactic.
Even so, I’m curious to check out Jones’s other works, particularly his full novels. ‘The Only Good Indians’ and ‘The Buffalo Hunter’ kind of call to me, so I’ll pick those up in the future.
If you want something that feels like a gory eighties B-movie, ‘Killer on the Road’ takes a bloody good stab at it.
★★★☆☆

Blank Generation: Downtown New York 1970s–80s
Michael Lowe Gallery with Alternate Projects
Extended hours Friday, November 1 and Saturday November 2, noon to 4pm.
Michael Lowe Gallery
905 Vine St.
Cincinnati, OHBlank Generation presents a panoramic visual survey of the tectonically shifting arts culture of the 1970s–80s in downtown New York City, and the raw and dynamic new ideas in music, film, art, literature, graffiti, fashion, queer culture, and performance that it spawned. The bleak and bankrupt NYC of Travis Bickle and Ratso Rizzo felt like a city teetering on the verge of collapse, but in the dive bars, abandoned buildings, and squats of the grimiest neighborhoods, a cultural renaissance was taking place.
The iconoclastic writers, musicians, scenesters, performers, outsiders, and other creators whose life and work energized this underground world had a profound and continuing impact on mainstream global culture. The exhibition features photography, film, and photo-based work by influential artists living and creating in that petri dish of inspiration, as well as documentary photography and ephemeral material including posters, fliers, and publications.
The diverse New York underground community was populated by people who needed to create—for whom ideas, authenticity, and innovation were far more important than aesthetics or commercial success. Hence the works in Blank Generation are layered, delving into significant and often uncomfortable social issues, new ways of communication, and cultural touchpoints. In many cases, the image is not the end game, but rather a means to visually communicate an often-complex underlying story or idea.
In conjunction with Blank Generation, Alternate Projects presents a pop-up shop featuring a curated selection of rare artist publications, ephemera, artwork, and photographs.
Artists: Charlie Ahearn, Roberta Bayley, Jimmy DeSana, Darrel Ellis, Barbara Ess, Allen Frame, Godlis, Nan Goldin, Bob Gruen, Richard Hambleton, Keith Haring, Peter Hujar, Richard Kern, Marcus Leatherdale, Judy Linn, Robert Mapplethorpe, Ari Marcopoulos, Gordon Matta-Clark, Peter Moore, Mark Morrisroe, Jamie Nares, Franc Palaia, Steven Parrino, Jack Pierson, Ricky Powell, Mick Rock, Tabboo!, Gail Thacker, Alan Vega, John Waters, David Wojnarowicz, Russell Young
Curator: George Kurz, Independent Curator; and Michael Lowe, Founder of Michael Lowe Galleryhttps://slowforward.net/2024/10/30/blank-generation-n-y-1970s-80s/

CW: Looking for the name of a construction toy from my youth
Spent some time trying to find the name of some #constructionToys from the #80s or #90s that I used to play with in my #youth.
I can't quite remember the design of the bricks, so I drew four designs that I could imagine. Not sure if there was a single type of brick, or if there were two different ones that were meant to be used together.
You could lock these together to form various geometric shapes or weird structures. Either by locking the sides together, or by inserting one or two into the middle of another.
I was first reminded of these by seeing 'Plus-Plus' in a #toy shop here in Norway, but those aren't quite the same as the ones I remember growing up in the #Netherlands. #PlusPlus is rectangular, while the ones from my #childhood are square-shaped instead, and had a plus-shaped hole in the middle.
I had sort of forgotten about them again after the last time I looked for their name, but since I dreamt about them last night, I figured I'd #AskTheFediverse this time. :)
