Question:

Writers, readers and scholars! Can you recommend an author?

I'd like to read something by an established authoer who has a penchant for writing (well) about events in confined spaces or claustrophobic environments- a plot that does not leave a single room, for instance.

Is there anyone that really fits the bill?

Please view my 360 page (latest blog entry) ro get a feel for what I am trying to get at (The story 'The Last Stand'). I am looking for criticism or feedback so leave a comment or email me!

Thanks!

Hi there David, Viewed your blog. I have to say that, initially, I thought...here we go; but I was so inquisitive! Was pleasantly surprised! Your story is intriguing. I thoroughly enjoyed your evocative use of vocabulary well done, I am impressed. Have you heard of the author Thomas E. Gaddis? He wrote the Birdman of Alcatraz. Your story reminded me so much of it. It may be a source of inspiration for you. Your style also reminds me of Dean Koontz. You may like to read his book entitled Intensity. I read a book once about a man who went on a stag night. The prank played on him was to be buried in a shallow grave for a couple of hours. However, his friends were the only ones to know his whereabouts and they were all killed in a car crash on the way back to the pub. It chronicles the trials he goes through inside the coffin. It was compelling reading! Alas I cant remember the title of the book or author!! If you are interested, I will do some research on this an get back to you.
