Product Information

Violent, frightening, textured, and dystopian are words that aptly describe the short-lived world that Barnes has created. Barnes’ writing is beautiful, but sometimes a little too good; the descriptions, both compelling and creepy, occasionally subtract from the story he’s trying to tell: Very highly recommended. King of Nod by Scott Fad is one of those deftly written and epic novels from which award-winning miniseries and lucrative Hollywood films are made.” There was a program sponsored by A&E it was called Mysteries of The Bible nowadays other Exploring T.V. stations do Bible Secrets.

Initially, I thought I had found what I was looking for in the previous two books within this volume. I was desiring to read a thrilling and horrifying tale depicting the eventual breakdown of mind and body, community and society. The first half of this book does a brilliant job in recreating these events, within a limited time-frame that added tension to the piece. I felt the danger that lurked within each individual come increasingly to the surface as sleep continued to evade them. Well, that was disturbing. A sort of dystopia where the end of the world comes about because almost everyone simultaneously stops being able to sleep. Panic, sludgy brains, random violence, societal collapse, and mass psychosis follow rapidly on. This is one of those dystopias so incredibly realistic in concept that it's hard to forget it isn't happening; also, having had a baby that didn't sleep through for 14 months, my idea of pure hell. Sweetpatch Island, South Carolina, 1971. For young Boo Taylor it’s a land of lush salt marshes and sun-soaked beaches, rich in history and folklore—yet steeped in superstition and hiding a terrifying secret. As it starts out you could be mistaken for believing you're going to get a high octane end-of-the-world novel with zombie analogues. Actually while it could easily have gone that way it turns more toward the navel-gazing, deconstruction of personality, relationships and society. But it's very well done.After twenty years of self-imposed exile, Boo is summoned home to Sweetpatch upon news of his father’s strange death to face the friends and enemies of his youth, including his long-forsaken love. It seems everything he ran away from—the bigotry, the violence, the betrayal—has been buried under a modern landscape of golf courses and luxury hotels. Yet his homecoming reawakens the ancient forces that haunt the island and seek to right a centuries-old crime.

Nod works brilliantly on several levels; as a nerve-shredding horror, a timely cautionary tale, and a study of a man’s life being stripped away. --Sci-Fi Now The protagonist was so deeply and utterly unlikeable that I honestly hoped he'd die a horrible death at some point. His girlfriend considers him to be a 'geek', going by a few scenes-- this is one of the author's many, many shortcomings.

Byron 2011, p. 101. "Some authors carried the groaning and shaking interpretation over to Gen 4:16 when they commented on Cain's dwelling place. In the Hebrew version we read that Cain lived in the land of Nod. The name Nod is related to the participle נָ֖ד‎ in 4:12 which the LXX translated as τρέμων (trembling).

It follows Caine after he was cursed and cast out of society and his dwelling in Nod. It also details when Lilith bestows the powers of vampirism on Caine. One last thing I remember when I first heard of the brother's killing brother's in the Egyptian Stories an evil brother named Seth who murdered his brother now recall thinking oh know they were confused it wasn't Seth because Seth was born after Abels murder and Cain's subsequent exile imposed upon him by God. Here's a complete list of 'geek' things the protagonist does. He makes an offhand reference to Star Wars (which literally couldn't be more wrong and is surprisingly insulting to Leia, the only prominent woman in the original trilogy). He makes a reference to the fantastic four that, thanks to the endless cycle of reboots, is very much common knowledge. But the thing that gets his girlfriend to call him a geek? he knows who medusa is. and that she had snakes for hair. that's about it. Other than an oddly out-of-place reference to Harry Potter that honestly feels beyond contrived and a few dropped names later on, that's it. That's your lot.

Much as Cain's name is connected to the verb meaning "to get" in Genesis 4:1, the name "Nod" closely resembles the word "nad" ( נָד‎), usually translated as "vagabond", in Genesis 4:12.

I was very sorry to hear that--the world lost a talented novelist on his passing.Because Cain had just murdered his own brother and so what was too stop him from Murdering his Parents as well?
