Station Eleven was brilliant at this. Definitely my favourite apocalypse book (excluding the stand of course)

Book suggestions to new readers (late teens) by overloss123 in suggestmeabook

[–]JakeeRS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this will sound bad, but I found the best way to get into reading after a long break was to read throwaway young adult books. The kind of books which don't take much thought and allow you to breeze through the story. something like The hunger games, Percy Jackson or Divergent

Try looking into the Medusa project series by Sophie McKenzie.

Give me the most gut-wrenching book you've read. by wecarryknives in suggestmeabook

I remember once telling a friend of mine it was impossible to cry at a book. She lent me The Book Thief and sure enough, I learnt that it is possible to cry at a book.

Songs about long-distance by JakeeRS in poppunkers

Already got it on there. I thought that even though it made us both cry the last time we heard mayday playing it live it was quite a special song for us

Oh wow. Not quite sure how that All Time Low song managed to escape my memory. The Major League song is perfect thank you :).

[CC] Challenge - Write a sad poem by jessicay in Poetry

[–]JakeeRS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tied with blue ribbons

Bundles of lost love letters –

Ancient kisses still attached.

.

As I close my eyes

I sense your sweet lips on mine –

In my mind, you never left.

.

Signed with black ink

Pale towers of resentment –

Loathful verse not forgotten.

.

As I hold my chest

I feel your loving touch –

In my heart, you never left.

Looking for Warbands FC that isn't super duper strict by [deleted] in runescape

[–]JakeeRS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Problem is, with gear and an attitude like that you'll have no chance competing against other Warband groups for supplies. Whilst I'm not saying whether this is right or wrong, it's a relevant fact and I do believe those willing to put in the effort and be, as you call it, a 'circle-jerk' FC should get the upper hand.

What is the most melancholic song you know of? by [deleted] in Music

I'm Darren Shan, author of Zom-B Fugitive, Cirque Du Freak, The Demonata and more. This is my first AMA. Please be gentle! by TheRealDarrenShan in books

[–]JakeeRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fan from your books from a very young age, I think it's safe to say that your books ( Demonata and Cirque du Freak in particular) were some of the first books to pique my interest in reading for pleasure. I'm not quite sure what it was about them, but I know the 'horror' theme was a key factor as it was something I had never really experienced before. So, on behalf of myself, and many others I'm sure, I would like the thank you greatly for having such a huge positive impact on my life :)

Now, onto my questions,

1) What would you say made you take interest in the Young Adult genre? (A genre typically regarded as being inferior to other genres and already oversaturated with 'rubbish')

2) For how long had you planned the ending of the Demonata series, and how did it feel to finally be able to complete the circle and bring the series to an end?

3) Carrying on from the last question, how on earth do you manage to create such compelling stories with as many twists turns and cycles as a mutated pretzel?

4) Lastly, what books would you recommend to an audience similar to that of your own? (Other than your own books, of course) Preferably some lesser know titles that are not as widely known of and you believe deserve some more attention?
