Stanczyk Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Theodore Beale AKA Vox Day had this to say about his latest series, Arts of Dark and Light: And to those who will roll their eyes at the idea of “a Christian answer to George Martin” and imagine it is meant in the Stryper sense, let me hasten to disabuse you of that notion. A THRONE OF BONES is neither an homage nor an imitation, it is a challenge. It is intended as a literary rebuke.Game, set, match, as they say. The next volume is tentatively titled A Crash of Rings. (Should we expect A Blizzard of Broadswords afterwards? Only time will tell) Source: http://www.speculati...a-with-vox-day/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkynJay Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 'Throne of Bones' will not even need to be renamed when the inevitable porn parody is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry. Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I think I would rather listen to Stryper do a Christian musical version of ASOIAF than read Beale's take on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sci-2 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Larry come on. The guy is a proponent of the Simulation Argument but is also a far right reactionary AND has this whole thing about demons he refuses to discuss.There is a weird charm to him though. If anyone was going to forcibly deport me, I'd want it to be Vox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry. Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yes, but Stryper has a "better look," plus I am already envisioning the adaptation of "To Hell With the Devil" for certain scenes :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry. Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Who?Only the greatest '80s Christian glam rock band. I remember them from my middle school/high school years and trust me, the high-pitched singing would make for an awesome ASOIAF musical :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry. Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I don't know who Vox Day is either, mind, but he can't possibly be better than these guys!He isn't. But in his mind, he's totally rocking a Wayne's World-quality air guitar solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdyphillip Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Who?You made me do this... It is not my fault Actually, go easy slamming these guys. I know them, and they are all really great guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datepalm Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Who's slamming? They seem nuts to me, but they own it 100%. I respect that. Can't say the same for Vox Day, who appears to, uh, maybe possibly have something to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanczyk Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 I am genuinely curious what the actual title for the second book will be. If not a Crash of Rings, then what? That's about the limits of curiosity where this is concerned, however. You may peruse the sample chapters on Amazon if you so wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eponine Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Wow. That...wow.And some of those amazon 'reviews'. Wow.Oh and he likes to shit on bad reviewers on his blog, too!I just....faith in humanity...dropping...The way he and his ass-kissers respond to one star reviews says a lot. For comparison, from the blog of a board member who published a novel and was given a poor review... by someone he personally asked to read it. I've always really respected this.http://blog.todd-newton.com/2010/11/testing-theory-of-bad-reviews.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
