Blue Devil Island

This doesn't have anything to do w/ where Gerald Henderson will be exiled to. It's the name of my friend Mark Rainey's new book. It goes along the lines of all the other horror books he's written (the horror element is understated leaving that much more to your active imagination), but he's blended in his interest in World War 2 aviation to create a book that appeals to a pretty broad audience (I think). I know he's spent a lot of time playing Air Warrior, so I'll take his word that the details on the flying terminology are correct. The thing that got me about it is the effects of the war seem to be driving part of the "madness", but I've read enough of Mark's stuff to know that there really is something out there (in the books at least, and possibly in his house, and maybe his car). But the psychological changes in some of the characters present an interesting study in combat fatigue. If you are interested in horror (at least the Lovecraftian version) all of his books are worth reading. If you like World War 2 history, this is definitely worth a read. And probably most importantly for our current worldview, if you want to get an idea of how the stress of war can affect your mindset, it's worth your time.
