IN AND DOWN by Brett Savory is more than a carnival

BookShorts.com -- In Brett Alexander Savory's new novel, In and Down (Brindle & Glass, Sept 07), one could simplistically say a disturbed boy gets lost inside the frightening carnival of his own bizarre thoughts. But we agree with Quill and Quire bestowing a starred review, citing the book as a "masterful piece of work" and "transcending the conventions of the genre." Our filmic art-piece barely does justice, with a gesture to the wonderfully creepy dream-state that Brett evokes through the spiralling story. For those of you who love a psychically horrific tale (not the blood-splattering type, though you'll find the book in the horror section) and maximum fodder for cinematic nightmares, dive in and you will not be disappointed. This interview Sponsored by BookExpo Canada Script to Screen Program.

"If you gave me 10 words to describe Brett Savory's writing style, I'd only need 5: Like A House On Fire." -Craig Davidson, Author of The Fighter -- watch Craig's BookShort and many more on www.MovingStories.TV!
