00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:08.919
one of the Neath Any at H
trilogy, this one called Herrick's End by

3
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:12.039
T. M. Blanchet, and
I must say it's very inventive and I

4
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:15.679
loved it. The action takes place
above here in Boston, where we meet

5
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:20.480
our hero Ali Delgado, a long, bullied, overweight late teenager who's never

6
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.600
had much luck with friends. He
meets a nice girl at a self help

7
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.960
group, has a bit of a
thing for her, only gonna have her

8
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.120
go missing, and Allie decides to
search for her. Through a series of

9
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:34.399
weird circumstances, Ali winds up in
a place beneath our world that no one

10
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:38.880
else knows exists, a safe place
for survivors of abuse and torture, and

11
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:44.119
a hellish dungeon where abusers and torturers
from above the ground end up. His

12
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:49.200
first novel uses the fantastic to critique
the violence and degradation of modern society,

13
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:53.240
and Alie reflects a hero we can
see in ourselves. Book one in a

14
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.920
trilogy, Herrick's End by T.
M. Blanchet, Super fun. And

15
