Outstanding Story

After reading Carl East's short storyForever Young, I wrote a review encouraging Carl to continue to write stories like that one as I thought it was very good. While that is not unusual to say you like something in a book review, it is when you put Carl East in context: he is a very prolific, and apparently successful, writer of erotic (to put it nicely) titles. I speculated Carl could sell a gajillion - that is a word, according to my kids - copies of novels along the Forever Young format if he gave it a try.

Carl replied back to my above-mentioned review, and encouraged me to give this book a try, and I am glad he did. If you think about the short story concept, an author has to be really good in a short story due to the limited amount of words to set the stage of the story, get you introduced to the characters, keep your interest, then drive it home with a conclusion vs. 100,000+ words in a full-length novel.

Carl nailed it on this one - I could really visualize Carl's concept of Hell, the Devil, his minions, and the souls in Hell, then he drove home his message at the end and had me wishing there were other titles along similar lines by Carl East I could read. This was a really good story that had me thinking in life: have I done what I need to do in order to be in Heaven, or will I spend an eternity on one of the "levels" Carl describes?

This was a pretty deep short story and way out in left field for my stereotype vision of a writer of porno titles, which makes me wonder: is there something repressed in Carl East wanting to escape? I don't know, but I hope so.

So, to sum it all up - Carl, you've written yet another very good story that proves (a) you're a pretty good writer, and (b) you can write successfully in another genre. How about putting those skills to the test and writing a full-length non-erotic novel along the lines of Forever Young and To Hell and Back? I'd buy it, and I'd be willing to bet many others will, too.
