In the other hes a highly regarded demonologist, helping real American families who fear they may be threatened by the demonic. In one hes a decorated sergeant for the NYPD who proudly protected and served his city for over 18 years. But it is his other job that he calls "the Work": investigating cases of demonic possession and assisting in the exorcisms of humanity's most ancient-and most dangerous-foes. Ralph Sarchies life is divided between two very different worlds. A sixteen-year NYPD veteran, Ralph Sarchie works out of the 46th Precinct in New York's south Bronx. ![]() ![]() It’s about 3 half human-half Fae sisters who live on Earth and are trying to prevent a demon uprising.Įach sister has different powers that go wonky due to their halfblood nature: One is a witch whose spells don’t always work in the manner she wishes, the second is a werecat who ends up turning into a tabby instead of something bigger which as you can tell, doesn’t always work for a battle, and the third was a skilled acrobat until she fell into a vampire meeting while spying on them and was turned. ![]() ![]() Each book in the series is written from the perspective of a different sister.

Don’t worry, I won’t spoil the ending for you if you haven’t finished reading yet. Before I get into the best similar books to Punk 57, let’s quickly recap the story. ![]() ![]() Nada, which in Spanish means “nothing”, emerged in one of the darkest and most stagnant periods of Spanish history.įor many Spaniards - already exhausted from the brutal Civil War that ripped the country apart between 19 - their worst nightmare had become a crushing, everyday reality. Censorship and stagnation after the Civil War The scowling maid, Antonia, lurks in the shadows with her dog, relishing the violence. Andrea’s tiny, tremulous grandmother tries to keep the peace, recalling how “there were never two brothers who loved each other like Román and Juanito”. Juan can be found either beating Gloria or painting bad nudes of her to sell for a pittance. If Gloria gets involved, Juan turns on her. ![]() Andrea’s arrogant artistic uncle Román goads his hot-headed brother, Juan, usually about his “piece of trash” wife, Gloria, who Román claims is obsessed with him. Every day, the same violent dramas recur. ![]() Arriving at her grandparents’ crumbling apartment, Andrea enters “what seemed like a nightmare”: a ragged array of relatives teetering between madness and starvation.Īndrea’s grandfather is dead and the household is under the command of her authoritarian aunt, Angustias, who promises to “mould” Andrea into obedience. Once glorious, Barcelona is now defeated and dilapidated, “its silence vivid with the respiration of a thousand souls behind darkened balconies”. ![]() ![]() ![]() Indeed, she escape, and uses her last bits of strength to find her brother and fall onto him. This is a glaring hint for readers that Madeline might not, indeed, be dead, and that there may be consequences for burying her alive. Poe first explores an almost Romeo and Juliet-like moment when the narrator notices that Madeline is still flushed in death. The fact that his friend and his sister are dead are bad enough the house is clearly connected to them and they to the house, and once this connection is broken, the narrator bears witness to its utter destruction.ĭeath is a popular theme found in many of Poe’s works. ![]() As she appears in the doorway in the middle of a horrific storm, covered in blood and in her final gasps, the narrator, now terrified by what he has just witnessed, runs outside only to see the entire house break and fall into the tarn. The terror arises not only on the part of the reader through the creepiness of the setting, the state of Usher, and the ghastly sounds coming from the vaults it also comes from Usher’s realization that he probably buried his sister alive.
