For those not familiar with her,Kelley Armstrong is a Canadian writer who has a hit series of novels in the relatively new genre that I call "supernatural chic". This is a field which has caught on in the past few years-women authors writing books for women,with paranormal or supernatural themes. The only reason I go acquainted with this stuff is that my sig-o is more or less addicted to these kinds of books,and if I'm over at her place I'll skim one while waiting for the dryer to finish running,or that sort of thing.
Ms. Armstrong has a whole series of these supernatural chick books out,and I looked at her last one,entitled (I think) Living With The Dead.
The story line is pretty complicated,and I won't go into it here,but I will detail the fuxation alert:
One of the heroes of the story is the ghost of the husband of the damsel in distress. The ghost is trying to help a police detective get the damsel out of distress,and that wouldn't be too bad,except for one glaring error!
The ghost happens to be a nigger. The nigger married a human woman and then was tragically shot to death one night when he stopped to help a strange woman who had suffered a blowout. The nigger was walking up to the car while carrying a jack handle,when the occupant of the car-seeing a nigger with a jack handle walking in her direction after dark-quite sensibly shot him. The nigger exits stage left,only to reappear as a ghost in the book. The demise of the nigger is-we are told by Ms. Armstrong-a great tragedy and an example of evil racism,yadda yadda yoda.
So this is where I pretty much tossed the book down and went back to folding clothes. The death of a nigger is not tragic. The death of a nigger musician (in the book,the nigger had a band) who managed to marry a human woman is an episode to which thinking humans everywhere should be completely indifferent,since there isn't a shortage of niggers who can blow horns. And as far as the coal burning whore is concerned,she's lost to humanity anyway,and there's a whole continent and a half full of bucks to replace the one that got shot.
And why anyone would cry about a human woman shooting a nigger approaching her at night with a jack handle is beyond me. I can only surmise that Ms. Armstrong has never been exposed to nigger on human rape/murder statistics. OR-just maybe-her editor told her that her next book needed a (literally) magic nigger hero. Big deal.
So the point is,Kelley Armstrong wrote a book with a magic nigger ghost for one of the main characters,and this book should be ignored.
