Novel Serializations
Beginning in this issue, the Wild River Review will serialize novels in development by both
established and emerging authors. Bookends will include complete novels in serial form and occasionally
selected chapters from novels still on the stove.
This issue we begin a rather strange journey with author Jonathan Maberry as we explore Tales from
the Fire Zone, a mainstream thriller in which the adult effects of child abuse are presented with
no punches pulled. Tales from the Fire Zone, which will be serialized in three long sections
(downloadable as PDF files), ventures into the fractured mental landscape of abuse survivor Jim Smith
and journeys with him from the world in which he was forced to live by one monstrous parent into the
reality he chooses to create for himself. It is a novel of psychological and spiritual awakening,
set in a world where anything literally anything is possible.
Tales from the Fire Zone was originally written as a play and was produced twice in Philadelphia
in 1984 and ‘85; and later dramatized for the radio in ‘86. It has a strong and devoted cult
following and has now been fully realized as a novel.
Buckle your seatbelts... this is going to be a bumpy ride.
