Re: Weirdest Awesome books you've read? (Possible spoilers)

[(Anonymous)]

I've talked about him before in weird book threads on here, but it's definitely something by RA Lafferty. The two weirdest things I've read by him are The Reefs Of Earth and The Three Armageddons of Enniscorthy Sweeney.

The Reefs of Earth is about the Dulanty family, an extended family of goblin-like aliens, the Puca (or maybe gobliny fairies; it might be most accurate to call them goblin fairies who come from another planet) living in a small mining town in Oklahoma. One of the adult Puca gets killed, two of them get sick, and the fourth gets framed on charges of murdering one of the corrupt bosses of the town, so the seven kids (one of whom is already dead) set off on a quest to murder everyone. I mean, everyone in the world. That's their goal. They attempt to do this by using killing spells made up of doggerel rhymes and hanging out with Indians and ghosts and stealing a riverboat and sailing it down the river and having adventures. Simultaneously the adult Puca escapes and goes on the run from the other corrupt bosses who framed him and are looking for him before an eventual confrontation. It's an absolutely strange book and I'm probably making it sound more normal than it is; highly recommended. The Three Armageddons of Enniscorthy Sweeney is about a man who writes operas about World War I and II, and thereby prevents them from happening; the third armageddon of the title is World War III, which he's trying to prevent by similar means. Also much stranger than I'm making it sound.

I'm reading another book by Lafferty right now which might end up being even stranger when it's done (unfortunately, its publication history was extremely spotty, so it might be years till I actually read the whole thing). It's called The Devil Is Dead and it begins with a man named Finnegan and a millionaire named Saxon X. Seaworthy coming to outside a bar one morning after a night of drinking that neither can remember (in fact, Finnegan can't remember the several months before it). And then Seaworthy decides to sail around the world in his yacht, and offers Finnegan a spot on the crew, which he takes. However, also on the yacht is Mr. Papadiabolous (Papa Devil), who may or may not be the devil, and who Finnegan slowly begins to remember killing with Seaworthy on the night he can't remember. And a third time I tell you it's even stranger than that.

Man, do I love Lafferty.

Those books sound... Intriguing. And I mean that in the best possible way. O_O

I want to read them!
