Book Review: MONSTER PLANET by David Wellington
2007, Thunder's Mouth Press

David Wellington might very well go down in history as the author who made
zombies interesting again. For too long now, the horror subgenre of zombie
survival stories has been stale - dead, if you'll forgive the pun - from
overexposure. Each story seems to take exactly the same plot trajectory - misfit
survivors come together, hole up somewhere safe and then wait until the walls
are breached to be picked off one by one - and, perhaps worse, each seems to
play by the exact same set of worldbuilding rules. Wellington's 2006 novel
Monster Island changed all that. It gave the subgenre a refreshing shot in the
arm with the story of DeKalb, a UN weapons inspector, sneaking into the
zombie-infested remains of New York City with a small army of Somali schoolgirl
warriors bent on retrieving some much-needed medicine from the United Nations
Secretariat building. But what made Monster Island so unusual, so fresh -
besides the machine gun-toting schoolgirls, I suppose - was the inclusion of two
unique characters: Gary, a fully conscious zombie, able to think, talk and pass
for human, with the ability to control the mindless hordes around him, and Mael
Mag Och, the powerful, telepathic ghost of an ancient Celt whose bog-preserved
corpse is on display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Sentient zombies? Celtic
ghosts? Now you know you're reading something different, something with
boundary-breaking creativity. And I haven't even mentioned the reanimated
Egyptian museum mummies.

In the second book of the trilogy, Monster Nation, also released in 2006,
Wellington took readers back to the beginning of the end, the early days of the
Epidemic, and introduced us to another fully conscious zombie, this time an
amnesiac woman who calls herself Nilla. Like Gary, Nilla has a "superpower" -
she can turn invisible. An invisible zombie may sound nutty, but Wellington is
an author who knows what he's doing, and her power becomes incredibly important
not just to her survival but to her understanding of the strange new world she
has woken up to. Wellington is also clearly aware that the problem with prequels
is that the readers already know the outcome, so here he unleashes his most
innovative creation yet: the source of the Epidemic. Where most zombie stories
are science-fictional in nature -reanimation being caused by everything from
viruses to space gas to toxic waste - Wellington instead gives his undead world
a fantastical explanation. The Epidemic is mystical in nature, part of a force
that unleashes terrible, unstoppable magic into what was once a rational world.
Magic is the new guiding force in a world that's doomed by still relying on
science to set things right.

Which brings us to the third and final volume, Monster Planet. Set twelve years
after the events of the first two novels, we follow Sarah, DeKalb's grown
daughter, and Ayaan, one of the Somali schoolgirls from Monster Island , on a
dangerous trip back to New York City. Characters from the previous two novels
collide in a major, world-altering showdown between the undead armies of the
"liches" - those who are like Gary and Nilla, dead but still intelligent, led by
a powerful Russian zombie-child called the Tsarevich - and the pawns of master
manipulator Mael Mag Och. At stake is nothing less than the future of the world
itself, a world even the few remaining survivors think might be better off
destroyed. Monster Planet may also be the closest Wellington has come to writing
a pure fantasy novel, with the liches standing in for wizards (each has a unique
magical power) and with the characters on a dangerous quest through a
treacherous landscape to be the first to reach the treasure that is the Source.

Wellington's authorial ability to completely envelope you in his world is such
that by the time you reach a scene where Egyptian mummies are shooting rocket
launchers out of the side of a helicopter at an army of zombies, you don't find
it over the top at all, but rather a natural and perfectly understandable
progression of the plot. Of course, it also has that "Oh my God, how cool is
this?" factor for the twelve-year-old in all of us, but that's just icing on the
cake for what amounts to an amazingly good read as a whole. Gut-munching,
shambling and headshots take a back seat to what is essentially a very human
story of perseverance, reunion and redemption, done up in a m?lange of military
adventure, quest fantasy and horror. As for Wellington's prose, it's clean,
smooth and literate, no less than one might expect from a graduate of the Penn
State MFA program. Bolstered by the author's unlimited imagination, Monster
Planet is a joy from start to finish.

All three of the Monster books are excellent, and Monster Planet is the perfect
end to a long, strange trip. The trilogy has quickly become one of my favorite
horror series. Wellington's Laura Caxton series (13 Bullets, 99 Coffins, Vampire
0) is ongoing, not limited to a trilogy, and though Monster Planet comes to a
wonderful conclusion, I'd be delighted if he would keep the Monster series
ongoing as well. I would be first in line to revisit Wellington's cracked,
mystical world of the living and the dead.

from the state that brought you Jessie Ventura:

The criminal complaint says he was running for president in 2007 when the
16-year-old girl wrote a message of support on his MySpace page. She told police
they began dating online, and the threats began when she tried to break off the
relationship.

She told police that "in a desperate attempt" to get him to leave her alone, she
had e-mailed him that she was a member of an elite vampire hunter society and
that continuing their relationship would put him in danger. Her father told
police he talked to Sharkey, but Sharkey continued to call the girl and write

SOME GOOD LATE NIGHT SNACK IMAGERY!

theres a movie Old Men in New Cars that is almost exactly like Metalocalypse in
violence, pacing and exactly like the humor of the show. electrocution from a
light fixture dropped from a ladder, to a van falling out of a plane on top of a
poor broken jawed idiot with that thing they always do on the cartoon. ya look
at the object getting closer and closer to your demise without moving. i couldnt
stop laughing. there are 3 bullet wounds that show up as stains on the bodies
-so the blood factor is more like watery ketchup- no biggie. aside from all the
violence it sort of revolves around some guys obsessed with making a good meal
with raw fish, then sweet bread. also a son sprung from jail (with the use of
water ballast and wire with a german shephard eating a leg) so he can visit his
huge conman father dying from a bad liver. uh ya, trust me its completely fukt.

Until the Bright Logic is Won Unwishpering as a Mirror is Believed

new works by Peggy Cyphers and Josh Churchill

Noma Gallery is proud to present Until the Bright Logic is Won Unwishpering as a
Mirror is Believed featuring new works by artists Peggy Cyphers and Joshua
Churchill. This show is the second in the gallery's Fall series of intersecting
solo shows, combining established New York artists with emerging San Francisco
artists.

The title of the show is borrowed from Hart Crane's poem The Legend. Crane's
poetry is congruent with both of the artists' practice in its use of metaphors
to transform elements from chosen surroundings into "mystic possibilities", as
described by Crane. In the poet's case the point of departure was his urban
environment. For Cyphers and Churchill, both urban dwellers, nature is evoked as
the chosen point of departure. Depicting these spaces in painting and photos and
sound, respectively, the works in the exhibition blur the abstract and
representative form throughout the natural landscape. The use of luminosity by
either subtraction or addition also intersects in both works. Topography becomes
the setting for an unknown narrative that allows the viewer a personal point of
entrance.

Peggy Cyphers was born in Baltimore, Maryland and has lived and worked in New
York City for over 25 years. Her work investigates through the painting medium
processes of Evolution and Entropy and finds inspiration in the natural world.
Recent paintings channel animal spirits through an automatic writing form of
painting using traditional painting materials, sand and gold leaf. Her
exhibitions have been reviewed in the New York Times, New York Observer, Art in
America and San Francisco Chronicle, among others. She exhibited with the
Proposition Gallery for over a decade. Recent exhibitions include "Animal
Spirits" at Creon Gallery, New York City and a two person show at the Kleinert
James Arts Center in Woodstock, New York in October 2009. The Noma Gallery
exhibition is Cyphers `s first show in San Francisco in 11 years. Cyphers'
exhibition of large scale paintings and works on vellum will be accompanied by a
color catalogue and feature an essay by art critic Lilly Wei. Cyphers' has had
solo shows in San Francisco at Cheryl Haines Gallery, Mincher-Wilcox Gallery and
Khiva Gallery. The Noma Gallery exhibition is an exciting return to the bay
area.

Joshua Churchill is a San Francisco based cross-disciplinary artist who works
primarily in the context of sound and light installation and photography.
Churchill's work explores the aesthetic and emotive qualities of environments
and objects that are in states of transition, disuse, or decay, often focusing
on contrasts and similarities between urban and rural, organic and inanimate.
His immersive site-specific installations utilize sound, light, and appropriated
technology to re-contextualize and reanimate these environments and objects. The
function of light in Churchill's photographs is similar to that of sound in his
installations; its presence and absence share equal importance as they are used
to simultaneously illustrate and obscure the subject, evoking an atmosphere rife
with mystery. He has exhibited and/or performed at Adobe Books Backroom Gallery
(San Francisco),, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco), Meridian
Gallery (San Francisco), Luggage Store Gallery (San Francisco), Recombinant
Media Compound (San Francisco), National Showa Kinen Park (Tokyo), Aqua Art Fair
(Miami), New Media Scotland, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Post Gallery
(Los Angeles), and Galeria Ze Dos Bois (Lisbon, Portugal).

Global gold production is in terminal decline despite record prices and
Herculean efforts by mining companies to discover fresh sources of ore in remote
spots, according to the world's top producer Barrick Gold.

Aaron Regent, president of the Canadian gold giant, said that global output has
been falling by roughly 1m ounces a year since the start of the decade. Total
mine supply has dropped by 10pc as ore quality erodes, implying that the roaring
bull market of the last eight years may have further to run.

"There is a strong case to be made that we are already at 'peak gold'," he told
