Festooned with sorcerers and demons in a pre-industrial otherworld setting, Low Town ...is a fantasy-crime hybrid with serious noir chops...Gritty, cryptically funny and relentlessly inventive." - Winnipeg Free Press A goal can be established and pursued but does it sound like a 2nd grader wrote it? Is the prose too verbose? Is the pacing too fast or too slow? These questions often have more subjective answers, but so long as they align with the piece's goals, then the artist has made good decisions. A fun rural outing if you’re in Bridgnorth with younger children, Rays Farm has friendly domestic animals, paths in ancient woodland and soft play areas. The pace is so uneven it made me think I was suffering from ADHD. One minute the story was gripping and captivating and stuff, and the next I was skimming away like a maniac. Towards the end I think I skimmed more than I read. Sigh. The story might have been more interesting and faster paced, had the author focused a bit more on developing the world vs. trying waaayyyyyy too hard to make an atmospheric read of it. But he didn't, so it didn't.When you contemplate Bridgnorth’s High Town from the east bank of the Severn, two churches stand out across the river. External - Externally, the property enjoys good-sized gardens that complement the home superbly. There is a huge amount of stone flagging, providing a lovely space for sitting out. A wrought iron gateway gives access to the footpath which leads gently down to Low Town or up to Riley Park and rural walks beyond. The gardens must be seen to be fully appreciated. The full-width stone flagged terrace is quite fabulous, particularly as it provides a lovely view overlooking the village, with Kirkburton church dominating the skyline. There are stone steps leading down to the property’s off-street parking, with mature shrubbery and trees. The parking area is hard surfaced and provides parking for 2/3 vehicles. There is a lawned garden to the side which is overlooked by the sitting room. There is a good-sized shaped lawn with flagged patio/terrace, once again enjoying the view out of the village and beyond. There are steps leading up to a further area of land where there is a garden shed. This is a story where Fantasy fans can get a taste of a hard boiled PI sort of character, with a good blend of dystopia and detective work in Low Town. The main protagonist is a Gritty been there and got the shirt detective Ex Low Town Government Special Services operative. He's now a man people fear on the streets, and is hired by the powers that be to find a murderer. The story is a straight forward search for killer story blended with a different setting, new rules and some new kind of characters to the long existing detective genre. I honestly feel a little bad that I didn’t like this. I mean the writing is there. It is really the type of writing style that I generally enjoy with some real depth to it.

There are some things a man can’t fake, and lethality is one of them—a lapdog might learn to howl, even bare its teeth on occasion, but that don’t make it a wolf.” Polansky hits all the right notes in his intelligent first novel, a blend of dystopian fantasy and hard-boiled crime....Sharp, noir-tinged dialogue and astute insights into class struggle mark Polansky as a writer with a future." -- Publishers Weekly The novel is very successful in its world-building. The place is even more interesting and claustrophobic than the characters, and this is pretty much a character-driven tale where no one is quite good enough. I mean, how heroic is it going to be when a main character is a drug pusher? St Leonard’s has come through a few calamities, the most destructive being a fire that destroyed most of the High Town during the Parliamentarian siege in 1646 during the Civil War.The Strait Razor Cure, however, comes and proves that it can be both good and interesting, with Daniel Polansky - making just his debut novel - combining two opposing genres, adapting them to the story with a strange, yet strong way, taking us deep into its dark, filthy secrets, and into a character that hides an even uglier past that will do everything in his power to protect his beliefs and those who he care for.

Drug dealers, hustlers, brothels, dirty politics, corrupt cops... and sorcery. Welcome to Low Town.After withstanding the siege for three weeks, the Royalists surrendered on 1 April 1646, before the tunnel could be completed. This book has a great deal for noir and dark fantasy lovers to enjoy. It plays along some lines that we have seen done before, but does it in a way without ever selling out or coming up short. This is a fairly dark story and the Warden, our main protagonist is a street kid that has gone bad. Sure he did his stint in the military, and tried to work as a detective with the crown. But, in the end, shit happens, and he is what he is. He has no troubles accepting himself and his shortcomings. You knew all you needed to know about him from his story about when things changed for him as a little boy in a fight with three bullies.

This is one of the few series that I think at book 1 I’ve decided it isn’t for me and I won’t be continuing. But I do want to say that the writing is very well done and if these things don’t bother you in you reading it might still work for you.

The building that houses the Old Mill Antiques Centre is substantial and is listed. Used previously as The Ridley Seed Company premises and seed mill, The Old Mill is fronted by a 16th Century Gentleman’s Town House. The Centre has recently been extensively refurbished to a very high standard and has approximately 40 antiques dealers over four floors.So, should you read it? ‘Low Town’ is a thrilling odyssey through the dregs of a fantasy metropolis. The city is dark and dangerous and has opium dens and ‘heathens’ and gangsters. It has duel-fighting nobleman douchebags and wizards and labyrinths and canals to drown in. It has plague and monsters and sorcerers who summon them. So the answer is obviously ‘YES.’ You should read it. Warden θα πρέπει να κάνει το αδύνατο δυνατό για να βρει τον δράστη - γιατί, αν αποτύχει να τον βρει εγκαίρως, θα απειλήσει να φέρει τον ίδιο, αυτούς που αγαπά και ακόμη και την ίδια την πόλη στην απόλυτη καταστροφή τους.
