司各特·霍金斯(1969- ),美國當代幻想作傢,現居佐治亞州亞特蘭大。
關於本書的創作,身為電腦程序員的司各特·霍金斯這麼說:
我在傢裏的地下室寫作,用的是Win7颱式機。平闆和筆記本我用不瞭,手太大。
2012年夏天的那三個月,我寫完瞭《上帝的圖書館》的主體部分。那段時間,除瞭這本書,我腦子裏什麼都不想。周末的時候,我淩晨兩三點起床,一直寫到下午六點——完全沉浸其中,打字的速度都快跟不上瞭。
靈感迸發時,寫小說是最美好的事。
同樣美好的是,作為司各特·霍金斯的長篇處女作,本書剛一上市便在美國幻迷中引發瞭轟動。
Neil Gaiman meets Joe Hill in this astonishingly original, terrifying, and darkly funny contemporary fantasy.
Carolyn's not so different from the other human beings around her. She's sure of it. She likes guacamole and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. She even remembers what clothes are for.
After all, she was a normal American herself, once.
That was a long time ago, of course--before the time she calls "adoption day," when she and a dozen other children found themselves being raised by a man they learned to call Father.
Father could do strange things. He could call light from darkness. Sometimes he raised the dead. And when he was disobeyed, the consequences were terrible.
In the years since Father took her in, Carolyn hasn't gotten out much. Instead, she and her adopted siblings have been raised according to Father's ancient Pelapi customs. They've studied the books in his library and learned some of the secrets behind his equally ancient power.
Sometimes, they've wondered if their cruel tutor might secretly be God.
Now, Father is missing. And if God truly is dead, the only thing that matters is who will inherit his library--and with it, power over all of creation.
As Carolyn gathers the tools she needs for the battle to come, fierce competitors for this prize align against her.
But Carolyn can win. She's sure of it. What she doesn't realize is that her victory may come at an unacceptable price--because in becoming a God, she's forgotten a great deal about being human.

黑暗黑暗,非常的黑暗。要不是我讀過《安徒生童話暗黑版》,我估計一時很難接受,而且我還讀過《樓下七房客》,都是比較另類的風格。暗黑風格,體會一下,也不錯。 我會不會推薦給我的子侄輩呢,我想應該不會,但是我會推薦給我的朋友們。也可以適當換個風格試一試。這本書,前...

評分書的故事開頭進展有些緩慢。不過故事越到後麵越精彩,各種齣其不意
評分後半部沒有前半部那麼驚艷,有點父慈女孝唯有真愛解救一切的既視感【什麼鬼。。。綜閤來看還是很爽!我喜歡作者開腦洞的方式!
