The premise of Wonton Soup is familiar by design culinary prodigy-turned-slacker Johnny Boyo and dreadlocked, sex-craved sidekick Deacon Vans carry exotic freight across the galaxy, stumbling into adventures and generally trying to put some distance between them and their respective homeworlds. Wonton Soup isn’t Stokoe’s earliest published work, but the real value in this new edition, collecting both volumes for a low price, is the opportunity to watch Stokoe’s development as a storyteller. But before he wrote/drew those, there was Wonton Soup, an everything but the kitchen sink “space trucker cooking opera” told in two volumes published between 20. Wonton Soup: The Collected Edition James Stokoe is perhaps most famous for his vibrant colors and “shit, son” sense-of-scale battle sequences in books both licenced (IDW’s Godzilla: The Half-Century War ) and creator-owned (Image’s D&D cum Dio song-comic Orc Stain ).

This story is dark and twisted in so many ways. In fact, at times I think they push you over it, but in a way that works because that’s what this story is. Those two definitely push you to the edge. Seduced in the Dark was a fantastic conclusion to this duet, and it definitely had me thinking and feeling all of the things with Caleb and Livvie. The reason I needed a breather was 100% on me, and not that book, so I was determined to finish their story during Dark Reads October.and I’m really glad I did. I actually started that second book, Seduced in the Dark, but I had to stop. I couldn’t stop thinking about Livvie and Caleb, their dark and at times depraved story, and I couldn’t stop wondering what the next book would bring for those two. Especially since I had already read half of The Dark Duet almost a year ago.Īlmost exactly a year ago I read Captive in the Dark by CJ Roberts. Having already devoured one of those series during Dark Reads October, I knew that I had to read the other. When I think about dark romances that have been recommended to me over the years, the two that come to mind first definitely have to be Monsters in the Dark by Pepper Winters and The Dark Duet by CJ Roberts. by Celina Wieniewska, New York, Dutton, Andrzejewski Jerzy, The Appeal A Novel, trans. by Celina Wieniewska, London, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, Andrzejewski Jerzy, A Sitter for a Satyr, trans. by James Kirkup, London, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, Andrzejewski Jerzy, He Cometh Leaping upon the Mountains, trans.
