Back Seat Book Club – Book Twenty-Three: Black Dog

Author: Rachel Neumeier

Published 2014

Strange Chemistry

Plot Summary – Natividad is Pure, one of the rare girls born able to wield magic. Pure magic can protect humans against the supernatural evils they only half-acknowledge–the blood kin or the black dogs. In rare cases–like for Natividad’s father and older brother–Pure magic can help black dogs find the strength to control their dark powers. 

But before Natividad’s mother can finish teaching her magic their enemies find them. Their entire village in the remote hills of Mexico is slaughtered by black dogs. Their parents die protecting them. Natividad and her brothers must flee across a strange country to the only possible shelter: the infamous black dogs of Dimilioc, who have sworn to protect the Pure. 

In the snowy forests of Vermont they are discovered by Ezekiel Korte, despite his youth the strongest black dog at Dimilioc and the appointed pack executioner. Intrigued by Natividad he takes them to Dimilioc instead of killing them.

Now they must pass the tests of the Dimilioc Master. Alejandro must prove he can learn loyalty and control even without his sister’s Pure magic. Natividad’s twin Miguel must prove that an ordinary human can be more than a burden to be protected. And even at Dimilioc a Pure girl like Natividad cannot remain unclaimed to cause fighting and distraction. If she is to stay she must choose a black dog mate. 

But, first, they must all survive the looming battle

Quick Thoughts:

  • No plot.
  • Structure; do it better.
  • World building; do it.
  • Gratuitous Spanish mixed with made up fantasy setting terminology. No context cues for either.
  • 105 pages and then no…
  • for no one.

Recorded: 06/27/14

Next time: American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis

BSP Episode 327: Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

Join the gang as they discuss the 2013 film Perfume: The Story of a Murderer.

  • Directed by Tom Tykwer
  • Written by Andrew Birkin, Bernd Eichinger, Tom Tykwer
  • Starring Ben Whishaw, Dustin Hoffman, Alan Rickman

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is the highly stylized murder story from Tom Tykwer, German director who broke into international prominence with Run Lola Run and most recently co-directed Cloud Atlas. It’s slow, historical, and is a movie primarily about odor which is a trifecta of problems not dealt with by other movies. On this, we can give it credit for originality. On accounts of quality or watchability, reviews were mixed. Perfume tells the story of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, an 18th century man born into poverty in Paris who learns he has an amazing sense of smell. Strange things happen but, eventually, he starts killing people. A lof of people. That’s where it gets weird.

Worth noting:

  • Life finds a way. Dr. Malcolm was right, dammit. People bang in subzero temperatures.
  • Jolie likes this movie because the ending pays off hardcore.
  • Tony disagrees for some reason and has some crackpot theory that it’s a fairy tale. You know, where a lot of people get murdered.
  • Find out, if you want to, what all the head butting talk is all about.
  • “I’m pooping and I have no escape route.” The wasp is coming for you.
  • If you’re not slutty for George Clooney, you’re slutty for Cheech Marin.
  • I’m a dragon.
  • Jolie talks all about the big move to Seattle.
  • If you don’t like the show notes, blame the ghost of Kurt Cobain.

Featured in this episode:

  • Tony
  • Darrell
  • Jolie
  • David
