Long John Silver's Blurbs |
About me:
I was born in Bristol, so I suppose, on account that I found myself there one day. Raised by Blind Tom, who took me under his great black cape and shared his food and drink with me. Peel gave me a berth on land while I waited for my chance to go to sea. And then there was Black John, the sea rat, who gave me my name and every opportunity until he tried to kill me. I never lose when I roll bones and I always kill them that would kill me. Everyone, so it seems, wants to kill me for my treasure. I need no company except a looking glass and a tumbler of ale. What better company is there? I ain't fit to meet no woman and no woman is fit for me.

Who I'd like to meet:
Hiring members of my new crew. Only the blackest
hearts need apply and all names are signed in blood.
THE BOOK:
Silver: My Own Tale As Written by Me with a Goodly Amount of Murder by Edward Chupack |
REVIEWS:
“Makes the pirate world come alive.”
--Kirkus Reviews |
| “Raving, raging, wheedling, bullying, plotting, bellowing, yarning away, the remarkable voice of Silver himself is the gift that Edward Chupack has given us in this daring novel. The old blackguard surely does love the sound of own voice. I loved it too.” --JON CLINCH, author of FINN |
| (Starred review) "At the start of Chupack's swashbuckling debut, Long John Silver, yes, that Long John Silver, faces hanging back in England after a life of piracy on the seven seas. But before he swings, the aging, fever-ridden pirate is determined to tell his fabulous story, so settle back, me hearties, it's one hell of a tale. Silver has a dual motive: not only does he wish to torment his captor, who has taken him prisoner aboard his own ship, but he also hopes to secure his release by promising to reveal the whereabouts of his fabled treasure. Some of the old Treasure Island gang—Ben Gunn, Pew, Jim Hawkins—return, but this is no retelling of the original. Chupack is particularly good at pirate dialogue (Silver says of the killing of his mate, Smollet: “he made an excellent corpse on account that you puddened him to the plansheers, so when the wind blowed aft to lee, he bade a farewell to the world”). Murder, a map, ciphers and codes, and even a bit of romance figure in Silver's rivet ing narrative as well. (Feb.)” -- Publisher's Weekly |
| “A fascinating, rough-edged read. A thoroughly unsanitized Long John Silver in his own right: brutal, bloody—and altogether gripping.” --Diana Gabaldon |
| “'My own tale as written by me with a goodly amount of murder.' These 'memoirs' purportedly penned by Long John Silver-a pirate and charming, unapologetic murderer, contains a code that leads to a treasure. Remarkable and darkly entertaining.” -- Seaworthy Publications |
| “This is a savage, heart-pounding novel 'by one of the Canon’s
great villains and full, as Silver himself says “of treasure, as there is such pleasure in the telling of it, like nipping from a glass of brandy in the eventide, a long eventide made of odds and chances with a red dawn in the reckoning. And, he should be sure not to leave out the blood.'” -- MacMillan Library, SMP Winter 2008 |
