Name This Book Or The Author…?
I read a book in the summer of 1992 that was incredible! And I can’t for the life of me remember the name. It’s fiction, a thriller to be specific. It starts off with someone, I believe sitting in a car, waiting for someone else, or more appropriately, trying to track down a murderer…I believe they were all prostitutes he was murdering. The two were friends from Catholic School. And as kids they broke into a priest’s closet and stole a book on black magic then went out to Coney Island to cast a spell. Something happened off in the distance, which turned out to be one of the kids in the future making a deal with the Devil. Well the one committing the murders became a high power lawyer, thanks to his pact with the Devil. But as part of his payment he had to murder people and give them to the Devil. Fantastic book. I had totally forgotten about it till recently when my wife reminded me of it, and we cannot come up with the name. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Searching For A Fantasy Novel From My Youth, Can’t Remember Name Or Author, Was Hoping The Internet Could Help?
I remember the title had the word “magic” in it, but I could be mistaken. Youth fiction, in which a magician visits a court and one of the youth runs off with him to become a magician at magic school. He gets in trouble, casts lightning, summons a demon, and saves the world or something similar. In the end he’s sent on a redemption quest to Serpent Tower (or some variation there-of) in which he’s vowed to not use magic for the duration. I can’t for the life of me remember anything else about the book, except that I really wanted to read the sequel (it’s been a good 9 years since – I remembered it only from some memorabilia I was sorting through)
What Is The Title And Author Of This Picture Book About Magic Golden Thread That Makes Time Go By Faster?
I think the main character is a boy, and someone (a fairy?) gives him a spool of magic thread or yarn. Every time he unwinds it a little, time passes by, so he uses it to get through the school day in an instant. He goes overboard in pulling the string to skip all the “boring” parts of his life, years pass by, and before he knows it his friends, family, wife, etc. are getting old and dying, and all the thread that is left is silver. He realizes that he has practically wished his life away. At the end he gets a second chance at life, but without the magic thread.

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.
