A unique, original take on the tooth fairy. This story had a voice and tone I really enjoyed, and the transitions between scenes were well done. I loved that the tooth fairy could change gender.
Sam and his friends are like any normal gang of normal young boys--roaming wild around the outskirts of their car-factory town, daring adults to challenge their freedom; then one day Sam wakes to find the tooth fairy sitting on the edge of his bed--but this is not the benign figure of childhood myth...
The Tooth Fairy is a very good coming of age tale with sprinkles of horror (and maybe a wee fantasy, as well.) Sam has a Tooth Fairy - A (dream?) that is leaking over into the real world and causing havoc for the Redstone Moodies. As events unfold, Sam must find a way to disconnect from the Tooth Fa...
Graham Joyce surely is one of the most underrated authors...is this possibly because he is so hard to market? Is he horror? Is he fantasy? Or possibly `social surrealism'...? What ever he is his stories are strange, magical and original and he fast becoming one of my favourite authors. He likes to ...
I was expecting more of a horror story but what I got instead was a coming of age, supernatural/psycological thriller. An engrossing and easy read. I particularly liked the ambiguity of the ending.
It's hard to put into words exactly how I feel about this book. After pondering for quite some time, I decided to give it 3 stars.On the one hand, I thought it was really well written. The characters are very easy to relate to, and their individual personalities make them interesting to read about. ...
It surrounds a boy growing up and this isn't your average tooth fairy. More like a seductive tooth fairy who seems to be raping the boy in my opinion. I think I'll need to re-read it to get a better understanding.
Three and a half stars. The Tooth Fairy isn't really a horror novel. I'm not entirely sure it is even supernatural. What I'm sure about is that this is the strangest coming-of-age novel I've ever read. On the night he loses a tooth, seven year old Sam places it under his pillow and in turn encounter...
I thought this was just an excellent story about growing up. I don't know where it got tagged as a horror book but there is no horror here. There is not any particular set direction to this book but it manages to talk some about the trials an tribulations of adolescence.
It's hard to classify this book. I suppose you'd call it a fantasy but if that suggests magic etc., then that's altogether wrong. It's about a boy who is haunted by a nightmarish and sexually predatory tooth fairy. It's never entirely clear whether or not the tooth fairy is real or imagined. Though ...
