	Amazon.com: Books: The Perfect Storm : A True Story of Men Against the Sea
		Having just finished Isaac's Storm, another death and destruction by sea/hurricane historical novel I was particularly fascinated and frightened by Junger's clinical and emotionless description of the act of drowning.
		The disapperance of the Andrea Gail is the focal point of the novel, but Junger also writes about the various rescue efforts taking place at sea during the worst storm in recorded history.
		In The Perfect Storm, author Sebastian Junger conjures for the reader the meteorological conditions that created the "storm of the century" and the impact the storm had on many of the people caught in it.

	Solar Storms
		Such is with Linda Hogan's second novel Solar Storms.
		Once again, as she did in her first novel, Mean Spirit, Linda (I call her Linda, since she is a former writing instructor of mine) uses her poet's eye, insight and voice to bring us a simple story of Native American people in their everydayness.

	A Storm of Swords
		In A STORM OF SWORDS, Martin continues his approach of killing off major characters, a tactic that adds to the emotional charge of the novel.
		A STORM OF SWORDS continues George R. Martin's popular fantasy series (begun with the powerful GAME OF THRONES and the exciting A CLASH OF KINGS).
		Indeed, Martin uses A STORM OF SWORDS to develop emotional complexity into several important characters including Jaime Lannister who has previously been fairly one dimensional.

	The Wine
		Patrick O'Brian's novel of the same name (Norton, 1993, ISBN 0393035581) is part of the greatly esteemed Aubrey/Maturin series on naval warfare (and much besides) in the Napoleanic era, available at or through your local library.
		From that he reasoned that Homer was describing the dark red sunsets that obtain when large amounts of dust are in the air, or when storm clouds are gathering.
		Homer's Greek for "wine-dark" is oinos, an expression that translates to something like "sunset-red." It occurs in the Iliad when Achilles, after Patroclus' funeral, is looking out over the water with the sun going down, in the Odyssey when Telemachus sails all night to Pylos, and when Odysseus' ship is destroyed in a storm.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Storm of the Century
		Fast forward to 1998: When I heard that the screenplay for Storm of the Century, King's self-proclaimed "novel for television" was going to be released in trade paperback, I was thrilled.
		To be sure, Storm is a well-crafted, smartly-plotted, hellzapoppin' story -- exactly what you'd expect from the master of 20th century gothic literature.

	Villette (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Villette’s final pages are ambiguous; though Lucy says that she wants to leave the reader free to imagine a happy ending, she hints strongly that M. Paul's ship was destroyed by a storm on his return from the West Indies, killing him.
		However, the novel is celebrated not so much for its plot as in its acute tracing of Lucy’s psychology, particularly Bronte’s use of Gothic doubling to represent externally what her protagonist is suffering internally.
		Villette also incisively explores isolation and cross-cultural conflict in Lucy’s attempts to master the French language, as well as the conflicts between her English Protestantism and the Catholicism (her denunciation of which is unsparing: 'God is not with Rome') of Labassecour.

	Ice Palace: A Novel for Alaska Statehood
		The focal point of Ferber's novel is the lovely teenager Christine Storm, who was born in the slit-open carcass of a caribou in the middle of a snowstorm deep in the Alaskan wilderness.
		Alaska is depicted as a great natural treasury, chock-full of "fish and fur and oil and metals and timber," a place brimming with life.
		Alaska, as a part of the United States, didn't particularly interest me. I was as ignorant of it as were (and are) most of the millions of citizens of my country.

	Amazon.com: Storm Front (The Dresden Files, Book 1): Books: Jim Butcher
		Storm Front is a riveting, action packed roller coaster of a novel, a damn good mystery with compelling characters set in a rich alternate reality universe where anything can happen.
		Storm Front is the first book I've read by Jim Butcher and is the first book in the series known as The Dresden Files.
		Actually, Storm Front compares quite favorably with the first few Anita Blake books, the gore isn't quite as heavy here, but the flavor is much the same.

	Reading Group Guide STORM TIDE by Marge Piercy and Ira Wood
		Storm Tide is a good novel, I think, because it dramatizes the clashing of characters who are so very different--just as Marge and I are so very different and yet able to work and live together.
		Storm Tide thus became the main project we were working on, and we each devoted our full time to it.
		Ira: Storm Tide was the most fun writing that I've had in twenty years.

	German Poetry about Scotland - Theodor Storm
		Theodor Storm (1817- 1888): He too was a poet and a novel-writer (and a lawyer).
		From 1852-1863 Storm had to live in exile in Berlin because he said the wrong things about the Danish occupation of the county of Schleswig-Holstein.
		In Berlin he met Fontane and became member in the same literary circle "Der Tunnel über der Spree".

	Del Rey Online Wit'ch Storm by James Clemens
		James Clemens burst onto the fantasy scene with Wit'ch Fire, a remarkable novel as brilliant as it was original.
		James Clemens was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1961.
		Now in Shadow of the Wit'ch, the explosive sequel, his talents blaze brighter still, illuminating a war-torn world of dark magicks and darker destinies--where a last, desperate hope for the salvation of all that is good lies in a young girl's hands.

		Storm has plans up her sleeve for the fanfic writers in the future, but at the risk of disappointing them, should the plans not come off, will remain silent as to details for the time being.

	DarkEcho Review: WRAITHS OF WILL AND PLEASURE by Storm Constantine
		Storm Constantine's first novel and the initial title of the Wraeththu trilogy, THE ENCHANTMENTS OF FLESH AND SPIRITS, was published in 1987.
		Constantine, who came from the punk-turned-goth music scene, has since published more than a dozen additional novels and a couple of short story collections.
		Constantine's unique writing style tends to break most standard rules, but it is readable.

	Storm Constantine's Wraeththu Mythos: Breeding Discontent
		Storm Constantine's novels have been published by a variety of publishers in the United Kingdom and the United States and her works have also been translated into several languages.
		Storm Constantine's first novel, The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit (first of the Wraeththu series) was published in 1987.
		The idea initially was to publish Storm Constantine's back catalogue novels, but it quickly became obvious that there were many other avenues to explore.

	Aestheticism Articles Storm Constantine
		Storm's first three novels are still her best-known, having garnered a quiet (but growing louder) cult fandom over the fifteen or so years since their first publication.
		These are all the Storm Constantine novels I've read; there are many more, but most are difficult to find (published only in the UK, out of print, etc.).
		The hardest Storm novel to find---but perhaps the best representative of the yaoi thematic/stylistic model in the English language.

	Images - The Ice Storm
		The Ice Storm (based on a novel by Rick Moody) takes us inside the Hood household, an upper-middle class family in the suburbs of New Canaan, Connecticut.
		The Ice Storm is a wonderful example of ensemble acting (although Joan Allen is in danger of becoming type cast in frigid wife roles).
		The Hoods are suffering an "ice storm" of their own: the father, Ben Hood (Kevin Kline), is having an affair and his wife, Elena (Joan Allen), suspects what's happening.

	Salon "The Ice Storm"
		You wouldn't think it would require a miracle for actors to be good in "The Ice Storm," since the source for Ang Lee's film (which opened the New York Film Festival last weekend), Rick Moody's 1994 novel, is one of the most beautifully written and emotionally satisfying books any young American novelist has produced recently.
		Moody's controlling metaphor of the ice storm, which stands for a world that no longer offers these characters the insulating protections they've come to rely on, has become a reductive, clichéd symbol for the distance between them.
		Everything about "The Ice Storm," from the cool green titles that seem to smoke and shift (as if seen through ice) to Mychael Danna's score of lonely, Asian-sounding wind instruments, is tasteful and distant.

	Fulbright American Studies Institute
		The novel documents their stories while Ezra attempts to gather his family together for one meal, just one meal to be eaten all the way through without any major arguments or any dramatic scenes in which one or more members of his family storm out of the room.
		In the novel, houses become metaphors for the psychological and physical boundaries that define the lives of these women, all of whom are oppressed by men or their socio-economic circumstances.
		The historical basis of Wideman’s novel is the 1985 city-ordered bombing of the MOVE house on Osage Avenue in Philadelphia, but the text quickly extends beyond this historical focus to incorporate a surrealist vision of America’s racial history as well as accounts of profoundly troubling incidents from the novelist’s past.

	Guardian Unlimited Books Reading group
		The Booker-shortlisted novel is a complex psychological portrait framed as a wicked satire.
		Set in 1970s industrial Birmingham, this acerbic coming-of-age novel tells the story of four schoolboys attempting to cope with all the usual traumas of adolescence - parents, sex, whether to call you band Gandalf's Pikestaff or The Maws of Doom - against a backdrop of pub bombings, strikes and anti-immigration racism.
		A lonely schoolteacher who befriends a new colleague is reluctantly drawn into a storm of outrage and hysteria when the new arrival's affair with an underage student comes to light.

	Choke by Chuck Palahniuk PopMatters Book Review
		You'd think that if your first novel set off a big-time literary cult lightning storm, sunk its fist-loosened teeth into a raw wound in that ever-evasive cultural zeitgeist, and got reverentially rethought into one of the most fiercely debated American films in recent memory, you'd be pretty pleased.
		Choke builds on certain key thematic trends that have turned up in each of your previous novels, particularly the idea of toying around with social deconstruction and anarchy as a means to personal revelation.
		Choke is about taking the next step, what Soren Kierkegaard would call the "leap of faith" where you actually stand for something new.

	PVM's Homepage
		The emphasis in the novel falls on Ginevra's substantiality; as Lucy notes when after her marriage she triumphantly exclaims 'I have my portion', there is an element of the trade-minded bourgeoise in Ginevra.
		In a novel where everything seems to relate to Lucy's mind, impinging on her or echoing her, realism is not what we expect.
		Her three years of being loved, and loving, before Paul's death are the three happiest years of her life; her life after that period does not offer stuff enough to generate a plot, and the novel ends -- Lucy falls silent: though there is, as I shall suggest later, another way to read the ending.

		A storm prevents them from returning to the mainland.

	MYSTIC ISLAND - a novel
		However, it unfolds from the perspective of a strong female lead and is peppered with plenty of humor and romance, sort of like a Janet Evanovich novel.
		Not to be messed with, the category-five, catastrophic storm embroils everyone in an intense struggle for survival.
		MYSTIC ISLAND propels the reader into a tale of fiction laced with historical overtones in the same spirit as THE DA VINCI CODE.

	Amazon.co.uk: Storm Front (Dresden Files): Books
		Suitably hardbitten, like a Dashiel Hammett novel, but shot through with a wry and black sense of humour, Storm Front is immensely entertaining.
		I picked Storm Front up based on the concept alone, the HP Lovecraft-ian idea of a Wizard working openly in Chicago appealing to me. I cannot say that I was disappointed by the decision.
		Some of the description of the action becomes a little confused at times, and the need to fill in the reader on a great deal of background information on Dresden's past and the rules of the world he inhabits does slow the narrative in places.
