Indies 2015 BOOK AWARD WINNER, HORROR

Born from humanity - destined to destroy it

Allegory-laden horror-satire in which Stanley, one of the 'ordinary', is so evil his touch alone freezes girls’ minds with fear; caught up in porn, in their teens, he captures and keeps them as trophies.

While, the ‘ordinary' feed from humanity’s rot intent on bringing about the next phase for the human race.

Amid this dark descent humanity's fight for survival, as with retired policeman Rob, his son Jez and girlfriend Maria, seems doomed by its own dark, arrogant dehumanising of women.

FLUX magazine interview, July 10 2015: "Christopher Ritchie has marked himself out as a rising star in fiction.

The ordinary, plugs straight into the zeitgeist. Indeed, with the main theme being the viral spreading of fear via the media in a world where pornography has become commonplace, it’s not all that far-fetched for a horror story." “I find the real horror is there for all to see,” Ritchie says. “The news now compared to five or 10 years ago is really so much more aggressive and depressing. We’re fed large helpings of gruesome discovery every day and that’s just not good for the mind."

“That’s primarily what The ordinary is about, dressed up in horror-satire as a man takes on a crusade to punish girls who willingly go into porn.

My story sets up a reality not so unlike ours, where porn is becoming more acceptable and it’s driving a really seedy industry where on the fringes we’re seeing human trafficking, effectively sex slavery, girls being lost to the world, hooked on hard drugs… to me that’s just so awful and, troublingly, so likely.

Ritchie describes it as a virus and reckons it’s spreading worryingly fast. “It is! You’ve got 10-year-olds with smart phones exchanging this stuff in playgrounds. They’re growing up with this mass exposure to what is essentially dehumanising women, making sex something dark rather than enjoyable, and they’re indirectly feeding an industry which is purely and simply exploitative. I’m fascinated but absolutely disgusted by that world.

There is some light in the darkness though. The ordinary is an allegory-laden satire, with impressive character development, twists, and a hefty dose of black comedy."

L'autore

2015 BOOK AWARD WINNER 2013 BOOK AWARD FINALIST Christopher Ritchie: "I've always been a writer, as long as I can remember. Writing short stories as a child, irritating my teachers with overly long descriptive passages, and attempting to translate my talent for mischief onto the page. Thirty or so years later, I wrote a book, and then another one. Now I'm the kind of person who gets taken away by things - by TV shows, movies, books, videogames... I get lost in these worlds. I love getting lost in them. They fuel my imagination, they inform my dreams, and they open my mind to infinite possibilities. And so my debut offering, House of Pigs, is genuinely the product of two dreams, one a nightmare. I woke up and started writing. Thirty eight years of influences, experiences and ideas came together. Light in the darkness. Redemption. Horror. The unknown. The things that scare me in my nightmares are now committed to paper and binary code. A little while after that, I wrote the award-winning (IndieFab Book of the Year Silver Award for Horror) The ordinary. It's a dark satire that explores the global spread of fear via a rampant media. Gallows humour, epic scale, and - well, read the reviews for yourself. I hope you enjoy my work. These books were immensely fun to write. Slowly I am creating a world for other people to lose themselves in and, hopefully, get a little bit scared just as I did. My next novel, Nuclear Rock, should be out some time in 2017. Thanks for reading."

Out of the ordinary

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 13 ottobre 2015

Acquisto verificato

This book is a sequel and should be read as such. Not that the story will be impenetrable if it is read out of sequence, more that the reader will be denied an understanding required to get the best out of the story and, (possibly) more importantly, the style of writing.
Christopher’s first book, House of Pigs, is fast paced and, well, just plain weird – whilst being thoroughly absorbing and extremely well written. Weird in a good way and in a way that is more ‘connected’ than the weirdness encountered in The ordinary (note lower case ‘o’). The style of writing is similar in both books but the story unwinds in a more convoluted way in The ordinary and, as the character and body count far exceeds that found in HoP, the number of mental hat pegs required to hang information on provides a challenge that may dissuade the uninitiated reader from continuing.
Reading the (I can hardly believe I’m saying this...) ‘more accessible’ HoP first will acquaint the reader with Christopher’s abyssmic depth of bizarre thought processes and will therefore build a level of trust that ensures endurance – and it’s fun spotting back references. The ordinary is well worth reading and finishing: you need to know what happens to... the door is open for a third book.
Highly recommended.
