Instead of just being anecdotal, something to envy, The Game suggested you could learn the seduction lifestyle and live it yourself. The Game was a how-to guide, a self-help book for clueless men who couldn’t get laid, rather than a Tucker Max–type catalog of depravity. He was the focal point of Neil Strauss’s 2005 New York Times best-seller The Game, which was all about the seduction industry and the men who make a living from it. He’s made it his life’s work to teach men (for thousands of dollars) how to pick up, fuck, and date the women of their dreams. If you think about what a pickup artist is, you’re probably thinking of Mystery. ![]()

I mean to re-read the original because I remember little beyond the basic plot, but for now I’ll reflect on the book as it stands. In the Winter Rose Patricia McKillip draws heavily from The Snow Queen, written by Hans Christian Andersen: you know the one where a shard of a troll’s be-spelled mirror lodges itself into the heart of a boy, he’s kidnapped by the Snow Queen, and his friend tries to rescue him. So McKillip leap frogs over all the other books I plan to write about. ![]() It would be better if I narrowed the scope of my observations. It didn’t work because I was making all these sweeping generalisations when a) I love fantasy but I’m not a junkie ie I don’t read all that many and b) I’ve read, like, three fairy tales excluding the Andersen collection. I made an aborted attempt at writing what it was about fairy tales in the fantasy genre that stand out for me, even apart from the more expected fare that I love to bits. ![]() ![]() ![]() As a result, the life force of dead humans starts to build up this results in poltergeist activity, ghosts, and other paranormal phenomena.
