Dark Matter eLiquid

Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.

Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

The Colorado Kid (Hard Case Crime #13)

Description

On an island off the coast of Maine, a man is found dead. There's no identification on the body. Only the dogged work of a pair of local newspapermen and a graduate student in forensics turns up any clues.

But that's just the beginning of the mystery. Because the more they learn about the man and the baffling circumstances of his death, the less they understand. Was it an impossible crime? Or something stranger still...?

No one but Stephen King could tell this story about the darkness at the heart of the unknown and our compulsion to investigate the unexplained. With echoes of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon and the work of Graham Greene, one of the world's great storytellers presents a surprising tale that explores the nature of mystery itself...

Summary: "Waste of Time"

I'm not the only reviewer to write this, so it's not much of a spoiler, but I cannot stand when I invest time in a book to have NOTHING solved in the end.

I read this book because my husband and I have become fans of the summer SyFy series Haven, and the credits state that it's based on this book. I'm not sure how--the series isn't over yet, so I'm assuming that the case that somehow involves Audrey's mom is the Colorado Kid story, but that's the only connection I've found between the book and the television show.

The book comes across as amateurish--definitely not the style readers have come to expect from Stephen King. I was hooked through most of it too, because it is quite interesting and kept me guessing as to what had happened. But then...no delivery. The reader is never given the conclusion and wrap-up. I know that is how the author wanted it, but I am all about closure and can't stand open-ended interpretation. Bleah.

Summary: "a true, unexplained mystery"

Now that was a mystery! A "true unexplained mystery." Usually I can't stand open ended books or books that end with a cliff hanger, but this one I loved. There is something about the way King crafts his stories, with such rich characters and details that draws you into the scene and makes you feel like you are sitting right there hearing the dialog, that I really enjoy. I found this story refreshing in that it dared to tell a story where the ends weren't tied up neatly, answering all the questions and then used that story to make a point and clarify the two types of storytelling.

I am very glad I started watching the TV show Haven, which motivated me to read this story that it is based on. It clarified for me why I can't stand books that are just "accounts of unfolding events" and end with cliff hangers. I get enough of that in real life when I escape while reading fiction I want a story with a beginning, middle and end. While this story may not have had answers to what happened it did provide a lesson and feel like a complete story of the characters telling the tale and hearing it.

Summary: "A short Noir Stephen King novel"

This short Stephen King mystery is a who dun it, why dun it, even when dun it-- to whom. Putting the pieces together is the fun, but their are no absolute answers. You might be able to create your own Murder Mysrtery Party at home based on this.
This novel is the basis for the tv show HAVEN, but the events of the book take place 20 or 25 years before the tv series.

Summary: "Colorado Kid book on CD"

I enjoyed the book. I ordered it because on the TV credits, it mentioned that the new SyFy program "Haven" was based on this story. Even though there was not a close connection between the book and the show, I enjoyed the mystery. The item was in very good condition and I was able to play it as soon as it arrived.

Summary: ""Colorado Kid"- the Anti-Mystery ?"

If ever a book could be called an "Anti-Mystery", it's "The Colorado Kid". At the end of the mystery, the detectives are still as baffled as when they started. There are enough unsolved mysteries in real life, we don't need fictional ones. I thought part of the fun of mystery novels is that the detective solves them in the end, "The Colorado Kid" doesn't do that plus there was no "mutant of the Week" as in the " Haven" TV series that is supposedly based on this book.
