We Disappear

[ajb5592]

I got to meet Scott Heim! He came to my school!

[TakeruxN]

man i cant wait to read this book! it sounds really good! i've already read Mysterious Skin & In Awe.

[sapphireXsecrets]

Awesome video to complement the story.

I just finished the book yesterday. Honestly, I couldn't put it down. The descriptions and dialogue were always vivid, yet never over the top. And the ending stuck out the most to me - it was a brilliant and memorable way to end the story. I'd definitely recommend the book to anyone.

Anyone know the title of the Cindytalk song playing in the trailer?

[dlg73]

The Cindytalk song is "In This World" It is the last song on their album IN THIS WORLD.

[LipsLikeSugar78]

This piece does a great job of setting the tone of the book; the tireless journey seeking truth, the faces of the lost, the cold, stark Kansas winter, the unlocking of secrets. Scott Heim tells a beautiful story of death, addiction & of course, the missing; one so full of despair, that I found myself having to set it down at times. His evolution as a writer is clear & impressive. Chapter twelve is pure heartache. Oh, chapter twelve... :(

you just can't please some folk,eh.books don't have trailers therefore books ought never to have trailers.brilliant.all back to the primordial sludge then.after you,nazard513...

[TheSpaceHeater]

Young Man Of Blair Street. Please forgive those from the primordial sludge, they need the attention so they write the stuff of nonsense.

Back to my tower...

[nazard513]

Since when do books have trailers? That's kind of insane. Not only that, but the trailer and synopsis both paint the novel as some kind of mystery or suspense. Maybe I'm missing the point, but it seems the book is not ABOUT missing children, rather the ideas are expressed THROUGH a plot which involves missing children. "We Disappear" is not more about disappearances than "Mysterious Skin" is about horror movies, cicadas, and peaches in jars; or "In Awe" horses, corn syrup, and El Caminos.

What a great mood piece! Captures the spirit of the book.

[stopthatracket]

why haven't more authors done this sort of thing?

[dreamfetus]

Scott Heim rocks and I am completely surprised and excited by this release!

[jackshamama]

I was promised footsex. There's no footsex.

[MillingGowns]

Hopefully my copy will arrive soon. Excellent choice of music as well, I'm going to be listening to cindyTalk endlessly now I'm sure.

[scorpio0469]

I'm curious about the artist doing the music. Can anyone enlighten me. It's as haunting as Gary Jules doing "Mad World" and Moby's "Porcelain".

Cindytalk is the band. The creation of Scotland-born singer and musician Gordon Sharp, who is also known for singing on the first album by 4AD project This Mortal Coil and a Peel Session with the Cocteau Twins. Some of Cindytalk's back catalogue has recently been re-released, and it sounds as groundbreaking and amazing as ever.

[scorpio0469]

Thank you SO much for the detailed information. I will definitely check it out

[JeramyEdison]

Well this was a welcomed surprise. I wish all authors would go to such lengths to promote their books. Sounds promising...

[lohowe]

I would expect nothing less from a creative giant. I miss you and look forward to capturing this adventure. Hugs my dear friend.

[rhondaar]

Very cool. & Thanks for using Cindy (unlike Mysterious Skin which didn't, but I'm sure that wasn't your doing).

[skatty1968]

Superb, Scott! There's this kind of lonely urgency about it that both whispers and sizzles--and demands that the book be out now! Can't wait for this long-awaited follow-up to "Mysterious Skin." --ScottY in Portland, ME

[lucasmire]

Love this! Go Scott!

[mikebmcnally]

Gorgeous video. But according to Amazon, the book isn't set to come UK-wards any time soon. Put me out of my misery and let me know when it's to be published over here, please???

[rsiasoco]

Super cool. Whose hand is that? I think I recognize it...

[MeganKelleyHall]
