About this deal
i’ve read 3 of eric’s works and i’m officially declaring myself a fan. i want to sit down with him, go inside his mind, maybe eat his brain idk. he can tell these haunting, intense stories in such few words (though, sometimes i do think some more words are needed such as the case with things have gotten worse but i think for this book, the short length is perfect) and the stories are always unique. i love this guy! Instead of focusing on developing the characters and allowing them convey depth and dimensions, he puts effort into over-embellishing his writing. Further, placing unnecessary emphasis on symbolism and extravagant horror. The tone comes across as shallow, elitist, and arrogant, rather than philosophical or unique. Pamela Wiggs from Romance ArkansasThe Eagles have been my favorite band forever! I love Joe Walsh and have albums of him! But Don Henley....those eyes dude, I love you I love all of you! Your music is the best! Thank you!!!

At the same time, the characters are vivid and well written. You care about Mara, and certainly develop strong feelings (whatever those might be) about the cast of characters that makes their way into her home. The story touches a lot on loss and broken families. Any "least favorite child" can find some painful truths in this book. Ken from Louisville, KyAlmost from the moment the song was released, people pointed out to Henley that wine is NOT a distilled spirit. At first he admitted making a mistake with that part of the lyrics. But after a while, he got so tired of people pointing that out, he would defiantly reply that these were HIS lyrics and he could call it anything he wanted. And the lyrics were almost completely Henley's. Frey helped with the shaping and editing of them, and finished a few lines that Henley had trouble with. We Can Never Leave This Place is a bleak and tender, monstrous and visceral fable of family and loss, and the courage it takes to confront them both." Kathe Koja, author of The CipherThe warnings/insights/truths within the song are straight from the collective unconsciousness (CU). Truly Hell is a place of Ambush. For the transgressors a place of destination: they will dwell therein for ages. Holy Quran Chapter 78: 21 to 23
Just as he expected not a surprise at all, think he means going to another place in his mind, or if he got stabbed they have to prove their innocence) Addiction to marijuana is something I've never ever seen, and the amount of weed that my friends and I smoked in our youth is greater than what some of you weigh. So those that speak of withdrawal do not have any personal experience whatsoever. This is a story about grief and tragedy in the wake of still unfolding terrors, so the personal loss in the midst of war metaphoric setting is very apt. I read We Can Never Leave This Place as an ongoing existential crisis on multiple levels, an exploration of someone whose life is imploding catastrophically on multiple levels and filling up with literal and figurative excrement. A precocious young girl with an unusual imagination is sent on an odyssey into the depths of depravity. After her father dies violently, young Mara is surprised to find her mother welcoming a new guest into their home, claiming that he will protect them from the world of devastation and destruction outside their door.It’s a portrait from a nightmare that will make your hairs raise and skin literally crawl. A fever dream of epic proportions. This one will have you scratching your head and thinking to yourself : what did I just read, dear heart? Was this just a bad trip that felt like reality was shattering?
