"...she knew how easily those you opened yourself to could slide the unseen blade of betrayal between meat and bone."Lines like the one above are what set Lee Thompson in a category of his own. The diction and language have an almost fairy tale kind of quality, but despite the more formal tone and style, the action is constant and moves the story along quickly.Thompson infuses each of his works with a unique voice that belongs to each individual character and one will never be mistaken for the other. "Gossamer" is a mythical, almost philosophical book that strips the reader naked and forces us to challenge our assumptions about love with passages that will touch you in places inside yourself you forgot exist. It's difficult to describe the beauty of Thompson's prose, as it has to be experienced in order to be truly felt, but reading "Gossamer" is like drinking a rich wine. It's opulent and Thompson makes each word count.  If you haven't already added Lee Thompson's works to your bookshelf, what are you waiting for?
