Carrion Comfort is a ridiculously entertaining novel.

I favor Carrion over Hyperion and find myself repeating Sheriff Bobby Joe Gentry's line "I like junk" quite often.

Hyperion is the better novel but Carrion Comfort is just really exciting and creepy. And the way the mind controllers treated regular humans like toys hits far too close to home now.

Oh absolutely, I don't want to spoil anything but (to sound like a nutcase for a second) if there is an Illuminati then I think they were avid readers of Carrion.

Apropos given your username XD

lol, I never really thought about that but given recent revelations it does almost seem like they were using it as a template.

I still think about it relatively often. It took me almost a year to finish it between breaks to recover.

Yeah, one of the bad guys even had a private island where he invited all his rich psychopathic friends.
