Merle Ginsberg co-authored Paris Hilton’s 2004 best-seller Confessions of an Heiress, and she isn’t sure whether her “author” ever read the final edit. Intimacy is the currency of memoir, and to preserve that feeling of direct access, the ghost’s job is, quite literally, to disappear.Įven it’s the celebrity who keeps disappearing. But while the rise of the celebrity memoir has, to some extent, softened the stigma associated with “collaboration,” the demands of marketing, personal branding, and political posturing still require many ghosts - and their methods - to stay in the shadows.

(They slip through wormholes in space to biro heaven when nobody is looking.) It even found room for an explanation of where ballpoint pens vanish to. Instead of giants, pygmies and super-intelligent horses, it was populated by bug-eyed monsters who use poetry as a form of torture, creatures whose chromosomes are so unstable that they evolve several times a day, and super-intelligent shades of the colour blue.

Some minor swearing includes "s-t" in Japanese - a five-page glossary explains this and lots of other Japanese terms, mythological creatures, clothing, and more. All other mature content seems incredibly mild by comparison: two men kiss, the same men drink saki, and older characters smoke. Zombies attack, too, with one innocent fisherman killed, and many body parts flying. One ambush is mostly arrows, with two deaths of people close to the main characters. Bodies of mostly demonic creatures are torn apart by swords - beheaded (so many heads rolling), sliced in half (one described as "split skull to groin"), arms sliced off (some magically regrown, one eaten by a ravenous floating head), a spine pulled out, a heart pulled out and crushed. Expect lots more gore in Soul of the Sword than in Shadow of the Fox. It's set in a magical version of feudal Japan with creatures out of Japanese folklore, including one of the main characters, Yumeko, who is half-fox, half-human. Parents need to know that Soul of the Sword is the second in the Shadow of the Fox series by Julie Kagawa, the best-selling author of the Iron Fey series.
