Welcome!

This is the official blog for @itsablurbthing....our mission: to bring you honest and quirky reviews of both books and movies in the hope that they will either inspire you to purchase the book or see the movie or stay WELL clear of both! We may even surprise you with the daily 'In the World of Weird'.....so come on in the water's warm!

A new book, coming soon(ish) from debut author Chris Murray (LOKI - THE DEVIL ANGEL)

Please see below an extract from my debut novel that I am currently working on..... I would love to hear your thoughts, so please leave a comment below....

"The Kiron religion believe that the devil is the chief spirit of evil and adversary of god, temper of mankind, master of hell. God on the other hand is believed to be a supernatural being conceived as perfect, omnipotent, omniscient and the object of worship in monotheistic religions. But god also means any supernatural being worshipped as controlling some aspect of life or who is the personification of a force. So in philosophical terms the devil could easily be a god according to the latter definition, as like god himself the devil does control some aspects of life and is an personification of a force even though bad"....my name is John, I am 34 years of age and I'm a 'Loki' or for a better definition a 'Devil Angel', I of course don't know this yet but over the course of the next 24 hours I will get to find this out real quick! I'm also the only known link between the ancient Kiron & Eikon  sects so I guess I have some sort of deal with the devil? All I know is that I never asked or indeed wanted this life, but something's, I guess, are thrust upon you....this is my story....

Chapter 1

"Put that bloody book down and go and help ya mum with the shopping bags"....this is the last thing my dad told me before he walked out of the house, stinking of alcohol for yet another nights 'bender' with his 'friends', my dad bossed us around a lot, especially mum, who would routinely have arguments with doors and always come off 'second best'.....this night was different though there was a strange smell in the air (a smell I've never come across before), the kind of smell that takes over all your senses until you are paralysed to react. I've always had a keen sense of smell, even from a young age I could always smell things others could not, my mum put it down to me being a 'special boy', my dad put it down to me being a 'loki'. I never really understood what that meant, but what with my dad's aggression and drinking you learnt not to question and came to accept it 'as dads way'.....
