When I find a book I love, I have issues putting it down. It's always been like that. Such was the case with Leonard Kinsey's follow up to The Dark Side of Disney, Our Kingdom of Dust. I'm a big fan of Leonard's first book and have been anxiously awaiting this release since he announced it. I downloaded the novel to my nook last night and finished it in less than 24 hours.
The story of a young man who flees to "The Most Magical Place on
Earth" when he feels he has no where else to go, he turns to the place
of his fondest childhood memories in hopes of solace only to discover
things aren't quite as they seem or as he remembers. Our Kingdom of Dust is not your average Disney bedtime story and this certainly isn't precocious Tink's particular brand of Fairy Dust.
The cast of characters is portrayed by what I can only describe as twilight zone versions of some of The Walt Disney World Resort's most beloved and unsung heroes. It's a dark and twisted, and sometimes very humorous tale that any Disney fan with a darker side can appreciate on many different levels. Leonard brings back flashbacks of terror that many a Disney fan can relate to and pays tribute to the place that so many adore on a much more grown-up level.
This definitely isn't your typical fairy tale, but it's certainly an entertaining one.
