Robert McCammon 128kbps, Swan Song is rich with such characters as an ex-wrestler named Black Frankenstein, a New York City bag lady who feels power coursing from a weird glass ring, a boy who claws his way out of a destroyed survivalist compound. They gather their followers and travel toward each other, all bent on saving a blonde girl named Swan from the Man of Many Faces. Swan Song is often compared to Stephen Kings The Stand, and for the most part, readers who enjoy one of the two novels, will enjoy the other. Like The Stand, its an end-of-the-world novel, with epic sweep, apocalyptic drama, and a cast of vividly realized characters. But the tone is somewhat different: The good is sweeter, the evil is more sadistic, and the setting is harsher, because its the world after a nuclear holocaust. Swan Song won a 1988 Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel. Its a monster of a horror book, brimming over with stories and violence and terrific imageryGod and the Devil, the whole works.
