Honestly, Kes, where do you find all this shit? Do you have a Google alert for "corny blind tropes"?

Any way you achieve it, thanks for sharing.

I haven't needed to turn to Google alerts to find these books--they find me. I saw the title for this one posted with a request to review the book on a mailing list for a horror Web site.

Any book which uses the words "eyes" or "blind," usually along with some cutesy play on sight or vision, catches my eye, so to speak, because ninety percent of the time the book will have a blind protagonist, and ninety percent of the time the blind protagonists possess disability superpowers.
everywhere.
