1990 - Mine v4
Robert R. McCammon
Amazon.com Review
Robert McCammon asks, "What happened to those children of the sixties who learned the language of hatred, who swore oaths upon their bloodstained manifestos and vowed to never give up?" About went on to other lifestyles. But Mary Terrell, a.k.a. "Mary Terror," did not change. Her insanity deepened into schizophrenia, and in the late '80s she even so calls herself "freedom fighter for those without rights in the Mindfuck State." Hallucinating, heavily armed, and possessed by the delusion that an infant son will restore the good ol' days with her ex-lover, Mary steals a baby. But the child'due south female parent is a strong, resourceful adult female, and she recruits an ex-radical to help her. What ensues is a hair-raising chase beyond the American Midwest in winter, toward a last confrontation in which both "mothers" proclaim, "He'southward mine." Not only is Mine an intense horror novel (winner of a Bram Stoker Honour), but refreshingly, all three chief characters are women.
From Publishers Weekly
A psychotic leaves a trail of murder victims in her wake after she kidnaps a newborn child and goes off to join a revolutionary group to which she belonged during the '60s. Although McCammon portrays his left-fly characters as motivated by adolescent rebellion rather than by radical politics, "he delivers an expertly constructed novel of suspense and horror," said PW.
