Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
The Nations by Ken Farmer My rating: 2 of 5 stars Eh. The story itself wasn’t so bad, but Ken Farmer’s reading of the book made me want to slam my head against the steering wheel of my car. He typically paused after about every third word, often with a rising inflection as if he…
Cutthroat Trail by David R Lewis My rating: 4 of 5 stars The Urban Dictionary offers this definition for the term “book hangover”: “When you’ve finished a book and you suddenly return to the real world, but the real world feels incomplete or surreal because you’re still living in the world of the book.” I…
