Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
The Kindle edition of Murdered by Human Wolves is gone, and I’m told print publication of all The Werewolf Saga titles, as well as Seven Days in Benevolence, will end in about a week. After that, The Werewolf Saga will be pretty much unavailable, other than existing stock. Hopefully that’s a situation that won’t last…
Cup of Gold by John Steinbeck My rating: 3 of 5 stars I’d been looking forward to this book for years because it was John Steinbeck’s first novel and was just hard to find. Then one of my AP Literature students bought a copy for me. (No, it didn’t help his grade.) This was, well,…
The Road by Cormac McCarthy My rating: 4 of 5 stars Wow. I just finished this book moments ago. It’s an incredibly bleak but moving story about a father and son in a post-apocalypse wasteland. McCarthy doesn’t tell us what happened to the world, it simply is desolate, with roving bands of cannibals and lonely,…
The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday My rating: 3 of 5 stars I enjoyed this very short book, but I actually didn’t read it for pleasure. I used this book as a teaching tool in my AP English Language class. It worked very well as a tool for teaching students to look…
Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay My rating: 3 of 5 stars Overall, this was a good book. I never got so frustrated that I considered giving it up, but there were several spots where it dragged, where Kay seemed to drone on and on about things that weren’t all that important. If you’re into political…
It was with much reluctance and sorrow that I sent a letter to the owner of Scrybe Press last week withdrawing all my titles from that company. I think the publisher is a nice guy. I don’t think there was any malicious intent on either side in the events that led up to the termination…
This is pretty cool. After Obsession earned a four blue-ribbon review at Romance Junkies. Here’s just a little taste of what reviewer Chris had to say: A young adult paranormal series just ripe for the horror-obsessed, aficionados of the creepy, angst-loving teenager in all of us, AFTER OBSESSION sets the stage for what could easily…
The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist by Matt Baglio My rating: 3 of 5 stars If you come to this book expecting it to be anything like the Anthony Hopkins movie you’ll be very, very disappointed. There’s no red-eyed mule, no frogs, nobody strapped to a hospital bed, and no possessed mentor priest.…
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 5,500 times in 2011. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 5 trips to carry that many people. Click here to…
