Horror Joe SchreiberYep you’ve seen this one here before. Todd wrote about this a couple months ago. It looked interesting enough I thought I would pick it up myself. While I’m in the process of reading a large series (Goodkind’s Sword of Truth), I like to take a break in between every couple books […]

Simon ClarkWell, what can I say about this…not really sure, it was nothing special. Not a bad story, but not really good either. Easy enough read so I didn’t bother putting it down but not really sure why I kept reading. Just not that memorable. Guess that’s all I have to say. 4/10

Dean KoontzThis was probably one of the best books read this year. Great story and great characters. I read most of this one in one sitting, just too hard to put down. Koontz is one of my favorite authors and this is one of my favorite books of his so far (real close to Life Expectancy). […]

Felix Castor Mike Carey The Devil You Know I didn’t know it until I just looked up this book on Amazon, but this author apparently has worked with Neil Gaiman and is a graphic novel publisher in his own right. I won’t hold the latter against him. Felix Castor is […]

This novel introduces Amy Redwing, an orphan that grew up to run a Golden Retriever rescue operation, and Moongirl, a character without an ounce of […]

I Am Legend Mad House Richard Matheson This book has sat on my shelf for some time now, and with the Will Smith movie coming out, I wanted to have my own imagination draw the pictures before someone else did it for me. The first half of the book is title […]

Horror Richard LaymonBack for more, I pulled out another of Laymon’s books. Once again it follows the pattern of the others I have read in that we need a violent murder(s), murderer trying to tie up loose ends, and somehow get as many people naked as possible. As a novel, not bad and actually […]
