THE MAN FROM O.R.G.Y. – Ted Mark

O.R.G.Y. WEEK I learned about this book (and the subsequent series) while reading another book about spy fiction. It is colloquially referred to as ‘sleaze fiction’ which I think is a poor moniker as it greatly limits the number of people who might ordinarily read it. The author, Ted Mark, has more than 20 books Continue reading

But do you recommend a 3 star book to friends and family? Tor Books has rereleased the book, now as a “Tor Essential” – meaning (from Continue reading

TISH PLAYS THE GAME – Mary Roberts Rinehart

I don’t know what I was expecting with this book (well … maybe I do) but this definitely wasn’t it. While I have never read a book by Mary Roberts Rinehart prior to this, it was my understanding that she was a mystery writer, so imagine my surprise at this collection of humorous short stories!

FANTASTIC TALES – Iginio Ugo Tarchetti

I know nothing about Iginio Ugo Tarchetti, but the description of these short stories sounded like something right up my alley. “Italian Gothic tales of obsessive love, mysterious phobias, and the hellish curse of everlasting life.” Yes, this sounds fascinating to me. And best of all … I really enjoyed these stories. Writing roughly around Continue reading

I was interested in this book based on this description: Never be lost for words again…with this book of lost words. Have you ever wanted to wield the silver tongue of Loki, or to hammer home your point like a Thundergod? Old Norse is the language of legends and the stuff of sagas, the inspiration Continue reading
