Slacker Chip, who manages to get a job as a security guard for the FBI, grabs an old desk out of a warehouse and discovers an old journal… Continue reading

THE FIRESIDE GROWN-UP GUIDE TO THE HUSBAND – Jason Hazeley & Joel Morris
‘Tis the season for parody and humor. This is a quick read, offering up a few good chuckles. Based on an old book series, Ladybird Books based in the United Kingdom, this series cleverly uses the original illustrations from the mid-twentieth century and adds new story. You know what you’re getting in to with the… Continue reading

GOODNIGHT BATCAVE – Dave Croatto
Only MAD® Magazine can parody a classic and get away with it. Here MAD® takes on the children’s book classic, Goodnight Moon and mashes it up with Batman. It’s a short book (about 30 pages), just as the original Goodnight Moon is short. The art is quite typical of what you would see in one… Continue reading

THE JOLLY CORONER – Quentin Canterel
This was certainly one of the most interesting books I’ve read in quite some time. I’m not sure how one would define this. Quirky romance? Bizarre-o horror? Oddball thriller? I also don’t think I’ve ever gone through as much of a pendulum swing in liking/disliking a book, while reading it, as I did with this.… Continue reading

ONLY BEGOTTEN DAUGHTER – James Morrow
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEW A REISSUE I’ve only read one other James Morrow book (Towing Jehovah) and I’m not sure why that is. Morrow is a fantastic writer and, based on the now two books that I’ve read, he is incredibly original, funny, and dark. This book takes on Christianity, skewers it, and flips it on… Continue reading

WHO WANTS TO BE THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS? – Michael Boatman
I will admit that I was hesitant to request this book because I was not particularly fond of Last God Standing, author Michael Boatman’s previous book. But I think it’s only fair to give an author more than one read, and I typically really like the books published by Angry Robot. In Who Wants to… Continue reading

THE STORY OF PUCK: WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE – Michael Alexander Kahn and Richard Samuel West
The more things change, the more they stay the same. As I write this, the news has been full of reports on the Democratic and Republican stumping for the party nod in ten months and it has been an absolute zoo of presidential wannabees. Political satire today has a broader range as we have not… Continue reading

CLOWNFELLAS – Carlton Mellick III
Alright… so ‘bizarro’ fiction has become a “thing.” I mean … I know that there’s been bizarro fiction for a long time (I think I was writing it back in the 80’s), but it hasn’t always had its current classification (it was speculative fiction, with a twist back then). Now it’s its own genre. And… Continue reading

WITCHES PROTECTION PROGRAM – Michael Phillip Cash
What happens in the supernatural world if someone rats out someone else? They get placed in the witches protection program, of course. This is the basic premise. Wes Rockville is given one last chance to redeem himself in his law enforcement career. He’s bumbled almost every other assignment, but his father, and boss, grudgingly gives… Continue reading

THE MYSTERIOUS MICKEY FINN – Elliot Paul
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE It must be fun to work for Dover Publications and dig up some of these older books and offer them up for sale again. Many of their reissues are absolute treasures … but treasures that I hadn’t been familiar with beforehand. This is just such a case. Originally from 1939… Continue reading

AGENTS OF THE INTERNET APOCALYPSE – Wayne Gladstone
The Internet is dead and only one man can bring it back. Unfortunately, he’s in a psychiatric ward. While Gladstone has been out of commission, his best friend, Tobey, begins to spread the word that the Internet Messiah is back. With a little help, by releasing Gladstone’s private writings, Tobey creates a mystique that surprises them… Continue reading
