FEED – Mira Grant
I read the second book in Mira Grant’s “Newsflesh” series a few years ago when it was in the voter’s packets for the Hugo award. I had liked it enough that I wanted to experience the whole series. I selected the series through my Audible subscription and made this my commute listening material. I really… Continue reading

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA – Philip J. Riley
THROWBACK THURSDAY This “Making of” book about “The Phantom of the Opera” is a tremendous resource and clearly a work of love by author Philip J. Riley. The term ‘classic’ is much over-used today, which possibly takes away from the importance of the meaning. To say that the 1925 film, The Phantom of the Opera,… Continue reading

THE BIG BRUSH-OFF – Michael Murphy
Over the course of the last two years I’ve read and reviewed over 200 books. I would say that most of them have been better than average and I’ve read some that have really interested me in some new authors and/or series’. But one of my absolute favorites is the ‘Jake & Laura Mystery’ series… Continue reading

THE FLYING CIRCUS – Susan Crandall
Ever since I saw the movie The Great Waldo Pepper, I’ve been fascinated by the idea of barnstorming and the transient, circus-like life those people led, and so I was very interested in reading Susan Crandall’s The Flying Circus. WWI pilot Charles “Gil” Gilchrist is flying around the country, barnstorming (selling airplane rides and performing… Continue reading

STAR TREK, VOLUME 11 – graphic novel
Clearly I’m letting a bit of my geekiness show through in that I am review a fair amount of Star Trek related books and graphic novels. I have to admit I enjoy the nostalgia of entering this world that I enjoyed so much back in the 1970’s. This particular graphic novel, Volume 11 in the… Continue reading

RED SONJA, VOLUME 3: THE FORGIVING OF MONSTERS – graphic novel
I am very impressed with the way Red Sonja has been written and illustrated lately. In this book, Volume 3: The Forgiving of Monsters, Sonja is made the most human I think I’ve ever seen her. And I liked it. In the first story in this volume, Red Sonja is cursed by a wizard so… Continue reading

THE AUTUMNLANDS – graphic novel
GRAPHIC NOVEL WEEK Autumnlands, Volume One: Tooth and Claw is a delightfully strange new graphic novel series by Kurt Busiek and Benjamin Dewey. Set in a different world where magic brought sentient life to the animal kingdom and most animals live in floating cities, the animals face a catastrophe as their magic fading and with… Continue reading

THE SHRINKING MAN – graphic novel
Sometimes you read something and you wonder why anyone thought it was a good idea to proceed. This is one of those instances. Richard Matheson’s novel of The Shrinking Man is a classic and anyone interested in the genre has likely either read the original or seen the film that was a Hugo winner in 1958… Continue reading

GRAPHIC NOVEL WEEK A teenage girl is about to kill herself by jumping from a hospital roof. She suffers from constant noise in her head that she can’t shut out or just make quiet. But just before she ends it all a man appears and takes her away. The girl is a telepath and she… Continue reading

THE SANDMAN: OVERTURE – graphic novel
GRAPHIC NOVEL WEEK Over the course of the last two, or even three decades, I can think of only two comic book series that people would comment on or reflect upon. One of those was Watchmen, the other, Sandman. In many ways, I believe Sandman helped propel creator/author Neil Gaiman to some prominence (though his… Continue reading
