VIROLOGY – Ren Warom
I had no idea that this was the second book in a series until I went to grab the image from Goodreads to add to the blog. Now I understand! I understand why I didn’t enjoy this book. I was missing some vital parts of the story! I also hadn’t realized, when I requested a… Continue reading

THE PRICE OF THE PHOENIX – Sondra Marshak & Myrna Culbreath
STAR TREK WEEK In 1977, when this book was first published, we Star Trek fans were still hungry for anything we could get that was Star Trek related.

THE LAST MAN – Mary Shelley
CLASSICS WEEK Prior to this the only thing I’ve read by Mary Shelley was Frankenstein and so I thought I might broaden my reading horizons by checking out some of her other works. Given the premise here and how sci-fi it seems, I thought this might be a good place to start. The Last Man narrates the story… Continue reading

VAMPIRELLA/RED SONJA VOL. 1: THESE DARK SYNCHONICITIES – graphic novel
VAMPIRE WEEK It only makes sense to put two of the sexiest female comic book characters (or at least the two female comic book characters with the sexiest outfits) together in one book. Red Sonja, the bikini chain-mail clad barbarian finds herself in the future and Vampirella, the alien from Drakulon, finds herself in the… Continue reading

SHOCKING PINK – Stuart Canterbury
The adult movie industry (aka ‘porn’) is a billion dollar industry, meaning there are a lot of people watching (and paying to watch) porn. But few people really know the industry – the ins and outs and what happens off-screen. Travis Lazar is a porn producer and Tiffany West is the hottest actress in the… Continue reading

ALEXANDER OUTLAND: SPACE PIRATE – G.J. Koch
Alexander Napoleon (“Nap”) Outland is the captain of the Space Vessel 3369 – or, the “69” for short. He’s the best pilot in the galaxy, according to the book blurb. So is he captain, or pilot? Both? He’s also a pirate and smuggler and he’s left a string of women throughout the galaxy both loving and… Continue reading

THE EXHIBITIONIST – Charlotte Mendelson

BIG ETHEL ENERGY – graphic novel
Ethel Muggs was a graduate of Riverdale High, alongside some of its better known students, such as Archie Andrews, Jughead Jones, Veronica Lodge and Betty Cooper.

THE SKRAYLING TREE – Michael Moorcock
Elric in America? Heck yeah! This should be good! We learned in the previous book in this trilogy (The Dreamquest Trilogy) that Elric has become a non-corporeal being and can inhabit other planes of the Multiverse (if this sentence is already too strange for you, then this book is definitely not for you). Let’s see… Continue reading
