AuthorRikki Ducornet
ISBN0345441044
”In this state of rootless imagining, my mind seizes upon the most unexpected associations. Drops of fat suspended in my soup become the ocular devices of archons; a baneful spider stalking fleas exemplifies the pubic triangles of embalmed houris; a copple-crown turd warns of the Revolution’s...
The Stone Forest
AuthorKaren Harper
ISBN1551669099
Three words - Uninspiring, slow, and unromantic. This book was nowhere near as interesting as I'd thought it would be. I picked this one up at a Thrift store, and when I read the blurb on the back, I thought it looked fascinating, but it ended up being pretty damn boring.

The story at it's core was...

The Thief of Broken Toys
AuthorTim Lebbon
ISBN0981297897
I finished reading The Thief of Broken Toys this afternoon. It’s a short novel or a long novella packaged as a separate book (ISFDB calls it a Chapterbook). It’s also very good. As it’s a horror story I’m not quite sure I can say I enjoyed it, but I did find it mesmerizing.

The Thief of Broken...

Tremolo: Cry of the Loon
AuthorAaron Paul Lazar

Reminiscent of Stephen King's "The Body", but sweeter, "Tremolo: Cry of the Loon", is a beautifully crafted mystery, thriller, and coming-of-age novel. These elements merge, so that the suspense plot never becomes too gritty, the "end of innocence" story is never too mushy, and the mystery never...
