Forms of Heaven: Three Plays by Clive Barker

| Author | Fred Burke |
| ISBN | 1560600284 |
I only own this book as part of an overall geekdom for Clive Barker, and don't really imagine it would be in my library of art books otherwise. While his artwork is interesting as a part of the greater mythology of Barker's work, I don't really find it particularly compelling.
The book itself does an...

Read: November 2017
Rating: 4/5 stars
This was a funny, very British A-Z dictionary of how to survive a zombie apocalypse. It is not a book to read in one sitting as it would get very repetitive, but instead something to pick up and read an entry from over the course of a few days or weeks. As someone...

| Author | Una McGovern |
| ISBN | 0550104267 |
I got the impression that the person who wrote this pasted together most of the information from the internet, without going into much depth or putting much passion into it. I was hoping this book would have actual instructions on how to make some of the crafts mentioned, at least at a beginner's level....
