Danse Macabre

Author

Stephen King

Before he gave us the “one of a kind classic” (The Wall Street Journal) memoir On Writing, Stephen King wrote a nonfiction masterpiece in Danse Macabre, “one of the best books on American popular culture” (Philadelphia Inquirer).

From the author of dozens of #1 New York Times bestsellers...

Gormenghast

Author

Mervyn Peake

Titus Groan is seven years old. Lord and heir to the crumbling castle Gormenghast.

Harrow County, Vol. 2: Twice Told

Author	Cullen Bunn
ISBN	1616559004

Evil twin!
Yeah, it's been done to death, but it's still a fun trope.



Ok, so this was one of the many times when irony kicked me in my tits. Just as soon as I gave up on the library ever finding their missing copy of this volume (it had been in book limbo for 3 or 4 months), and decided to go...

Titus Alone

Author	Mervyn Peake
ISBN	0345730097

Titus Alone has the charms and eccentricities, the verbal and visual beauties of its two formidable predecessors, but it is only about half as long as they are, with extremely short chapters, and it lacks their concentrated richness, their depth and perspective.

Is it a radical departure,...

Harrow County, Vol. 3: Snake Doctor

Author	Cullen Bunn
ISBN	1506700713

I think the first thing I should mention is that I haven't been able to read volume 2 of Harrow county yet. Apparently, something happened to my library's copy, so after a few months of waiting...? Yeah, I just decided to go ahead and read this anyway.



But even without having read the previous...

Harrow County, Vol. 4: Family Tree

Author	Cullen Bunn

A little of the spooky stuff near Halloween never hurt anyone, right?



Family Tree is exactly what it sounds like, and we all get to find out a bit more of Emmy's past and where her bloodline comes from.
And it turns out, she has a family that's just as fucked up as everyone else's.



There's...

Kids like Gus have a price on their heads.
Seven years ago, the Affliction raged like a forest fire, killing billions. The only children born since are part of a new breed of human-animal hybrids. Gus is one of these children, a boy with a sweet soul, a sweeter tooth-and the features of a deer.

Harrow County, Vol. 6: Hedge Magic

Author	Cullen Bunn
ISBN	1506702082

Well, well, well: The sixth volume of the harrowing Harrow County comes into my hands, just in time for Halloween, heh heh heh. Emmy is a good witch in this creepy but also somehow tender southern gothic tale, protecting her town, trying to keep her haints in control. Until now, when friend Bernice loses...
