I guess if you create a wildly successful new take on Arthurian legend, and your fans decide to adopt the religion you created* for the book, it makes sense to write yourself and your fans some new holy texts under the guise of science fiction. I mean, it’s the L. Ron Hubbard thing to do, and that seems to have worked out very well. (*I believe Bradley did research druidism, but it’s not like there’s a lot of living Druid from the time of the […]
A Better Piper
I’m assuming everyone has watched the Netflix series by now. Because if you haven’t, then I don’t understand what you are doing with your life. Do you not like being happy? Do you not liking having nice things? The show and the book are very different. But, if you were shying away from picking up the book because Nexflix Piper is a tool, Book Piper is much, much better (as is Book Larry, not that that is much of a feat). But there’s also more of […]
The Story is More about the Hangman Than His Daughter
I don’t know why you title your book The Hangman’s Daughter and then make the main character the hangman, but that’s what happened here. It didn’t ruin the book for me, but every time the daughter appeared, I got my Nancy Drew on and combed the pages for clues, because, surely, as the titular character, something about her must be the key to this murder mystery. That was not the case. A bit about hangmen in the 1600s: Jakob Kuisl, the hangman in our story, […]
A Swing and a Miss
Fitzhugh’s Pest Control and Heart Seizure were hilarious and fantastic. Then I hit Organ Donors and figured it must have been a fluke of not great writing. Then I read Fender Benders and now I don’t know if the good ones or the bad ones are the flukes. Or maybe I just really hate country music and that influenced my opinion on this one. Eddie Long is determined to be a country music star, at any cost, but after years of playing dive bars and […]
Same Bartimaeus, Different Century
I think I read the original Bartimaeus trilogy back in Cannonball IV. It’s definitely a series you need to read before trying to get into this one, which is a prequel. If you have read the series before, you know that humans bind demons to do their bidding, which doesn’t make demons very enamored of humans and on more than one occasion, a demon has found a loophole in his contract and eaten his slaver. Bartimaeus fancies himself as the best demon to ever demon, […]
If Dead Zombie Presidents Don’t Tickle Your Fancy Then You Might be Dead Inside
I don’t even know where to begin with this book. It’s got zombie presidents, people. Zombie Taft, Zombie Washington, Zombie Roosevelts, you get the picture. There’s also the ghost of Ben Franklin, being a creepy perv ghost that we all knew he’d be too. Also, chimichangas! So due to the poor PR of Captain America decapitating a dead zombie president, SHIELD has to call in some less than stellar hero to take care of the walking dead presidents. Enter Deadpool, the merc with a mouth, […]
