CBR13Bingo – Travel (Trigger Warning: sexual violence) One of my favorite tropes that happens in movies is when a character starts to realize that maybe their nextdoor neighbor is a vampire or whatever, and so they go to the library and get some giant book about vampires, and in one chapter there’s all the relevant information right there, and even a few illustrations to go with it that looks almost exactly like the character we’ve seen on screen. Crazy! Recent movies and books have of […]

Her eyes and mouth have been sewn shut. The wife has hung a dish towel over the […]

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 22/30 I liked this, but I’m having trouble remembering what happened in it, and I only read it two or three days ago. I also haven’t quite yet caught what this story is *about*. Lucifer was one of my favorite parts of Sandman. What he did in that series was so audacious, it delighted me. I wanted to see how Mike Carey (and Peter Gross) would follow that up. This volume hasn’t really answered that for me yet, and […]

You know those moments when you’re battling a fever, you’re in and out of fitful sleep, and you’re not entirely sure what is real and what is imagined? Those fever tinged experiences that you just want to be over but time stretches way beyond what it should be allowed to stretch? That was what reading Bunny was like. Samantha is a Narrative Arts graduate student at Warren, a prestigious university known for its experimental approach to both pedagogy and writing style it tries to pull out […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
