Bingo Square Round 2: The Book Was Better Due to some last minute work schedule changes, I wasn’t able to go see the movie yet as planned but should be making up for that in the next few days. As a result, I can’t quite say if the book or the movie was better but I expect it might be one of those where I enjoy the movie more because of the cast. There are also quite a few descriptions of visual that I think […]
Crimson Word Vomit
For ease of reading, here are our handles’ abbreviations: crystalclear – CC faintingviolet – FV Ale – just Ale (you’re welcome) CrystalClear: So, this is all my fault. I decided to rent Crimson Peak for movie night, mainly to see Tom Hiddleston’s ass. And while it was indeed a glorious sight, the rest of the movie was not worth it. My memory is absolute shite, so here’s what I remember of the movie before delving into the book: We have the girl, who played […]
I would have done it, too, if it weren’t for…
The What If of this book can be summed up as: What if Mystery, Inc., had actually tangled with chthonic beasts and didn’t realize it until their mid-twenties? What I thought of Meddling Kids? Well, that’s a bit of a mystery, too.
Episode 1-38: I Punched Satan!
https://killingmykindle.com/2018/10/10/episode-1-38-i-punched-satan/ Wherein I review: 144. The Fall of the House of Cabal (Johannes Cabal #5) by Jonathan L. Howard 145. Post Captain (Aubrey & Maturin #2) by Patrick O’Brian I bid adieu (temporarily, dark forces willing) to my favorite necromancer and I continue the swashbuckling seafaring adventures of Captain Jack and his doctor pals. And I continue to bust through two other wonderful but long books.
And Then There Were Satanists … The Legacy
The Legacy, by John Coyne, is a mixture of an Agatha Christie whodunnit, as members of a house party are knocked off one by one, and an occult thriller. It’s not always clear how much of the menace is due to dark magic or just plain old greed, as six people have been elected to inherit a legacy — of vast wealth, property, and possibly, supernatural power. Coyne wrote the novel as a tie-in to the successful film starring Katharine Ross and Sam Elliot (and […]
A Couple of Friends Fumbling Their Way Through a Not-Quite-Zombie Apocalypse Situation
I previously read John Dies at the End by David Wong about two years ago, and just now remembered that there was a sequel to it after my friend mentioned that I could borrow her copy should it ever be returned to her from a previous reader… I myself ended up checking this book out of the library not a single day before my friend got her own copy handed back to her literally right in front of my own two eyes. Isn’t that coincidental… […]
