Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time

The 200 pages left to read I’m guessing is more of the warped sameness

Human Remains: The Complete Series by Peter Milligan

by Leave a Comment

EDIT: I wrote the below yesterday, since then I started Chapter Two and I think I am now hooked. I’ve gotten to the point where I can include there are several trigger warnings including, but not limited to: Pandemic like situations, violence, sexual assault, sexuality, extreme blood/violence, religious content.  And a three for potential and how much I like/dislike the first chapter and half.   There is something perversely beautiful about the first chapter of Human Remains: The Complete Series. Especially towards the end when […]

Sinister tidings and true love

Crema by Johnnie Christmas

by Leave a Comment

Crema is the kind of graphic novel that I should like, but something was falling flat for me. Maybe it was the fact I have read a lot of graphic novels recently and it is time for a break. Or maybe I have read a lot of GLBTQ+ books (which are great, but sometimes I need to cleanse the palette). Maybe it is actually a bad book and/or story. Maybe I was in the wrong frame of mind while reading. Maybe I was in the […]

The Three S-s: spooky, sad, and a little bit sexy

The Wild Hunt by Emma Seckel

by 7 Comments

Honestly, what else could you need? If you are our Heroine Leigh Wells, you need quite a bit. You’ve been called back to your ancestral island home, far flung from the wild shores of Scotland. World War Two did not hit your home directly, but it stole many young men and sent very few back home. The few that returned are not who they once were. The island is not what it once was. The Sluagh (sloo-ah) still return every October, but every year they […]

Area 510 by Lee Loughridge

by Leave a Comment

I am assuming that Area 510 is book one in an “unknown amount” of a series by Lee Loughridge, Jay Faerber, Justin Greenwood, and Thomas Mauer (I am assuming Greenwood has illustrated this graphic novel, and Mauer is a big name in the community that I am unfortunately unfamiliar with). But despite any short comings I might have when it comes to knowing the people who created Area 510 (the zip code of the area the story takes place) this is a great start to […]

Don’t sit, don’t stay

Stray Dogs: Dog Days by Tony Fleeces

by Leave a Comment

Stray Dogs: Dog Days by  Tony Fleeces is a standalone story, but it would help to read the first book. This is the story of the dogs from the first graphic novel and how their side of things plays (or really does not play) out. These are the fill-ins of possible questions you might have had. Spoiler: these are the beloved pets of the woman that were killed in the first graphic novel, but it is also a psychological thriller. These short stories are how […]
