How real is the the beast within?

Werewolf at Dusk: And Other Stories by David Small

October 16, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The beasts inside of us take many forms in the pages of Werewolf at Dusk: And Other Stories. Sometimes these beats are real and sometimes they are in our dreams. The three characters of these stories take journeys we might relate too, but also we will find something, too. David Small’s signature style artwork are characters themselves and support the stories. As I had a reader copy, I am assuming the illustrations will be black and white, but I think they were complete with the […]

Here a book, there a book, everywhere a book!

The Library by Sarah Stewart

September 4, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am sure I have not written a review of this before, but if I have, I am also fairly sure I have changed my opinion of The Library by Sarah Stewart and David Small. This book has rhyming text and sweet illustrations. It makes this not only a classic book in feeling but has kept it going since 1995. Making it a contemporary classic in my book. A story about a reader, the library (or libraries actually) she built, and a swell old gal […]

The graphic of the graphic novel

Stitches: A Memoir by David Small

August 12, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Stiches was part of my looking at the library shelves and coming home with three books. I lied when I had said I narrowed down the books from five, it was narrowed it down from seven. I had my eye on Watchmen and V is for Vendetta as well but when I saw a book by David Small (an illustrator I knew from children’s books) I figured, let’s go with that instead. Plus, the odd shape and the crazy zombies on the front just “spoke” […]

Hello My name is Raven and I am a book sniffer

This Book of Mine: A Picture Book by Sarah Stewart

May 24, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

This Book of Mine: A Picture Book by wife and husband team Sarah Stewart (one heck of a writer) and David Small (one heck of an illustrator) is a poetic look at the things we do with books: read, enjoy, chew, learn, even smell them. WHAT? You have never smelled a book? And you call yourself a bibliophile! All kidding aside, I was not expecting a lot of out this short book. Mostly because my inner kid kicked in when I saw the title and I thought “This […]
