There’s absolutely no reason why I should like or even love this book. In fact, I’m not going to recommend it to anyone I’ve ever met (on the Internet or in real life)…ever…because I don’t want to be judged on this book. John Dies at the End is uneven, it definitely feels like something someone published piecemeal on the Internet before it was picked up by a publishing company (oh wait, it was), it needs a much better editor because there are issues with a […]
Get ready for a lock-in from Hell.
If you were to toss Silent Hill, Event Horizon, The Shining, Office Space, House on Haunted Hill (the 1998 remake), and an IKEA catalog in to blender what would come out is probably very similar to Horrorstör. Less like a novel and more like a movie, this horror-adventure is fast paced, funny, scary and disturbing. Also a heck of a lot of fun! If you are a fan of the movies and games listed above than seek this one out immediately. Amy is an aimless […]
Down in the Meat
I thoroughly enjoyed this series and plan to re-read it. Nanotechnology, mind control, global domination, wheels within wheels, double crosses and the grotesque reality of the human body as ecosystem. Wonderful. BZRK is set in the near future. We start with Sadie and Noah, two kids from totally different worlds. Noah is hand-to-mouth in London, reeling from the loss of his big brother to mental illness. Sadie is wealthy in New York, on a date at Big Sporting Event. In one of the most interesting […]
Ghouls and Gods in Dreamland
Johannes Cabal is a necromancer, and one day three men appear with an offer. Messrs. Shadrach, Corde, and Bose want to hire him as their guide into the Dreamlands in order to find and destroy the Phobic Animus, the source of all fear. The Dreamlands are an alternate reality accessible to dreamers, poets, philosophers, and those under the influence of mind-altering substances. Dreamlands are full of beauty and wonder, but visitors are equally likely to meet monsters and nightmares of epic proportions. Cabal accepts this […]

The twist is that the vampire is NOT the merciless serial killer
2.5 stars Ah, the joys of reviewing something you read in about an hour about two weeks ago and that didn’t make that much of an impact. I’m sorry, but I have to once again resort to the lazy/forgetful reviewer’s trick of using the Goodreads summary: One’s a natural-born killer – a remorseless hunter gleefully prowling the night for victims to quench an unnatural blood lust. The other’s a vampire. His centuries of existence have left him world weary and detached, until one day his […]
