Woman in White – Kristin Dearborn

What is the woman in white? Ahh…that is a very good question and the answer is a slippery one. Just when you think you have it, it gets away from you. Rocky Rhodes, Maine. Yes, it is a goofy name for a town and the inhabitants know it and make fun of it. It isContinue reading “Woman in White – Kristin Dearborn”

Salvage – Duncan Ralston

Bunny Sneaks – William Meikle

Do you ever wonder what the hell you had just read? I’m shaking my head wondering the same thing at this very moment. Bunny Sneaks is an odd short story. It’s not scary. It isn’t realistic. It doesn’t even feel like satire. It feels like a watered-down scene from Child’s Play and instead of ChuckyContinue reading “Bunny Sneaks – William Meikle”

Things We Fear – Glenn Rolfe

This review pains me to write. I’ve read and reviewed Rolfe’s Blood and Rain, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I can say the same for his Boom Town. Unfortunately, I can’t give my seal of approval for Things We Fear. I don’t feel like I’d be doing anyone a favor by sugar-coating my honest opinion, soContinue reading “Things We Fear – Glenn Rolfe”

Skinshift – Lisa von Biela

Dominic has been left for dead out in the desert by his cohorts after a simple pick pocketing job goes awry.

The Dead Zone – Stephen King

The Dead Zone was a re-read for me, as many will be as I go through The Stephen King Challenge, and I forgot how powerful this book was. King was really in fine form during this period in the late 1970s. Johnny Smith is a young teacher that has started to date Sarah, another youngContinue reading “The Dead Zone – Stephen King”

Hell’s Bounty – Joe Lansdale
