WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE UNDERPANTS by Carl Sternheim (updated by Steve Martin)

I’m unfamiliar with the original play by Sternheim, but I absolutely loved PURE DRIVEL by Martin. It sounds like a good, dirty time, so I’m all in.

WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE DOORKEEPERS by Graham Masterton

A while ago, I was lucky enough to be in an anthology with Mr. Masterton. While my story was favorably reviewed by FANGORIA, I have to say that my favorite tale in the book belonged to him, not to me.

WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY by Erik Larson

I got this book a while ago, when I was still into serial killers. My interest has waned considerably, but I’m still into history. I have high hopes for this one.

WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE POLICY by Bentley Little

WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE JERICHO SANCTION by Oliver North and Joe Musser

Many years ago, I bought this book for the sole purpose of meeting Ollie North. Why would I meet a guy like that? Well, for one, whether you like him or not, he’s a historical figure, and it was very

WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE WALKING DEAD: THE FALL OF THE GOVERNOR PART 2 by Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga

With each of these books, I’ve had a feeling that I wasn’t going to enjoy them. So far, they’ve proved me wrong. However, now we’re into territory that the comic book already covered. I get the feeling now that I’m
