Dahl’s a weird motherfucker, for a kids writer. I’ve read some of his adult work before, and it can be pretty savage. This is a collection of 3 adult books he wrote, and I can’t wait to see how crazy…

WHAT I’M READING NOW: FIREWORKS by James A. Moore
I liked UNDER THE OVERTREE a lot more than I thought I would. This one should be a good read.
WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE APPRENTICE JOURNALS by J. Michael Shell
I’ve been reading Shell for quite some time, mostly stories he submitted to my old defunct fiction magazine. I even published him once in TABARD INN #3. Now it’s time to see how well he does in the long form.

I’ve read a few stories by Finney, and I liked them. However, I loved the shit out of THE BODY SNATCHERS. This will be the second novel of his I’ve read, and he’s gotten me hooked on the first page.…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE MUSEUM OF HOAXES by Alex Boese
Hoaxes always fascinate me, and this book looks pretty promising. It starts out with a gullibility test, which I think is pretty cool. I did well on it, too. Not perfect, but better than average, I would say. This one…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: NO SANCTUARY by Richard Laymon
Because, you know. Laymon, for fuck’s sake.
