Gut check on my love for Matthew Scudder novels. Still intact. In fact. It's stronger than it's ever been. Lawrence Block is still one of the best in the business.
A novel you will thoroughly enjoy if you're bored of self-important crime fiction.
Anthony Neil Smith's new character Manny Jahnke is already back on the grind in Castle Danger: The Mental States and this one's as wild as Smith's ever been.
There is a little bit of everything to Glenn Gray's Transgemination, from Carl Sagan to B-movies. It's over before it starts but it's fun nonetheless.
Ed Kurtz' freaky Satanic horror novel The Rib from Which I Remake the World isn't just freaky and Satanic. It's also kind of smart.
A Collapse of Horses is my favorite short story collection by Brian Evenson. Read my review to find out why.

Ghosts are a hard sell in literature, but Peter Straub's ghosts are well-worth the time, effort and money invested.

Want to get creeped out for Halloween? If you're into H.P Lovecraft and cosmic horror, I've got the book just for you.

Why would you read about the demise of someone you don't know? Find the answer here.
I've always hard tough love for Chris Kelso's writing, but Shrapnel Apartments is the best thing he's offered yet. That books is smart, original and genuinely freaky.
Home owning anxieties, attic sludge monsters and symbolism? Sign me up! Ed Kurtz' novel Bleed is a lot of fun
Many have tried to crack the "murder is fine art" cipher in literature, television and cinema, but none have done it. Did Chris Kelso succeed at it with Unger House Radicals? Click to find out.
I'm sure you don't know who the hell Leland Pitts-Gonzalez is, but here is why you should read his short story collection Savage Anesthesia.
The sequel to Thomas Mullen's excellent Darktown is finally here and Lightning Men is a different kind of thrill. Read my review to know more.
The Tunnel Island novels (seem to) come to a close with Civil Twilight. All good things need to end sometimes, right? RIGHT?
I'm done with denial. Iain Ryan is one of the best authors we have working today and it's time for him to be celebrated as such. Get in the bandwagon!
