![]() Something Leather is straight-up lechery. Lanark is not particularly dirty, but Gray’s superb second novel, 1982, Janine, is unambiguous filth, chronically the compulsive, unruly fantasies of a middle-aged man called Jock. Moreover, I was a feminist, and Gray was a sometime pornographer whose female characters barely scrape two dimensions. ![]() Gray displayed his politics with disarming plainness – he believed in Scottish independence and socialism I was a milksop unionist and social democrat. It is the kind of book that could look like proof of madness if it had never been published, a 600-page epic with elaborate illustrations (by Gray) and idiosyncratic typesetting, interlacing realist sections set in Glasgow with satirical fantasy set in a parallel city called Unthank, written in four books and starting with book three. (It arrived, like me, in 1981.) But Lanark is so entirely surprising that any first encounter with it is an encounter with the new. Obviously it was not: Alasdair Gray’s novel had been in the world for 23 years by then. When I read Lanark, it felt as if it was my discovery. ![]()

![]() I've always enjoyed his work, particularly one nasty little thriller, The 13th, which I recommend. Everson is a writer I first read in high school, with his pretty fun Stoker-winning title, Covenant. These include Jonathan Janz, Ramsey Campbell and Hunter Shea.Īnd this one, by John Everson. They've enlisted Don D'auria, reknown editor of several horror lines, most prominent being Leisure and Samhain to handpick the titles, as well as some top of the line authors to spear-head the operation. ![]() This is amongst the flagship titles of that endeavor, and they are doing it right. You see, The House by the Cemetery is my first taste of a new horror line to be widely distributed by Flame Tree Press, who seems to have made a name for themselves in other facets, before deciding to roll out their line of horror last month. Not at those retailers, but whatever brick-and-mortars remain. The best part is that it just might be exactly that. But it's a solid throwback to simple times, where one could traipse into a Borders or Waldenbooks and find a novel like this one by the dozen. It's not because the book is groundbreaking or great or remarkable. ![]() And The House by the Cemetery is my reason. ![]() ![]() ![]() The next thing she knows, tires screech and metal collides, everything goes black. Mentally melting down as she drives away from the cabin for the final time, Mae throws out what she thinks is a simple plea to the universe: Please. She’s living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job, and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions.īut perhaps worst of all, this is the last Christmas Mae will be at her favorite place in the world-the snowy Utah cabin where she and her family have spent every holiday since she was born, along with two other beloved families. It’s the most wonderful time of the year…but not for Maelyn Jones. One Christmas wish, two brothers, and a lifetime of hope are on the line for hapless Maelyn Jones in In a Holidaze, the quintessential holiday romantic novel by Christina Lauren, the New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners. ![]() ![]() ![]() A poetic interpretation like no other, Widow Basquiat is an expression of the unrelenting power of addiction, obsession and love. ![]() In emotionally resonant prose, award-winning author Jennifer Clement tells the story of the passion that swept Suzanne and Jean-Michel into a short-lived, unforgettable affair. Thus began a tumultuous and passionate relationship that deeply influenced one of the most exceptional artists of our time.

Maybe its because of the current pandemic, but these outlandish reactions didn’t seem too far off. This book is so well written!! The world is unique and dark but also relatable. Abortions are mandated to keep the unfit genes from breeding. Those deemed “unfit” are forcibly sterilized, made to do hard labor, and live across the water in the slums. Those deemed worthy receive the better jobs and live in the clean part of the city. In an effort to survive, the leaders split the remaining citizens into two groups based on their strengths and weaknesses. The story begins in a gritty world divided after a pandemic destroyed almost all of the worlds population. ![]() It’s also a little unnerving to be reading a post pandemic world novel in the middle of a world wide pandemic but it also made it feel more real. ![]() The book is a cross between Shawshank and Handmaids Tale, with a little Romeo & Juliet thrown in for good measure. Gosh, this was a great book! Unfit by Karma Chesnut is un-putdownable. ![]() ![]() ![]() The story, as usual, is well written and the narrator does a fabulous job. ![]() Let me start by saying I am a huge fan of this series, and if you are as well, this book is a must listen/read.
