Happy to be on D. Alxander Ward’s blog. I appreciate him hosting me. There were many great writers that got their start on this blog. I believe Earnest Hemmingway guest blogged here once from Havana. Lovecraft guest blogged here many times until he offended too many people and was banned. Bukowski once wrote a blog post here that was just the F word repeated...

Review: The Visible Filth

Posted by on Jul 20, 2015 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

The Visible Filth by Nathan Ballingrud My rating: 4 of 5 stars I thoroughly enjoyed this novella from Nathan Ballingrud. There was a lot to love here. For me, the best writing is the kind that can be, in turns, brutally simple and achingly eloquent. Ballingrud pulls it off very well. There were some parts here that really had me so engrossed...

Review: Bird Box

Bird Box by Josh Malerman My rating: 5 of 5 stars In what was a gloriously quick read, Josh Malerman’s engrossing debut novel manages to do what many novels attempt to do but fail. It makes you forget that you are reading it. At least it did for me. There’s so much right about this book that you just need to go pick it up already....

The Boy Who Drew Monsters by Keith Donohue My rating: 5 of 5 stars Simply put, I adored this book. There’s just no denying it. I am a sucker for good old fashioned literary horror.
