Is there really more to say than "collaboration between Alice Cooper and Neil Gaiman"? This story had very Stephen King-esque qualities to it - definitely the nostalgia for youth and the allure of dark magic. The illustrations were so rich, it was easy to forget it's only black and white. From the decaying theater where you could smell the musty velvet curtains to the brisk fall small town streets where leaves and wind cut our protagonist's thin frame, this book managed to evoke the particulars of each place with enough realism to make the fantasy even more so. Great Halloween read. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76251287 Out on the Edge: America's Rebel Comics (Paperback) by Mike Player

bookshelves: alexia
Few books make my jaw drop, but this is one of them. Brooks explores a hypothetical outbreak of zombieism through the lens of sociology and geopolitics. How would China react? How would it affect Israeli and Arab relations? What becomes of the American celebrity/media machine? The way these scenarios play out, related to a journalist from survivors of this last "world war," reveals so much more about human nature than just a zombie's lust for brains. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74929302 to: So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (Hitchhiker's Guide, #4) by Douglas Adams
