"She narrows her green eyes at Willem. "If you rape or murder my friend, I will kill you." Willem tsk-tsks "You Americans are so violent. I'm Dutch. The worst I will do is run her over with a bicycle." Or murder her, like van der Sloot killed Holloway." — Mar 27, 2013 06:24pm

"How did I not notice before now how boring Pierce's writing is? Beka 'n' friends just travel from one place to another, investigate, go to another place, wait around for a while, go somewhere else, only to go somewhere else immediately after that. None of the details are remotely interesting and the new romance is bland as unbuttered toast--I thought for sure Rosto was going to get his day in the sun." — Mar 27, 2013 01:58pm

"Some of the craziest crap I've ever read. The strangest part is every word within the pages of this book is true. Detroit is a trip. Fun fact: I currently live less than a mile away from where the author grew up." — Mar 25, 2013 01:32pm

Violence, morbid humor, disgusting descriptions... Yeah, this book has all of that and more, which is why I enjoyed it so very much. 4 stars. (An honest to goodness review to be posted soon.) |

The Blue Blazes is hard-boiled Lovecraftian fun. It is violent and vulgar--and if you have never read Chuck Wendig before you should know that that is meant as praise, not condemnation. If you have read Wendig before, you already have an idea of w...

is 61% done with The Blue Blazes: Gah! Goblin eggs! Friggin' disgusting! Thank you Mr. Wendig, I'll never get that image out of my head, and now I cannot stop itching my entire body. This is so much worse than Colburn feasting on Ambrosia (which was awful but oddly hilarious). My life iz ruin!!!!1

“I roll my eyes. "So when did I become so special? When they carted me off to the Capitol?"
"No, about six months before that. Right after New Year's. We were in the Hob, eating some slop of Greasy Sae's. And Darius was teasing you about trading a rabbit for one of his kisses. And I realized...I minded.”
