American Dirt

I have to admit, I feel relieved that tonight’s American Dirt event at the bookstore was cancelled. By the publisher, so please don’t go pointing fingers at booksellers and crying censorship. We fielded a lot of phone calls from a lot of angry people, some threatening to boycott if we didn’t cancel the event, others threatening… well, something vague… if we did cancel the event. I didn’t personall

A Spectral Hue by Craig Laurance Gidney
"It's challenging to try and pin any solid genre labels on this debut novel from Craig Laurance Gidney. There are elements of magical realism, fantasy, and horror. At its core, an ancestral ghost story but swirling around this core, intimate and lyric" Read more of this review »

“Here was a place sacred to the dead, who were not the living ceased, but almost another species, requiring rites and prayers that belonged uniquely to them.”
Clive Barker, Cabal

“Putting down the devil was the Lord’s own sport.”
Clive Barker, Cabal

“The un-people, the anti-tribe, humanity’s sack unpicked and sewn together again with the moon inside.”
Clive Barker, Cabal

“What I do know is that I have never found clowns remotely funny. I am not alone in this, I think. More people find clowns disturbing or distressing rather than raucously amusing. Is it that the nature of human existence has changed so radically in the last century or so that what was funny to our grandparents and great-grandparents is now tragic or terrifying?”
Clive Barker, The Adventures of Mr. Maximillian Bacchus and His Travelling Circus

“I considered going off grid, but where was “off grid” anymore that didn’t require me to know how to kill an elephant seal and live off its blubber?”
Jeremy Robert Johnson, Skullcrack City
