Book Review: Bathing the Lion by Jonathan Carroll
Jonathan Carroll’s latest novel, Bathing the Lion, opens with a relationship breakup. The breakup is described so vividly that the pain and tension is tangible and convincingly real. But this, along with the ultra-realistic scenes that follow, do not prepare the reader for what comes next. Picture a domestic-scale apocalypse with your world splitting beneath […]

Not because the book is bad, but because it turns out the collection only had two stories in it. Paying $20 for a hardcover that turned out to only […]
Book Review: DEAD OF NIGHT by Jonathan Maberry
Jonathan Maberry is a very talented writer. In a genre full of similar stories with cliche descriptions, Dead of Night was refreshing and scary.
