Union City - published
As readers of the blog will be aware, my book on the 1980 film, "Union City", starring Dennis Lipscomb, Deborah Harry, Everett McGill, Irina Maleeva, and Sam Murray was recently made available for pre-orders. I'm glad to report that the book is now published and is shipping. This was an absolute labour of love for me. Look how beautiful it is!

| I enjoyed this story of an 'organic automaton' who arrives on Earth (specifically Glasgow) to report back on the shenanigans of ordinary people. It's a quick read with sections headed up by the names of Tarot cards. I have no knowledge of the Tarot s ...more | |

| This is a rollicking quick read with an extremely interesting premise (aside from the obvious one). Grimwood carves his characters in quick brushstokes and the action is relentless from the start. It feels like it was written as fast as it could be r ...more | |

| This is an excellent collection of short stories themed around one small (fictional) Norfolk village churchyard, running from the year 852 until the present day (depending on when you read this). This isn't normally my kind of read, but the detail, c ...more | |

| I enjoyed this read about the successive generations of a family and their relationship with the trees in their orchard. It reads as a prose poem, although sections are broken up by 'newspaper' articles which introduce each new section. The writing i ...more | |

| This is a truly startling, disturbing collection of short horror stories, endlessly inventive, and rarely heading in the direction you expect them to go. It feels as though Toase has reinvented what is usually quite a tired genre, with deft, occasion ...more | |

| This is a great collection of short stories (mostly SF tinged with horror), generally covering innumerable end of the world possibilities. Grimwood has a very direct way of writing, with characters who don't blithely sit back and watch the world coll ...more | |

| This is a capably told zombie story that includes an intriguing plot development which is never fully explored. Instead we lurch from one set piece to another amongst a set of characters who are rarely more than mildly interesting. There is a nihilis ...more | |

| When the introduction suggests that the 'text (is) quite unreadable in the ordinary way. It makes it repetitive beyond normal levels of tolerance', then I am 100% in! Yet whilst this short 'novel' is written as one singular sentence without punctuati ...more | |
