[image error]I’ve been a fan of Alan M. Clark’s work for a really long time. We met mumble-something years ago at one of the World Horror Conventions, when Alan was showing his paintings in the Art Show. He painted an amazing painting for me and my husband—still one of my treasured possessions—and later wrote an incredible piece about his adventures in brain disease for my Morbid Curiosity ma...

| I read this as a kid and enjoyed it during my Conan and Elric phrase, so I wanted to reread it as see if it held up. I am surprised at how readable it still is. Basically a barbarian road trip across a planet beneath a dying sun, The Ginger Star intr ...more | |

| The spectrum of people who are interviewed in this book is impressive. They range from someone who's researching composting humans to a former death row warden who has become an anti-death penalty advocate. Particularly fascinating to me were the tal ...more | |

| I thought the first book was slow, since it took 100 pages to get going. This book is even slower, taking almost 300 pages to get anywhere. In consequence, it took me months to read it, since I kept being lured away to read almost anything else. And ...more | |

| This is a radical departure for satirist S. G. Browne: a charming, kid-friendly fairy tale about talking dogs and cats. It starts out reminiscent of the Mistmantle books, with an evil usurper sentencing traitors -- including the rightful heir to the ...more | |

| Very reminiscent of Angela Carter's fairy tales! This book didn't catch fire for me until the story Charm, a dark and perfect take on the Sleepy Beauty story. I was thrilled to see Snow White & Rose Red in here too, since it was one of my favorit ...more | |

Thanks for that! I usually don’t post spoilers, so I’d forgotten how to denote them. I’ll try to go back and edit the review when I’m not on my phone.

rated a book it was ok

| This book was a disappointment. It's clearly self-published, from the overly long and involved title to the lack of space between the author's first and last name on the front cover. Similar errors mar the text, which would have benefited from an edi ...more | |
“Curiosity is the single most important attribute with which humans are born. More than a simple desire to discover or know things, curiosity is a powerful tool, like a scalpel or a searchlight. Curiosity changes us. It is also a way to effect change, perhaps even on a global level.”

“For these beings, fall is ever the normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth....Such are the autumn people.”
