The Travelling Vampire Show: An unforgettable, spine-chilling horror novel:
"i want somebody to tell me, answer if you can; i want somebody to tell me, what is the soul of a man?--Ramblin' Jack Elliott
when you look over your shoulder, can you just see america's been left behind your back? can you feel the ineffable silence..." Read more of this review » |

"This novel goes in a different direction from the last two, further along the psychological spectrum, and for my part, suffers for it. Tom Bale is a talented writer, both All Fall Down and Skin and Bones were excellent: exciting, engrossing, darke..."

This novel will not be for everyone. As for me, a man beyond the half-century mark who has experienced love, loss, witnessed the deterioration of family while at the same time welcoming in new life, this was a moving novel. It is a hefty novel and th ...more |

“My kind has become the the centerpiece for horror stories and legends across the globe, and society has labeled the vampire as a monster, but the creature peering from beneath the fog misted top hat that night was a monster that would surpass the wildest imaginations of the most skilled story tellers. And he was a human being.”

“Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!" So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.”

How far are you into Gail Collins' book, Wayne? I found myself wishing that some of this information was taught when I was in high school.
Thank you so much for the friend request. I was thinking of sending you one myself.^^
Thanks for the friend invite and liking my musings on "The Drop", Wayne. I see we have some mutual friends and I'll look forward to perusing your shelves and reading your reviews. Happy reading in the meantime.
The Bible. Haha nice! I love it.

Hey, Wayne, thanks for the friend request. Looking forward to checking out your reviews.
Thanks, Wayne, for liking my review of Cornwell's The Empty Throne. Have you read any of this series? I am captured by his celebration of the ordinary man doing extraordinary things.
Hi, Wayne; thanks for your friend request. I don't think I could have asked you; perhaps Goodreads wants to protect authors from being harassed, so no way to request friendship with or private message a Goodreads author. If I'm missing something here, let me know!
I am currently writing a horror/thriller based on a true story that happened to me. Of course a couple of things had to be changed. It's called The Turkey Farm and I am hoping it will be a good read. No one will see the ending coming. Man I can be evil and I so wish I could have done what I did in the book in real life to the man who poisoned me. It will be finished in a couple of weeks.

I'm only a 1/4 way through. I agree about being taught this info but unfortunately we get mostly propaganda and all our skeletons get tucked neatly in their closets.
