Nor Cease You Never Now by Ren Warom DNF“There’s no story, either, only fragments scattered all around.”
That did not sound promising and I was falling asleep on page two. Pass.
The Hope Chest by Sarah Read ★★★☆☆ Mostly a depressing story of an alcoholic abusive mother but with a magically happy ending.
The Pain-Eater’s Daughter by Laura Mauro ★★★☆☆ I find magical Romani stories fascinating and colorful but this one is irrepressibly sad.
🤣Yes! That it started off as joke was ok but then it kept going nowhere and it was eating my time. I should have DNF’d sooner.
I Say (I Say, I Say) by Robert Sherman ★☆☆☆☆ (DNF)I read more than half over four starts and am outraged at the waste of time and effort. This was a barroom joke that kept not hitting a punchline. How is this in a horror collection, much less a best-of?!?!
It's depressing, often dull, and lacking in eye candy. Ben Barnes has a nice face but if you are going to do back nudity you need little more back.
I watched half a season of The Punisher... then I watched Avengers. I feel better.
After Sundown is on sale today! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C5N9F3G?...It’s also available on Scribd.
Seymour is played by the guy in Kingsman and Evans is Orin Scrivello who was played by Steven Martin. You nailed it!
Come on, like Fiona said, Chris Evans was great in Knives Out and Scarlett was killing it well before Black Widow.
Something to make your day better!
Yes, it’s true, it is being remade and it’s starring the dynamic duo of Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans.
If your day is going too well here is the new Handmaids Tale trailer to Billy Eilish: https://youtu.be/ffjaxHwOBJ8
As Dark As Hunger by S. Qiouyi Lu DNFThis read like mermaid torture porn and I never want to read that again.
Yeah, it was just an anecdote.
I do need to read his Best Of, I was looking at his latest work with his daughter, Terror is Our Business: Dana Roberts' Casebook of Horrors. And now I also want to read that Cronenberg tribute, well less so after seeing the cover. Cover art is so important yet I often see books shooting themselves in the foot.Here is an example of an evolution of cover art from something in the TBR doldrums to something I might read this year:
Tyler’s husband died a few days ago, they received the ashes today. Send them your good thoughts.
Truly successful science fiction does two things: it gives credible glimpses into the future while entertaining the reader. With this in mind, Jonathan Strahan asked sixteen of today's most inventive, compelling writers to look past the horizon of the present day.Whether on spaceships, in suburbia, or in simulated gaming worlds, whether about cloning, battle tactics, or corporate politics, the stories of The Starry Rift will give every reader something to consider.
