Harry Carpenter is an author born in Baltimore, Maryland. Sometimes they call that "Bawlmer," where he's from. He's a huge fan of video games, 80s movies and 90s Rock. Some of his favorites are playing Mortal Kombat and Doom, and watching Ghostbusters and Big Trouble in Little China while listening to Smashing Pumpkins and Chevelle. When he's not wasting time playing Xbox, he's writing some wild horror, science fiction and thriller stories. Some of his short stories have won awards! Harry is a huge fan of putting himself as the main characters in most of his books, most noticeably in FUBAR, with the protagonist mirroring his thoughts and feelings while in the United States Army, which took him all around the world.

Fun story for the holidays. You can tell it's an early Malfi book, but it's good all the same. I enjoyed this "Body Snatchers meets The Thing meets The Mist" type of story. It's a shorter read of his, and worth checking out! ...more

I don't often wish a book ended sooner than it did. For as short as it was, it felt like a chore. The story makes zero sense, and feels very, I don't know what, but I guess out of touch is what I'm looking for. The sense that Day of the Dead is "Hallo ...more

While I was involved in the "interview" portions, and wrote an introduction, I had no idea what Paone had in store for the narrative. In an expert play that was chess in a time of checkers, Paone managed to create a story from a song. Given the limit ...more

I love Carrey. Even his more abstract work, when he's not the 90s slapstick king we grew up loving. THIS...this was way too abstract. I had the audiobook, too. His Dumb & Dumber co-star, Jeff Daniels, has a voice that is smooth, and slow. The problem ...more
