I am the author of three books on film and pop culture: Hick Flicks: The Rise and Fall of Redneck Cinema, If You Like The Terminator, and Stephen King Films FAQ. I have been a freelance writer for more than two decades, including stints as a film critic for The Fort Worth Star-Telegram and television reviewing for The Onion's AV Club. My debut novel Charlesgate Confidential was called "terrific" by Stephen King and named one of the top 10 crime novels of 2018. My 70's set thriller Lowdown Road will be published in July 2023 by Hard Case Crime, I live in Austin, Texas with my wife Robin and our pets Sully and Chloe. ...more

Waves of Burden by Curtis Ippolito
Waves of Burden
by Curtis Ippolito (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
Curtis Ippolito writes with heartfelt emotion rare for the crime genre—which isn’t to say that he pulls punches when his characters are at their most down-and-out and desperate. At once a love letter to San Diego (seriously, the tourism board should ...more

The Devil by Name by Keith Rosson
Rate this book
Clear rating
An improvement on Fever House because, among other things, it has an ending. In fact, I would have guessed these two were originally written as one book and then split in half, but evidently not.

Night People by Barry Gifford

I'm still undecided on this one, but have a feeling it will grow on me. Incidentally, many of the reviews here seem to be of a comic book adaptation, which only added to my confusion. ...more

I much preferred Widespread Panic, but still looking forward to the next one. So it goes with Ellroy.

Murderland by Caroline Fraser
Rate this book

A generally gripping and fascinating read, even if some of it's a stretch. Be warned that the descriptions of violence are some of the most brutal I can think of, if that sort of thing bothers you. (But if it does, you're probably not reading a book ...more

“I guess you never saw The Unholy Rollers either. Greatest roller derby movie of all time.”

“Wow, that’s quite an achievement. How many Oscars did it win?”
Scott Von Doviak, Lowdown Road

“The problem is, you’re always the leading man in your mind. In real life, you may wake up to find out you’re just an extra.”
Scott Von Doviak, Charlesgate Confidential

“This story has surfaced in several articles about Charlesgate’s alleged paranormal history, but at press time, the ghost had yet to respond to the Beacon’s interview requests.”
Scott Von Doviak, Charlesgate Confidential
