Union City - published

As readers of the blog will be aware, my book on the 1980 film, "Union City", starring Dennis Lipscomb, Deborah Harry, Everett McGill, Irina Maleeva, and Sam Murray was recently made available for pre-orders. I'm glad to report that the book is now published and is shipping. This was an absolute labour of love for me. Look how beautiful it is!

It's been a while since I read a Maigret as I'd forgotten to reserve the next book at the library, but diving back into this world was a breath of fresh air. The writing and story are excellent, and the plot zings along at a good pace. It's also one ...more

Andrew and 1 other person liked Vultural's review of The Fracture: and Other Stories of Modern Japan: "Howell, Brian - The Fracture And Others Of Modern Japan Japan, Howell’s ongoing residence, stories here from the observer, the outsider. These are not cherry blossoms, but throttled affairs of the insular and constrained. Most begin with a mundane yawn," Read more of this review »

This is a rollicking quick read with an extremely interesting premise (aside from the obvious one). Grimwood carves his characters in quick brushstokes and the action is relentless from the start. It feels like it was written as fast as it could be r ...more

This is an excellent collection of short stories themed around one small (fictional) Norfolk village churchyard, running from the year 852 until the present day (depending on when you read this). This isn't normally my kind of read, but the detail, c ...more

I enjoyed this read about the successive generations of a family and their relationship with the trees in their orchard. It reads as a prose poem, although sections are broken up by 'newspaper' articles which introduce each new section. The writing i ...more

This is a truly startling, disturbing collection of short horror stories, endlessly inventive, and rarely heading in the direction you expect them to go. It feels as though Toase has reinvented what is usually quite a tired genre, with deft, occasion ...more
