Brooooooooce!
Last night, I went to the angriest rock concert I’ve ever attended and it was goddamn glorious. Bruce Springsteen doesn’t like Donald Trump, he doesn’t like what’s happening to America, and he’s fine to talk about it. And blow out your eardrums in the process.
After a quick, intense introductory rant/verbal essay, he launched immediately into Edwin Starr’s classic “War,” the cover to wh

"Thank you to Crooked Lane Books for the ARC!
I loved the I Hunt Killers trilogy, so I was really excited to see Barry Lyga return to this world, this time in an adult mystery. While I found the original series darker and more twisted, I like the idea " Read more of this review » |

question:
Well, part of it might have been that when I wrote that book about a dead baby, I was a new father! So I was writing about that tragedy while my little daughter slept in a bassinet next to me. It made it very raw and real for me.

“You won't even know you've crossed the line until it's way back in your rearview mirror.”

“See, forgiveness doesn't happen all at once. It's not an event -- it's a process. Forgiveness happens while you're asleep, while you're dreaming, while you're inline at the coffee shop, while you're showering, eating, farting, jerking off. It happens in the back of your mind, and then one day you realize that you don't hate the person anymore, that your anger has gone away somewhere. And you understand. You've forgiven them. You don't know how or why. It sneaked up on you. It happened in the small spaces between thoughts and in the seconds between ideas and blinks. That's where forgiveness happens. Because anger and hatred, when left unfed, bleed away like air from a punctured tire, over time and days and years. Forgiveness is stealth. At least, that's what I hope.”

“This is why I forgive, but I don't forget. When you forget someone, the forgiveness doesn't mean anything anymore.”
