Every story crawled under my skin. Nothing was indistinct. Some stories still haunt me.

She was standing there in a red kimono, as pale as milk, staring at me, with a long thin knife in her hand. I reached out and took it away from her. When she spoke, it was in a whisper that sounded like a snake flicking its tongue in and out. "Why did ...more

Shelly Lyons liked Rachel's review of Like Real: "Vic is self conscious about missing a hand, so he turns to a sketchy doctor to get a sentient hand, which ends up separating from his body to become a New Vic (that's how it's referred to in the book). This is so weird, silly, funny, and gross. The c" Read more of this review »

Shelly Lyons and 1 other person liked Angie's review of Like Real: "I read this book while I was on vacation and could not put it down! Loved it! Hope there is a sequel!!!"

Shelly Lyons liked Marc Levinthal's review of Like Real: "I enjoyed every minute of "Like Real." It's a very funny page-turner that straddles genres — an absurdist, funny SF/horror novel with lots of twists and turns. Fans of Terminator, Videodrome, and the Big Lebowski will dig this. Highly recommended!"
