New short story, Frankie's Twenty-Year Reunion, available on Amazon -- Free until the 18th
Let's give a horror story a chance, shall we?
Frankie's Twenty-Year Reunion
In this chilling, fast-paced short story, the true horrors buried deep within only come out in dark... Can Frankie escape his?
Frankie had high hopes for his twenty-year high school reunion. It did not go his way. Embarrassed, drunk, and on his way back somewhere, anywhere, Frankie's compelled toward a place he hasn't though Read more of this blog post »

Bobby’s Recent Updates
"Another clever collection of mostly single-panel comics from Tom Gauld. Imagine New Yorker cartoons with a sillier, science-r bent, and you'd have what's in this collection.
I always enjoy Gauld's work, but his recent collections seem a little more r" Read more of this review » |

| Nothing necessarily new in Harris’ argument, but man is he fun to read. Not as snarky as Hitch (who could be?!), Harris is a master of constructing a checkmate sentence. | |

| You might be inclined to throw this away as a cheap, lurid, tawdry, and overly explicit noir with too much graphic sex. You’d be wrong. There comes a point in this book where you realize that you are in the hands of a master and that nothing is waste ...more | |

I enjoyed the hell out of this. Frankie Machine might be the last honorable criminal left. A man out of time, literally and figuratively. A man who outgrew and left “the life” behind him until the ghosts of his past return to haunt him once again. Thi ...more |

Desert Star (Renée Ballard, #5; Harry Bosch, #24; Harry Bosch Universe, #37)
by Michael Connelly (Goodreads Author) |

The best of the Renee Ballard series thus far, but let’s be honest, this is a Harry Bosch novel. Ballard is Bosch’s supporting character here, not the other way around, as this offshoot series has tried (and largely failed) to establish. It’s nothing ...more |

What’s so great here as a giant Winslow fan is seeing the development of a style and voice that Winslow would perfect in his novels to come. It’s all here, the building blocks of techniques that would grow into Power of The Dog, The Force, etc. This ...more |

A culmination of the first five novels in this series, Back Blast ends the first major multi-novel storyline for The Gray Man in a wholly satisfying manner. Much more a spy thriller than the first four balls out action novels were, Back Blast is my f ...more |

| Winslow just delivers another great one. Beneath the San Diego surf bum setting lay a classic, old school detective novel. Boone Daniels is a 21st Century Philip Marlowe. Comfortable around criminals and hoods as he is billionaires and the elites, de ...more | |

Should you read this, try to forget that it's written by Anthony Bourdain, star of countless TV shows and overall badass dude who everyone loved. Try to remember that this book was written almost 30 years ago by Anthony Bourdain, first time novelist a ...more |

| It’s The Gray Man in a one man war against a drug cartel. This is so unbelievably not fair or realistic. This cartel doesn’t stand a chance. | |

“The Hero Path
We have not even to risk the adventure alone
for the heroes of all time have gone before us.
The labyrinth is thoroughly known ...
we have only to follow the thread of the hero path.
And where we had thought to find an abomination
we shall find a God.
And where we had thought to slay another
we shall slay ourselves.
Where we had thought to travel outwards
we shall come to the center of our own existence.
And where we had thought to be alone
we shall be with all the world.”
