Video reviews
I have recently begun making reviews and short videos about the vintage paperbacks I've been reading. I discuss the book, read a tidbit, and go in depth about the author, illustrator, genre, or publisher.
If you're interested, you can find them at Paperbacks That Time Forgot.

4 stars for the genius of the writing and the important things he brings up. 1 star because I do not enjoy sitting in the mind of a psychopath for 145 pages. |

Twist of Cain: A Coming-of-Age Horror Novel:
"Such a beautiful, honest, and deeply nostalgic book! Steeped in 80s culture and giving off strong urban legend vibes, it has Chris, a totally relatable teenage boy as the narrator, telling his story of a friendship gone wrong, and the mayhem that lat"

“Ma and God
God gave us fingers--Ma says, "Use your fork."
God gave us voices--Ma says, "Don't scream."
Ma says eat broccoli, cereal and carrots.
But God gave us tasteys for maple ice cream.
God gave us fingers--Ma says, "Use your hanky."
God gave us puddles--Ma says, "Don't splash."
Ma says, "Be quiet, your father is sleeping."
But God gave us garbage can covers to crash.
God gave us fingers--Ma says, "Put your gloves on."
God gave us raindrops--Ma says, "Don't get wet."
Ma says be careful, and don't get too near to
Thoses strange lovely dogs that God gave us to pet.
God gave us fingers--Ma says, "Go wash 'em."
But God gave us coal bins and nice dirty bodies.
And I ain't too smart, but there's one thing for certain--
Either Ma's wrong or else God is.”
