Review: “A Violent Masterpiece” by Jordan Harper

You know you’re in for something special when you pick up a Jordan Harper novel. And by “something special,” I mean that his books are reliably dark, unique, precise gems of crime fiction. These are not the kinds of books you rush through. No, you savor every word and phrase, turning it over in your mind while shaking your head with a kind of awe or letting your jaw drop in either wonder or jealou

Near Flesh by Katherine Dunn
Rate this book
Clear rating
A lot of these stories are quite excellent and off kilter, in that exquisite Dunn style. But others feel underbaked, or even like sketches finished by a well meaning ghost writer. Overall quite good.

Exit Party by Emily St. John Mandel
"Mandel has gone full-on sci-fi with Exit Party. I love science fiction, though I’m not sure how many of her devoted readers will feel the same way.

There were two things I didn't care for in this book. First, Ari is one of my least favorite characters" Read more of this review »

Dewitt is one of my favorite wordsmiths, but this is a minor effort, both in length and ambition. I just didn’t believe most of these characters; I mostly heard the authors’ clever turns of phrase coming from their mouths, rather than the words of di ...more

Quotes by Jason Bovberg  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Look,” Irene says, trying her best to remain calm even though Rachel can tell that she wants to sprint out of the room. “I’ll say it again. I say we get in one of these cars and take our chances, find a safe place away from all this. Think of all the bodies in this hospital! We have to go to a place that’s not so populated and barricade ourselves, right?”
― Jason Bovberg, Blood Red

“Is this—is this something—alien?” she says into the window. “Something from … from outer space?”
― Jason Bovberg, Blood Red

“Look, I don’t know what the hell is going on with them,” says Rachel, “but from what we’ve seen, they’re not on their feet or anything. It’s not like they’re zombies, eating brains or whatever.”
― Jason Bovberg, Blood Red
