"...I am telling everyone and anyone who will listen to take a look at this book!...
It's a page turner... I have NO IDEA where Tarpley is going with this!... Tarpley
must be a genius, he surprises in (both) big and little ways." - five star
customer review on Amazon

"Went in with an "I'll give it a chance" and didn't come up for air until
completed. I didn't (even) do that for The Strain... Take it from me, drop your
dollars and enjoy the self generated visuals." - four star customer review on
Amazon

D.B.TARPLEY’S AMAZING ASS GHOST BLOG 1-5-2015

Greetings and salutations people and peoplettes,
This isn’t the usual rant, just an expression of Joy. My name is D.B.Tarpley and as most of you know I am a writer. I am on a mission to finish the 27 books in my head before I retire. I know it sounds crazy to set a specific amount of books to write, seems limiting or artificially pushed. But trust me w Read more of this blog post »

“In this box are all the words I know…Most of them you will never need, some you will use constantly, but with them you may ask all the questions which have never been answered and answer all the questions which have never been asked. All the great books of the past and all the ones yet to come are made with these words. With them there is no obstacle you cannot overcome. All you must learn to do is to use them well and in the right places.”
Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

“If you want sense, you'll have to make it yourself.”
Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

“They walked for a while, all silent in their thoughts, until they reached the car and Alec drew a fine telescope from his shirt and handed it to Milo.
"Carry this with you on your journey," he said softly, "for there is much worth noticing that often escapes the eye. Through it you can see everything from the tender moss in a sidewalk crack to the glow of the farthest star — and, most important of all, you can see things as they really are, not just as they seem to be. It's my gift to you.”
Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

“And remember, also...that many places you would like to see are just off the map and many things you want to know are just out of sight or a little beyond your reach. But someday you'll reach them all, for what you learn today, for no reason at all, will help you discover all the wonderful secrets of tomorrow.”
Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

D.B. Tarpley If anyone wants a paperback copy of any of my books, they can be acquired cheaply at LUlu.com for only 9.99 each. I always want my words to be affordable.
Here is a link to the page:

Geoffrey Flaws DB Tarpley has a way with words. Few authors have managed to evoke such vivid imagery, emotion & fear. The words are effortlessly absorbed in a way that seems like, osmosis, where they find their way to the hidden or repressed recesses of the psyche. I thought I was desensitized to the horror genre, I was worried that I never experience terror the that Poe, H.P Lovecraft etc had evoked in the past. I was wrong. Lick The Razor shows that DB Tarpley has a unique insight of the human condition that transcends the horror genre. I will never be the same after reading LTR.
