of
Diabolically Good: The Movie Career and Afterlife of Horror Icon Vincent Price:
"Drew Pisarra is a delight! His books combine his literary talent with his weird good taste and obsessions, whether for a day or night or decades. Drew Pisarra would fuck Vincent Price. And after reading his radio play, his reviews and his poems, I’m "

| "Shoot!" is a slow read. But is that such a bad thing? Must every novel be a page-turner? It took me awhile to get through Pirandello's pseudo-journals of a cinematographer, who finds a fortune but not love, by turning the crank of a manual camera. T ...more | |

| How wonderful to spend a week reading Strindberg again after all these years. This particular collection is a nice mix of plays I've read multiple times before ("Easter," "The Stronger," "The Father," "Miss Julie") and ones I've never read at all ("T ...more | |

| Some books don't age so well. The success of this breakthrough novel by Truman Capote can best be attributed to its dance with the taboo: a young trans kid knocks the teeth out of sister's mouth; a woman with dwarfism slips her hands up the pants of ...more | |

| I didn't know that Margaret Atwood wrote so much science fiction. I thought "The Handmaid's Tale" was an outlier. Well, now I know better. Her dystopian vision here -- the first of a sci-fi trilogy! -- is a world in which pure science goes bonkers wi ...more | |
