Whitley Strieber wrote The Hunger in 1981. It was his second novel and featured Miriam Blaylock, a glamorous female vampire, her current companion John. A third side to the triangle is a brilliant young doctor, Sarah Roberts, whose research may provide an answer to Miriam’s immortality and what it might mean to the human race. The book was memorably made into a sexy, campy feature film by Tony Scott in 1983 with Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, and Susan Sarandon as the trio. What makes The […]

Find your inner superheroine
SPOILER WARNING! As I’m reviewing all three books in a trilogy, it’s going to be difficult for me to discuss the books without minor spoilers, especially in books 2 and 3, as they naturally follow on from and develop stuff that’s gone before in the series. So if you want to approach this series entirely spoiler free – you may just want to read the synopsis for book 1. #CBR10Bingo: Heroine Complex: So it begins Heroine Complex – 4.5 stars Evie Tanaka is the long-suffering and ever patient personal assistant […]

Adrian Simcox Does Not Have a Horse or does he?
Adrian Simcox Does Not Have a Horse by Marcy Campbell has some interesting elements. It is a softer version (text and illustration wise) of Enemy Pie by Derek Munson. Chloe, the narrator of our story knows that Adrian cannot have a horse. Why? Because he cannot have a horse in town. Or in his small house. Or the fact it takes a lot of money to take care of a horse and he has raggedy clothing. It is not until her mother gives her a […]
Just ban those who ban this book
I’m not really going to review this book. We all know Harry Potter. If you haven’t read the books, you’ve seen the movies, and if you haven’t seen the movies well you’re here in the English-speaking internet so YOU KNOW HARRY POTTER. Y’all don’t need me to review g-d Harry Potter. Rereading Harry Potter – especially rereading Sorcerer’s Stone – is like walking back into your childhood home. Everything is familiar and oh so dear and yes you know every turn and beat by heart and that just […]
