I’ve said this before: I can’t imagine it would have taken very long for the reading public to figure out that Joe Hill was really Joe King if he hadn’t admitted it himself. And in each book of Hill’s that I read, I see more and more of his dad in the writing. In fact, if you told me that two of the four novellas in Strange Weather had actually been written by Uncle Stevie, I would just nod, and say, “of course they were.” […]
Beukes is breaking her readers again
I’ve read several Lauren Beukes books over the last few years and I’ve loved each of them. This is definitely the darkest I’ve read of hers. Maybe also one of the darkest books I’ve ever read to be honest. I thought it was going to be more on the mystery side of genre fiction, but it turns out it was really more on the horror side. The thing about Beukes is that no matter what she’s writing about, it’s going to be good because she […]

Sleeping for a while doesn’t sound that bad …
The characters and overall plot line of Sleeping Beauties will be familiar to most Stephen King readers. While he hasn’t explored a world without women before, he has made a career of looking at small towns facing extreme circumstances and using those small towns to stand in for society as a whole. In some ways, this novel reminded me of Under the Dome, both in how isolated or confined the setting felt and in the way that the community quickly splintered and divided. As the news […]

I’ll never look at a snowman the same way again!
Wow! I have just read “The Snowman” by Jo Nesbo and what a read it was! I basically read the whole thing in one night because I could not put the book down. It took me a little bit of time to get into the book, as it required some concentration at the start with the Norwegian names and a variety of characters. However I quickly got my head around that and enjoyed the thrill of the ride. Firstly, I loved the characters. Harry Hole […]
