One one-legged dog, one-possessed motorcycle, a witch named Jacks and a girl name Snapdragon

Snapdragon by Kat Leyh

October 2, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

One: This is a First Second Graphic Novel. Which meant I HAD to read. Regardless of the seemingly obviously crazy, off the wall, fantasy look to it. Second: This is not an obviously crazy, off the wall, fantasy. It is a not so obviously crazy, off the wall realistic fantasy. (See the difference?) Finally: Witches are real, and Snapdragon by Kat Leyh proves it. While there a few bumps to the storyline, it is a neat story about being yourself as well as about friends […]

Sam Sax….Is where it is at? Or not…..Take your pick….

December 21, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

What the hell did I just read? Sam Sax, as mentioned before, can write. And can write well. However, he is not easy to read. Please forgive me when I say I am not sure of one fact: Does Sax hate himself because he is gay, or does he just want to shock you? After all, you cannot slut shame, even a male, right? And yes, he likes sex. A lot. He likes to write poems about Butt Holes and Butt Plugs. And about how […]

Something IS Okay….and this is it!

July 25, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

WOW! WOW! WOW!  I seriously could write WOW 250 times and that would be my review. You will love some of these poems and hate others. And others still you will be WTF?!?!  Nothing is Okay by Rachel Wiley is one of those poetry books that you hope will be good after hearing one or two of her readings knowing that, yes of course, Facebook is going to highlight the “strong” poems, the “good” ones, the ones that will tease and make you drool for […]

Marlon Bundo (Non-Pence version)

March 29, 2018 by BlackRaven 3 Comments

While I cannot compare them directly (I have not read Charlotte and Karen Pence’s book) but by description, reviews and having read Oliver’s book I am confident in saying that John Oliver and team have captured the imitation is the best form of flattery market with their version of the Vice President Pence (or his wife and daughter) book Marlon Bundo’s Day in the Life of the Vice President. While you might not agree with Pence or Oliver views, this is a book that is […]
