14 4/5 I am reading the four books of the Threshold series and I am convinced of a few things. It would make a solid multi-season tv show, where there’s some good juicy roles here, there’s a lot of variety and suspense built into it, and there’s some solid connectivity between the books, but also distinction both in the plot and the storytelling. The books kind of already read like someone who tried to get a job as a screenwriter but then turned to novels. […]

Great Jones Street – 3/5 Stars This is an early Don Delillo novel that is ostensibly about a rock musician who seems to be in his mid-to-late 30s, living in a hotel on Great Jones Street in New York City. I don’t know a ton about New York, but I did happen to see Great Jones Street this summer, and these days, it’s a relatively bland and corporatized street in lower Manhattan. In the novel of the novel, it’s a little more sinister feeling, but […]

Three Farmers on their Way to a Dance – 4/5 Stars This is Richard Powers’s first novel, and like a lot of first novels (he was 26 when he published it) it’s both good and precocious in various ways. The novel itself follows a few different threads, and ends up being similarly structured to a few other Powers novels. One thread involves a narrator with the last name P who is researching a photograph and learning about stories from Europe right up to and during […]

Zombies in space, with a Lovecraftian twist

Dead Moon by Peter Clines

Slightly more than two years ago, I stumbled across Peter Clines’ novel of cosmic horror, 14. It wasn’t an earth shatteringly  brilliant story, but, as I described it initially, it “scratched an itch I didn’t know I had”. Since then, I’ve read The Fold, and Paradox Bound. The latter book was fairly disappointing in my opinion, and I was left reframing my thoughts around Peter Clines. 14 was great. The Fold was very good, but I had issues with some of the characters and how […]

https://killingmykindle.com/2019/02/02/episode-2-03-misty-water-colored-memories/ Wherein I review: 6. Ex-Purgatory (Ex-Heroes #4) by Peter Clines 7. No Sunscreen for the Dead (Serge Storms #22) by Tim Dorsey 8. Treason’s Harbour (Aubrey & Maturin #9) by Patrick O’Brian 9. Ex-Isle (Ex-Heroes #5) by Peter Clines 10. Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner Illness and big-ass books make for strange bedfellows.  Peter Clines brings his superheroes vs. zombies saga to a close – definitely for now and probably for good.  Serge keeps serging, spewing Florida trivia and murdering a-holes.  Aubrey & Maturin […]

Verses for the Dead by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

https://killingmykindle.com/2019/01/19/episode-2-02-1-6th-choctaw/ Wherein I read: 4. Ex-Communication (Ex-Heroes #3) by Peter Clines 5. Verses for the Dead (Agent Pendergast #18) by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child As I type this sentence, I wonder why Peter Clines amazing superheroes battling zombies series hasn’t already been optioned and turned into your favorite series yet. As I type THIS sentence, I wonder if Preston & Child got notes from some marketing douche and wrote this book like “Is this what you wanted, you f**kface?”
