Book Review: THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER by Stephen Graham Jones
Jones gives each of the three main characters of the novel an exceptionally personalized voice. A large part of what captivated me through the pages was his remarkable ability with the flow of words through a diversity of styles, a variation in ways that stories can be told.

Book Review: Root Rot, by Saskia Nislow

Paperbacks from Hell #4: THE TRIBE by Bari Wood
The Tribe is a novel of continued relevance, as well as intellectual and emotional depth, that makes it deserving of a broad audience beyond typical horror readers.
