swift-paced biting satire
Reverend Earl began his preaching as infomercials, but quickly resonated with a population struggling with eating disorders. He simply offered his followers opportunities to be thin without the risks of anorexia, bulimia and constant fad diets by joining his Crossed Triceps health clubs. Soon organized religion fades bowing to the new God of Thinness. Earl's Dedicated Sisters become zealots ...

Disappointing
The cover held a lot of promise for this book, but I'm glad I checked it out from the library rather than spending money on it. The author began it with a very intriguing scene, which was gripping and left me wanting to know what had happened to Jimmy... but Jimmy was never visited again in the rest of novel save a few references to his name, and it never told what he was so ashamed of doing. ...

astounding
This woman never fails to amaze me. She is able to do speculative fiction with so much immediacy -- and hence, more suspence and menace -- creating worlds that contain classic science-fiction-y elements, and yet are so recognizably our own, for tales that are a veritable punch to the gut. This book reminds me of all that was excellent about "The Children of Men" by P.D. James. In short: in ...

Congrats for "The Night Children"
Late yesterday I finished reading Kit Reed's new book "The Night Children." It is a classic page-turner and I enjoyed the story. Without divulging too much, I feel that Lance is an important character like the Lone Ranger, who appears on the scene right when you need him, and then disappears just as quickly when the job is done. Opposing what Lance stands for is the main villain, Amos Zozz, ...

Horror with a Twist
Ordinarily, when reading a book of short stories in the horror genre, the more normal the lead-in and middle of the story, the more horrible the ending. The reader comes to expect this, anticipate it, and therefore, discount it. Not so with these stories. Ms. Reed still manages to surprise the reader with the twists at the end, or the way in which the "normal" part draws you in, only to shock ...

Deeper than it sounds
I first picked up this book of off-kilter short stories over 20 years ago because the title sounded like a joke, but the first couple pages grabbed me and I couldn't put it down. Reed writes creepy little cautionary tales that are hard to shake. Long ago someone borrowed my copy and never returned it, but the images from many of these stories will stay with me forever.
