Roger Corman: Blood-Sucking Vampires, Flesh-Eating Cockroaches, and Driller Killers

Beverly Gray

Da Capo Press, 2003

Kudos from Creating Characters author Marisa D'Vari
This fascinating "biography" is really a savvy "how to" book that belongs on the shelf of every screenwriter, aspiring producer, director, and development executive -- and everyone else who loves films and craves to know the secrets of Hollywood's most colorful mogul. I found it fun to read as a realistic "behind the scenes" glimpse of what it takes to be a profitable mogul, such as the way ...

Body Type: Intimate Messages Etched in Flesh

15 reviews
Ina Saltz

Abrams Image, 2006

An impressive volume
Although this charming little book is a quick read, it deserves to be returned to many times, to really admire and appreciate all of the unique, amazing, and well-done tattoos on display therein. In recent years, the old stereotypes of body modifications and the people who get them have been changing for the better. This book can only help in that endeavor. Far from displaying a bunch of ...

The Flesh, the Blood, and the Fire

9 reviews
S. A. Swiniarski

DAW, 1998

Crossing genres
This one will thrill mystery, history and horror buffs alike. Swiniarski creates characters, both human and undead, who are fascinating, realistic and dynamic. He also calls upon history to set a chilling background: the unsolved Cleveland Torso Murders, the media-frenzied career of Eliot Ness, and the mix of emotions surrounding the Depression and the world at war. The novel takes a look ...

Letters from the Flesh

Marcos Donnelly

Robert J. Sawyer Books, 2004

Another excellent read
It's always a pleasure reading new fiction from Marcos Donnelly and his latest contribution to the SF world is no exception. Following the religious explorations of his first novel (as well as a number of his shorter pieces), Donnelly now turns the reader's eye to the conflict/tensions between science and religion -- in this case, Creationism and evolution -- while paying an endearing homage to ...

M.J. Rose

Piatkus Books, 2002

Searing, and semi-erotic...
MJ Rose paints a portrait of an amazing bond between a man and woman. Genny and Slade, both products of the art world, meet when she is far too young to fall in love with him, or to share his passion. She misrepresents her age and background to be with him, and Rose skips forward, after laying the foundation, to Genny's immeasureable sacrifice for the man she loves. Rose is equally at home ...

The Wounded Body: Remembering the Markings of Flesh (Suny Series in Psychoanalysis and Culture)

Dennis Patrick Slattery

State University of New York Press, 1999

Remembering Wounds and Meanings
In his book, The Wounded Body, Dennis Patrick Slattery weaves together wounds and meanings, intertwines psyche and soma, and plaits mimesis and memory into life stories. If, as he believes, our origins and our destinies are within the poetics of our bodies, then who would turn away from tracing origins through memory and destiny through desire? Who would not unravel some of the knots of their ...

A Comment on The Flesh of Kings
Wow! The Flesh of Kings is a great read. The author certainly has a way with words and will take you on an adventurous and interesting journey into the near future to examine what life might be like after Armageddon. There is an underlying message that begins to unfold near the end which is simple, something we all want and something we sometimes fail to give.The novel ends with a glimpse at ...

Zen Flesh Zen BOnes: A Collection of Zen and Pre-zen Writings

Tuttle Publishing, 1998

Zen seeds, Zen Spores
It was over 40 years ago that I acquired this slim little book in an esoteric bookstore. I knew nothing about Buddhism or the Zen tradition at that time, and my own ignorance intrigued me. Little did I suspect that what I was holding in my hands was a peculiar, living virus--and I was about to become it's Host, in a lifelong symbiotic journey. Zen bones are Jellyfish bones. In the artifacts of ...

Sins of the Flesh

Jay Davis

Tor Books, 1993

Worth it! A CLASSIC!
If you're looking for an excellent Classic horror story that actually delivers real terror and suspense this is certainly the one . Better than Masterson, King, Koontz, Saul or Laymon and I say that without reservation. Easily ranks with the best and that is very rare. This is not splatterpunk THANK GOD!!!

Simon Pulse, 1998

all hardy boys books
Even if I didn't read every single "Hardy Boys" book there awesome. I just know because they fight and do boys stuff. I even read more "Hardy Boys" books than school work. I just wish they had a holiday where you read "Hardy Boys", for just one whole entire month (no school no nothing except reading "Hardy Boys").

Flesh and Bone: An Introduction to Forensic Anthropology

Myriam Nafte

Carolina Academic Pr, 2008

A Solid, Informative Book
Flesh and Bone was required reading for my course in forensic anthropology. I found it very informative and interesting. I like how many of the legal terms were translated. The book has inspired me to pursue this field of study even further. I recommend it to students who are nervous about the sciences and cannot get through alot of technical terminology, and for those who are curious about crime ...

Heart of Flesh: A Feminist Spirituality for Women and Men

7 reviews
Joan Chittister

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1998

Rarely does one find such an accessible work
This book is one of the best, well-balanced, thoroughly-discussed commentaries on Christianity, feminism, and liberation theology that I have ever read. Although she makes no secret of her political or spiritual views, Dr. Chittister places them in context, sharing anecdotes and stories as a means for getting her point across. She also manages to detoxify such "buzz words" as "feminism" and ...

And the Word Was Made Flesh

William McCann

Authorhouse, 2002

AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH...
This is a new rendition of the tale of the Three Wise Men. As opposed to most stories of this historic journey, however, the author uses the youth of two of them to add adventure to the epic quest. The third man is much older and wiser and lends stability and a sense of discipline to the group. The story begins with Joseph's dilemma concerning the pregnancy of Mary, his betrothed, and what he ...

Weapon of Flesh

Chris Jackson

BookSurge Publishing, 2005

Fascinating and inspiring
Weapon Of Flesh is a breath of fresh air in the fantasy literature category. This book appeals to readers over the spectrum of genres. The story is the age-old question of nature vs. nurture. I was unable to put this book down, reading long into the night. The characters are well-written, and the books' pace keeps your attention, as you can't wait to turn the page to see what happens ...

Fakir Musafar: Spirit + Flesh

Fakir Musafar, Mark Thompson

Arena Editions, 2002

Libidomag.com review by Jack Hafferkamp
...Fakir Musafar's personal transformation from nerdy teenager to seeker of transcendental sublimity is measurable in this collection from brave little Arena Editions. With knots, corsets, tattoos, piercings, suspensions and body modification tools not easily describable, Farkir goes where few dare. Be forewarned, this book, beautifully designed and realized as it is, is disturbing. If you think ...

Word Works, 1999

Belin is Bob Dylan in "prose"
Masterful, hard hitting, insightful, delightful-- Belin does it all! He separates the wheat from the chaff and is on his way to immortality. Personally, I am looking forward to much, much more of Melvin Stuart Belin.

Marked in Your Flesh: Circumcision from Ancient Judea to Modern America
January 12, 1992, I paid a visit to the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Geneva, where I met Dr. Leila Mehra. I was then preparing a paper, which I developed in a book in Arabic, French and English on male and female circumcision. I asked her: "Why the WHO is concerned only with female circumcision and doesn't consider male circumcision?" She responded: "Male circumcision is mentioned in the ...

Lee Potts

Longstreet Press, 1998

Absolutely the funniest book I've ever read!
Lee's Falling Flesh Just Ahead is the funniest book I've ever read. Her humor makes you realize that it's okay to laugh at yourself and not take yourself too seriously. I bought seven additional copies, after reading mine, to give to friends. They all loved it! In this competitive world, women can place themselves under more pressure than ever before. At the same time, we have these ...
