twisted humor
The best thing about a book like this, 100 short stories in 145 pages (not counting the lengthy interview with the author at the end), is that everybody will have their own favorites. Mine were the "Nightmare Jobs" series and "A Donation," a macabre first person account of a man who plans to will his body to science. These stories are horror stories, complete with blood and viscera and body ...

Jesus Coyote

Harold Jaffe

Raw Dog Screaming Press, 2008

No Mean Feet
The multiple voicings, the clean prose, the ongoing play of ambiguities and transparencies all add up to make Harold Jaffe's Jesus Coyote a very smooth book. We expect it to be disturbing of course. No surprise there. What catches us off-guard is how engaging it all is, how easily it goes down. I recently watched a Manson documentary, and was surprised at how trite and dull the behavior of ...

The Fall of Never

Ronald, Damien Malfi

Raw Dog Screaming Press, 2006

Great book by a first time novelist
The amazing thing about this book is that it shouldn't work. It relies way too heavily on the Ann Radcliff standard gothic plot. The more amazing thing is that it does work and it works for one very simple reason - Malfi actually cares about the characters - at least enough to write about them sympathetically. Kelly is multi-layered and not just the girl that ends up in the haunted mansion. Her ...

Love, Honor, and Cherish: The True World War II Story of a Screaming Eagle and a Courageous Woman

Airborne Books, 2004

An American treasure -You've gotta read this book
This is the best WWII story I've ever read that documents how war affects a family. I have read and seen stories about the sacrifices that soldiers made in WWII, but never really understood the sacrifices that the soldier's family members made until I read this story. Thompson uses letters her mother and father wrote from 1942-1944 to tell a tender and dramatic story. It will hold your ...

Screaming With the Cannibals

Lee Maynard

Vandalia Press, 2003

The Quest of Jesse Stone
Screaming with the Cannibals(SWTC)is action packed and often hilariously funny. The novel is a page-turner filled with downright descriptive sex, and the language men and boys might use when at war. It is the story of an intelligent young boy, Jesse Stone, coming of age and coping with feelings of aloneness, repressive religion, racial turmoil, etc. The 2nd in a series, SWTC takes up where ...

D., Harlan Wilson

Raw Dog Screaming Press, 2007

Like...wow
Words cannot describe what this book is about, what it's like to read it, or even if it's good or not. Dr. Identity just "is" and your brain will find a way to rationalize the enormous amount of organized chaos in its own unique way. No two people will rationalize it the same way. Instead of building a world and explaining why the world is the way it is, Wilson chooses to simply present this ...

Jaffe's pointing his fingers at the media and at us
To read Harold Jaffe's pieces as a commentary on or critique of the war on terrorism is to under-read him, as Beckett was misread as being "symbolic" or Swift as a fantasist. Just as Swift made an ostensible target of the Irish in his "Modest Proposal" while actually targeting the bigotry of the English, so too does Jaffe construct a triadic argument. The ostensible target this time may be the ...

Greg Everett

Grundle Ink Publications, 2002

A candid account of Everett's blind obsessions
Greg Everett's Screaming At A Wall is a dark and intensely personal memoir of sex, drugs, rock-and-roll, and offers today's readings uncanny insights into the out-of-control aspect of the so-called "90s youth culture". From stealing a key as a middle school prank, to using cocaine for recreation, and flipping through a string of girlfriends, Screaming At A Wall is a remarkably candid account of ...

Deatiled overview of the 101st DDay experience
This book gives detailed information on each regiment and battalion of the 101st and its operations on d day. The storyteling is strictly informational, but keeps you excited. Some info and maps are very helpful, this book finally helped me to recreate the famous "jeep ride of Col. Sink", as it gives detailed maps of most important events of the 101st. If your interested in the 101st or D day or ...

Darren Speegle

Raw Dog Screaming Press, 2007

Subtle, haunting, and prolific
What is a Dirge? It is a lingering sense of supernatural, the mystical, and mixed with a bevy of fear and excitement, seen in only half exposure. A Dirge for the Temporal encompasses these meanings and treats us to a blend of subtle temptation and brutal beauty. Thirty-four stories take us through a poignant mind's eye of gifted author Darren Speegle. Forget formulas here, it is a time ...

Shadow Mountain, 2006

A Different View of the Famed 101st
This book is written from a very interesting perspective. Hugh Nibley was 32 years old and had a Ph.D. when he enlisted in the army. He went into intelligence, and presumed that he would get assigned some nice safe assignment writing reports or something like that. But those of who have been in the Army know that the Army Gods don't work that way. He was assigned to work with the 101st ...

So Scarey, So True!
BOOK REVIEW by Miss Teddy Skyler. www.GhostFIREHaunts.com THE UNIVITED By Steven A. LaChance With Laura Long-Helbig Before I read this book I had heard it was Terms of Endearment meets Poltergeist. That is a fairly close assessment. It is clear that Mr. LaChance opened his heart when he sat at his computer to write. You clearly see his sincerity and his nature in its reading. The ...

Last Burn in Hell: Director's Cut

John, Edward Lawson

Raw Dog Screaming Press, 2006

"A Punch Line Aimed at Your Chin . . ."
Without a doubt, John Edward Lawson is what Friedrich Nietzsche would have called an "Ubermensch" ("overman," or "superman") of the written word. Last Burn in Hell is a nonstop romp in a bizarre world of a man who has one of the best, and at the same time, worst jobs possible. His landscape is fresh, his strokes are perfect, and the final product is a wonderfully mastered piece of bizarro ...
