Vertigo, 1997 a delight for Hazel fans Since Hazel has long been my favorite character in Sandman (yes, even over Death) I was happy to see a book starring her. Her story arc shows that in her quiet, insecure way, Hazel is still loyal and even noble, and smart about the things which matter most. So I read and re-read my favorite ...             The Martian Chronicles (The Grand Master Editions)314 reviews Ray Bradbury Spectra, 1984 A great indroduction to Bradbury's work. + Youthful Perspective + Classic Bradbury + Masterpiece             Courtney Crumrin, Vol. 1: Courtney Crumrin & The Night Things (Courtney Crumrin (Graphic Novels))18 reviews Ted Naifeh Oni Press, 2003 great art, fun writing + Graphic SF Reader + +++ I'd put it in the same category as "Bone" and "Sparks: An Urban Fairytale", for fun story-telling, great art, strong female protagonists, and sly humor.

(Spoilers... kind of) + A delight to read             Death: The High Cost of Living61 reviews Neil Gaiman Vertigo, 1994 Death is really a sweetie + Interesting story, great read For me, as for many fans of the "Sandman" series, the best character is Death. Gaiman conceives her not as a frightening figure in a cowl and carrying a scythe, but as an exceedingly perky young woman who wears black jeans and leotards and sports rather Goth-y makeup. She likes people -- she meets ...             His Dark Materials Trilogy: The Golden Compass / The Subtle Knife / The Amber Spyglass1084 reviews Philip Pullman Yearling, 2003 Dark Materials a Triple Threat or Three Times a Charm?

Danielewski Pantheon, 2000 House of Leaves + Very Different House of Leaves is, arguably, Danielewski's greatest and most defining work to date.

The premise of Danielewski's work is that a young man, Johnny Truant, finds an unpublished ...             1984 (Signet Classics)1377 reviews George Orwell New American Library, 1961 Big Brother is watching you! + The classic dystopia novel + I love this book! + Incredible best book I ever read             Neverwhere565 reviews Neil Gaiman Avon, 1998 Swashbuckling story with fanciful and alluring language + There. + London Below.....and then some + Brash, charming, funny and edgy             Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal490 reviews Christopher Moore Harper Paperbacks, 2003 Lamb + Irreverent, but Funny! + This book is great! + Awesome Book             Murder of Angels: 641 reviews Caitlin R. Kiernan Roc Trade, 2004 Excellent sequel to "Silk"... beautifully written + Beautiful mix of psychology, dreams and horror + a different direction If you enjoyed "Silk", you won't be disappointed with this work. It meets or exceeds the quality of it's predecessor. As always, Kiernan compellingly meanders through beautiful and creepy realities and experiences telling the tale of Niki, Dar, and Spyder.
