Haunted: A Novel 101 reviews Chuck Palahniuk
Anchor, 2006
A fantastic reading experience!
I LOVED this book. The writing is excellent. The author managed to bring out a different voice for each story. There was not a false moment in the narration--it all rang true. By the end I felt like I knew these characters. In our "reality show" culture where there are so many vivid examples of how ...

Badlands 7 reviews Charles Gatewood
Goliath Books, 2000
Provacative, intelligent, beautiful, crazy, sexy, fun.
+ Haunting Images: work of art
With this book Gatewood proves himself to be the undisputed master of documenting America's often perverse alternative counterculture. This book is a mixture of cultural anthropology, daring photojournalism, and cutting-edge erotica. It is a retrospective of his work, beginning with early '60s ...

J.G. Ballard's 1975 novel "High Rise" contains all of the qualities we have come to expect from this author: alarming psychological insights, a study of the profoundly disturbing connections between technology and the human condition, and an intriguing plot masterfully executed. Ballard, who wrote ...

American Psycho 1075 reviews Bret Easton Ellis
Vintage, 1991
This Is NOT An Exit
+ Not for the queasy readers
'American Psycho' is a satire of the 1980's (among other subjects) centered around narrator Patrick Bateman who is the yuppie-to-end-all-yuppies. Though the humor is as dark as possible, it's true to Ellis and true to the story. I cannot find any failure whatsoever with this book. For readers who ...

The Big Bow Mystery 3 reviews Israel Zangwill
Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2007
Historically significant and a great read
The fact that the mystery disappears after the second chapter in no way detracts from the joy of this book. From widowed boarding house attendants to freeloading artists to a detective that might as well be the anti-Sherlock Holmes, this is one of the funniest and meanest books to come out of the ...

American Psycho: Music From The Controversial Motion Picture 23 reviews Original Soundtrack
Koch Records, 2000
American Psycho
+ They forgot many many songs in the movie + Awesome but...
Very appropriate music for the film - decadent, hedonistic, sexually ambivalent 80s dance club. It was a new age and a new freedom for self indulgence where more people could sense that 'anything goes' and old morals were either questionable or completely discountable. That's the way it was.

A Wonderful Debut
+ fast, violent, and unsympathetic + Dark, Skanky, Funky Little Twisted Tales: Performance Art
Michael Boatman's debut collection is not one to miss by any means. He blends humor with horror, the strange with the unknown--and I loved it!
Reading through the pages, it just slipped right through my fingers, and before I knew it I was done with the book begging for there to be more. This is a ...
