God Laughs When You Die 4 reviews Michael Boatman
Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2007
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 ...

The Civil War Story of Bloody Bill Anderson 1 review Larry Wood

Wow!
Wow, what a war that was.

Ok I have published Rashi and Merely Mary Ann at the same time, because I'll be publishing Michael Boatman's horror anthology and The Big Bow Mystery later this year and I want to devote as much time as possible to promotion of those books.

It demonstrates how, during the Spanish Civil War, Hitler helped General Franco to victory, but at the same time attempted to turn Spain into an economic colony.

Jesse James: Last Rebel of the Civil War 50 reviews T.J. Stiles
Vintage, 2003
Interesting political take on Jesse James
+ In Depth Look at Jesse James as the Man, Myth, and Legend + Historical perspective
This is a fascinating work on Jesse James. It is not so much a standard biography as a "political history" of James. And that makes this an interesting read. The question animating this book is (page4): "Why should one set of criminals be so much more memorable than another?" The answer (page 6): ...
