God Laughs When You Die4 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 ...

Eakin Press, 2003

Wow!

Wow, what a war that was. Missouri/Kansas Civil War action produced the greatest number of instances of European style fighting, that unique style of fighting of the Union supporting German immigrants from the St. Louis area where no prisoners were taken, than in any other theatre of the American ...

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. In writing a review, I know that I have essentially ...

Jesse James: Last Rebel of the Civil War50 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): ...
