Szu’s angst is sharply drawn, but the sections on Amisa’s first years in Singapore are what lend the novel its particular pathos.

It’s hard to get noir when most of your cast is warm and furry. Simon’s latest is more likely to appeal to cozy fans than the hard-boiled crowd.

The ruthless manipulation of detail and design is essential to Moore's achievement, but it runs the risk of becoming oppressively formulaic, or even claustrophobic.

The plot? Not this novel’s particular strength. Although the setups are plausible and gripping, characters make too many credulity-straining choices that are explicable only in the contrived service of heightening drama...Still, Karjel offers ample pleasures along the way.

A blinding tale of survival and sacrifice that matches the power of belief with man’s potential for unbridled violence.

None of which is to say Red Waters isn't worth it. An un-stuck landing lingers like a bad taste sometimes, but this one comes at the end of an otherwise fascinating story of tension and friction between old friends and new enemies...

...French’s novel is a cool fusion of classic adventure fantasy and 21st-century pop-culture sensibilities with nonstop action; a cast of unforgettable and brilliantly authentic characters; vulgar but witty dialogue; and strong female characters who overturn old sexist conventions. This is a dirty, blood-soaked gem of a novel.

There are betrayals, feats of sacrificial courage, and survivors who emerge with Secret Knowledge Which Cannot Be Spoken Of. It's mildly engrossing, appropriately icky, very familiar, and wholly ludicrous.

"Hell Creek" is the one that'll sell most horror fans on this book because, yes, it really is about a triceratops and an ankylosaur teaming up to fight zombie T-rexes at the end of the world.

Readers may sometimes feel queasy that the creation of Lamb, a man who says the unsayable, gives Herron easy licence to write the unwritable on subjects such as race and disability, in the way that character comedy can allow performers to pass off bigotry as irony.

“A People’s History of the Vampire Uprising” is undeniably aptly titled. It’s smart and smartly-constructed, an absolute blast to read. It is, to put it bluntly, entertaining as hell. All in all – and I apologize for this – this book does not suck.

The Maine Edge

That’s not to say the whole novel works. It takes a couple of hundred pages for the weirdness to get started, and the sense of the uncanny pervading the entire novel means that the more horrifying elements fail to surprise when they eventually arrive. But The Outsider gives King fans exactly what they want...

But ultimately, who done it is not the point, despite the elevator pitch. This is a fun, fast read that really takes me back to my own teenage experience, and I think it will resonate with readers who dabble in any sort of arts, dark or otherwise.

This book is a prequel to the author’s earlier works whose titles are the same as Jaymi’s prospective games, and the ending neatly sets up the succeeding installment. Unhurried but engrossing novel in which characters are more enticing than otherworldly technology.

With another fascinating novel that traffics in strange and transporting states of being, Malerman (Black Mad Wheel, 2017, etc.) again defies categories and comparisons with other writers.

Williams is a brilliant writer, and the book is laced with exquisite lines, many startling and some bizarrely funny — but it all comes to naught, in a quite deliberate way.

With a sudden climax leading to what may or may not be an ending of this specific big bad, though not of the world Roberson’s created, the second in this series lacks the background and character development that made the first such a delight.

An entertaining book filled with memorable characters who tread glibly through the realms of both the living and the dead.

“The Five Sisters: A Fable” isn’t far from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman stories, while “Not From Around Here,” “Plot Twist,” “The Shaft,” and “Jerry’s Kids Meet Wormboy” leave horror fans with the wetwork terror that Schow has mastered so well. Macabre, bloodcurdling, funny, and shocking tales about things that go bump in the night.

The weak link is Shannon Bertram, a victim in 1979 and a main player in 2007. Her character’s development is rushed, and her unexpected romance with Benny feels unconvincing and forced.
