That's really it: the relationships in Ponti are so stunted and painful that the novel evokes love mostly through negative space. There are hints of reconciliation and redemption at the end, but they come too briefly and too late to have much conviction.

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.

Karjel's second novel to be translated into English is a solid, dependable work that makes us believe in its characters and situations; the author brings firsthand knowledge to his unusual story of Swedes in Africa.

...I wish I could sit down with you over a couple beers and talk about The Cabin. Maybe it would let me sleep better. Because to discuss something like this is to defuse it a little. It takes a bit of the edge off when a collective gathers to say, No, it's okay.

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.

They are, crucially, not Texans. In a nice play on the title, they are outsiders...King doesn’t presume to be an insider, either. There is a cop of Mexican descent, Yune Sablo, and an Anglo woman who grew up in the area, Lovie Ann Bolton, but neither is the protagonist; King doesn’t inhabit them as he does Anderson and Gibney.

Koontz has had a long and consistently best-selling career, encompassing horror, science fiction, fantasy, and straight-up thrillers, and he’s rarely stumbled. The Hawk series...is among his best work.

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.

If that sounds like a lot, it is; but when a writer works with sentences like these, she can do what she wants...An elusive but enchanting work by one of America’s greatest authors.

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.
