Well at least this time it ain’t been that long since I last blogged, so you can’t complain--you can try and complain, I won’t listen.
I’ve just realised today how many books I have sitting on my desk waiting to be reviewed for Twisted Tongue Magazine, and I thought I had caught up! Never mind, I’ll get them done. I need to type up Derek Muk’s ‘The Occult Files of Albert Taylor’ and pop him a copy of the review. I have enjoyed reading his book, it has the X-Files feel to it but with out all the super-dooper posh worded machines that know one really knows how they work. I especially enjoyed reading ‘Dear Boss’, Jack the Ripper lovers will love this one! The thrill of Jack killing in modern times ... shh, no spoilers here.
Next up to review is Rachel Kendall’s collection ‘The Bride Stripped Bare’, and Johnny S Geddes’ collection ‘Séances with the Living’. In PDF form Leigh Pierce’s ‘Stained Shorts’, and Marc Lowe’s ‘Sui Generis’. If I remember correctly I’m only waiting for one delivery and that is from the talented writer Jeani Rector, she is sending me a collection from the e-zine she works on ‘And Now the Nightmare Begins: THE HORROR ZINE’, this is packed from contributions from August 2009 till December 2009. I don’t have any links handy at the moment but if you can quite easily find these books through Google.
I just want to quickly add that I prefer to have a printed copy of books to be reviewed as reading off screen puts a lot of pressure on these old eyes. However, if financial strings are tight I don’t really mind. Anyways, the books look brilliant on my shelves. I’m a little bit of a hoarder where books are concerned...
I suppose I best get back to it ... now, what was I doing?
