Thanks a million, I appreciate your comments a great deal. As you can obviously tell from my reviews, I love to read
and to share that passion with others. Please keep stopping by the sites and by all means, post here often. What kind of
fiction to do you enjoy? Do you have a favorite genre?

I just posted a new review last night and this morning added a short piece about the 5 links that are on that page, more or less explaining them to all of you. Hope you'll stop by and check it out. The new Sentinels book should be in every comic fans library.

I enjoy pulp reprints and small press comics for my recreational reading. I can't wait to see Vol. 2 of Fantagraphics Popeye. Segar is just wonderful!

Actually, if you check out my site you can see most everything I've read in the last year on the review page :-)

One of the most enjoyable publishing houses out there today is Hard Case Crime, begun a few years ago by Charles Ardai and his then partner, Max Phillips. Well HCC is about to release their 50th title and Ardai has penned it himself, making it a very special anniversary
book no crime write should miss. I just reviewed an advanced copy of FIFTY-TO-ONE at my Pulp Fiction site. Check her out.

I just read Baby Moll from HCC, by John Farris. It's a fairly good book about a former gangster called back into service to find out who is threatening the crime boss of South Florida. He finds out the hard way.

Very bleak and despairing, but the end is much happier than I thought it would be. Maybe Farris was angling for a movie deal.

Stil pretty good. Despite being gangsters and criminals, all of the characters are fleshed out with motivatons and have relationships and fears. I think maybe the whole guilt angle of the novel was a bit overplayed. They had much more faith in the power of guilt back in the fifties, when it seemed like a good thing, unlike now, where it's just another shackle to toss.

Read the First Quarry by Max Allan Collins.

It's a great read. Quarry is recruited into his job as a contract killer by the Broker, and is to eliminate a literature professor boffing his students, but like all of his jobs, it isn't that simple. He gets dragged into a divorce case and a mob war before he is through.

Like all of the Quarry books, it is really good. (I'd say Primary Target is probably the weakest, but I've read it numerous times) I still need Quarry's Cut though. Maybe someday, Hardcase will reprint all of the Quarry novels, or at least the first 4.

Hi CR gang. Well, I've just read an incredible pulp book that I think all of you here would love cover to cover. It's called The New Eldritch
Adventures of Beck Sharp by one Micah S.Harris and has cameos galore, from the Scarecrow of Romney Marsh, to Captain Nemo, Sherlock Holmes, King Kong and Tarzan. Its a wild romp and I really can't recommend it enough. You can ready my entire review and
see its gorgeous cover at...

Consider my early Christmas gift to all of you.

Charles Saunders is the greatest fantasy writer alive today. If you grew up enjoying Robert E. Howard's Conan stories or J.RR. Tolkein's Lord of the Rings trilogy, you HAVE to pick up Saunders Imaro saga!!! Click on my Pulp Fiction Review link for the full review of this great book.
