Clive Barker is known for his twisted horror and suspenseful thrillers. I’ve always loved his writing, and a few of his works are among my favorites. I don’t know why I waited so long to read Galilee, but I’m glad I finally did, as it is now not only my favorite novel by Barker, but it has become one of my favorite novels, period.
Galilee is pure Southern Gothic…an (more. . .)

First of all, just a quick note for those who are afraid that I’ve slammed my flag into Bookreviewbabes.com and claimed it in the name of Natalina, Don’t worry! Cheryl is on vacation (or holiday, as I believe they call it in her neighborhood) and she will return. In the meantime, read on for another of my thrilling reviews.
Utopia X by Scott Wilson has long been one of my (more. . .)

This has to be one of the most magnificent books I’ve read in ages. Full of humor, suspense, romance, philosophy, Buddhist principles, and enchanting prose, “The Sacred Book of the Werewolf” is one that I’d recommend a thousand times over.
This is a book about werewolves….actually, a werewolf and a werefox in Russia; Alexander and A Hu-li.Â
 A Hu-li is the werefox, who is able to transform herself into (more. . .)

At first glance, “Goodnight Nobody” appears to be your run of the mill classic chick lit. While it is true that there are elements that will appeal to the traditional chick lit audience, the reality is that this is also a fantastic murder mystery, as well as an unapologetic commentary on the way women tend to lose themselves in their duties to others. It comes from one of the (more. . .)

The Book of Job is a tricky section of the Bible, as it shows God and Satan entering into a challenge or a wager, with the life of Job, a humble servant of God, and his family, as the pawns.
I have always been fascinated by Job and his trials, and was mightily intrigued when I came upon the novel The Book of Joby by Mark Ferrari. I picked (more. . .)

When I picked up this book I had no idea it was a book meant for children. It was the blurb on the back that made me want to read it and although it is written for kids it is a story that just as easily speaks to an adult audience. It will certainly distress sensitive souls no matter their age because of the subject matter. It’s a simple (more. . .)

We are currently building the site so it may take on a few different schizophrenic personas over the next months as we toss ideas back and forth in a civilized manner over a cup of coffee and then move on to sipping Gins and Tonic…which will most likely end with us rolling on the floor pulling hair and bitch-slapping each other senseless until one of us gets our way.
