The Gift by Patrick O'Leary

Here is my review for the criminally unread The Gift by Patrick O'Leary over at Fantasy Book Spot.

No Dominion by Charlie Huston

I recently recieved and read Charlie Hustons No Dominion. The second Joe Pitt casebook. Already Dead, the first book in the series was reviewed by me over at Fantasy Book Spot. I'm happy to say that No Dominion does not disappoint. It is a little more streamlined then Already Dead , with at least one glaring omission from it readily addressed. Plus, tons more questions are asked with the answers meted out to us leaving us always asking for more.

Patrick O'Leary update

After posting my review of Door Number Three over at Fantasy Book Spot I continued my relentless search for Patrick O'Leary.  Well I'm happy to report that it was a success.  I found him and he agreed to an interview.  He has big news for the future.  He has a collection due out from PS Publishing sometime on 2008. 
 
Stay tuned for more info.  Hopefully the review will posted soon

Godspeed - update

I heard from Julie at McAdam/Cage.  She informed me that the release date of Will Christopher Baer's Godspeed has been pushed back to March 2007 with ARCs going out by the end of the year.   

Thoughts from my reading of Children's Hospital

I've started reading Children's Hospital by Chris Adrian a few of days ago and I'm only about 50 pages deep.  Its not that the book is bad its just a very deliberate book that demands you to take your time.  It's an odd reading experience so far.  Most paragraphs feel as if they could be journal entries, because they are so complete in their miniaturized existence in a larger frame work.  It's hard to explain but maybe when its been read I'll have a better understanding of my gut feeling.
