My review of Kieran Shea's new and exciting space opera Off Rock, coming out on April 18. This one might be my favorite of his yet.

A review of Chuck Klosterman's upcoming essay collection X : A Highly Specific, Defiantly Incomplete History of the Early 21st Century. Klosterman got from great to masterful a couple years ago and he takes a step further here.

Johnny Shaw has a brand new Jimmy Veeder fiasco coming out on March 7. Find out here whether it's good or not.
My review of February's Audience Suggestion Sucker June, by Sean Kilpatrick. A Lazy Fascist Press book. This one was a lot more rewarding than January's selection.
I review a lot less newcomers and total unknowns this year because of cases like this one. I've enjoy the book enough, but I'm not sure what I can possibly tell you to get you to try it. I wouldn't be convinced myself.
Jeremy Robert Johnson's new short story collection Entropy in Bloom is an absolute blast. The book will officially be released on April 18, but GET YOUR COPY NOW!!!
Dennis Lehane has a new novel out! The peasants rejoice! Well, it's kind of just OK, really. Not the kind of sweeping crime epic he got us used to.
My review of Jordan Harper's much anticipated novel She Rides Shotgun. Pre-Order it now and get it for June 6. It's worth the wait, beautiful people. This is as good as advertised.
South African thriller writer Roger Smith is BACK with an espionage novel titled The Truth Itself and it's gloriously Roger Smith-esque. Written as James Rayburn.
