Altmann's Tongue is reputable for getting its author Brian Evenson in trouble with Brigham Young University and Mormon Church. Is it that bad, though? Let's find out together.

Some movies look better on paper than they do on film and Hobo with a Shotgun unfortunately fits this category, like most contemporary grindhouse does.

Ghosts are a hard sell in literature, but Peter Straub's ghosts are well-worth the time, effort and money invested.

Concrete Island is great. It's much more than it claims to be. It's just not as gorgeous as J.G Ballard's magnum opus High-Rise, but what is?

I liked, more or less, even Peter Straub novel I've read so far. But Shadowland is a no, guys. Unless you're going through serious Harry Potter withdrawal, this one aged like an alcoholic, chain-smoking aunt.

I've always hard tough love for Chris Kelso's writing, but Shrapnel Apartments is the best thing he's offered yet. That books is smart, original and genuinely freaky.
