“Try as I might, I fail Master. Keep the house clean and keep red meat in the fridge, he said. These are menial tasks, yet I fail.”

- That line is from “Meat” by David Steffen, which I am performing in Pseudopod 330: Flash On The Borderlands XV: At Your Service!

“The Croods, in case you’ve been living in a cave, is a new animated film about a family of cavemen who come face to face with the end of the world. You’ve pretty much met all the characters in other movies and even on sitcoms.”

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:45:44 -0500

“Sometimes, alternate history doesn’t require telling the reader what the crisis point was that got changed. Sometimes, the reader just needs to know things are different. And that’s where The Mirage by Matt Ruff begins.”

- From my review of The Mirage by Matt Ruff, up at Escape Pod.

"This Book is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don’t Touch It is a fun, fast, grotesque read that..."

Tue, 19 Feb 2013 10:48:11 -0500

“This Book is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don’t Touch It is a fun, fast, grotesque read that fans of horror, action, and humor will enjoy, especially if — like me — they have the sense of humor of a 12-year-old boy (or at least appreciate a good fart joke).”

- From my review of This Book is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don’t Touch It by David Wong, over on Escape Pod.

Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:56:40 -0500

“It’s been a while since I’ve read any Neil Gaiman, and that’s a shame — he is one of the greatest working writers of our time, either in spec-fic or out of it. Whenever I read one of his books, I’m reminded just how good he is. If you haven’t read The Graveyard Book, now would be an excellent time to pick it up and take a look. You won’t be disappointed.”

- From my review of The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, now up at Escape Pod.

"Every now and then, a book comes along with a great premise and solid execution that a lot of people..."

Mon, 04 Feb 2013 10:21:02 -0500

“Every now and then, a book comes along with a great premise and solid execution that a lot of people like and recommend with great gusto. Ready Player One by Ernest Kline is such a book. And it is good — very good — except for the places where it can’t get out of its own way fast enough.”

- From my review of Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, now posted at Escape Pod.

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:28:22 -0500

“If you’ve seen the trailer for the film, you may already know that John Dies at the End is ostensibly about a drug called soy sauce that immensely sharpens a person’s perception of reality. But the book is about so much more than that.”

- My review of John Dies at the End is up at Escape Pod.
