Lucinda, Darkly: The Demon Princess Chronicles

Sunny

Berkley Trade, 2007

Phenomenal
Author Sunny is Smokin' Red Hot everything she writes sizzles. Have a man close by to satisfy you after the read or you must have a cold shower. I've never read any of her books that didn't make me hot and bothered. If you prefer erotic romance she is one of the best authors you just can't pass up.

Philip K. Dick

a necessary book
I feel there are certain books that are necessary for us to read (and I'm sure as I go on reading, I'll find others), and I've just added another to the list--Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly (I like this book so much that I actually consider it tied with Fitzgerald's Gatsby, Twain's Huck Finn, and Kerouac's On the Road as my favorite book). It's a twisted, surreal tale of paranoia and ...

The goth Bible: A Compendium for the Darkly Inclined

Nancy Kilpatrick

St. Martin's Griffin, 2004

Spectacular!
This book is a comprehensive and touching look at the Goth world. It covers a broad spectrum, and treats the subject with respect and not the usual sarcasm one expects and sees in books about Goths. The only thing I find disturbing are the 3 childish individuals who have commented here, none of which are reviews, and at least one of which hasn't read the book. I think it must be sad for the ...

Sheridan Le Fanu

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

LeFanu's Masterpiece
"Horrific." "Superb." "Dark." "Masterful." "Gothic." "Brilliant." All these words and more spring to mind when attempting to describe In a Glass Darkly. This volume contains five tales ranging in length from thirty to seventy pages which purport to record a few of the many cases of the learned psychic investigator Doctor Martin Hesselius. The first tale, "Green Tea," is perhaps the ...

Gena Showalter

Downtown Press, 2006

Kickin' A** and Takin' Names
Gena Showalter is one of my favorite writers with paranormal romance, but now that I've had a taste of her futuristic romance, she has totally blown me away. I loved her female character, who was strong, sexy, confident and even more sexy, which I think all of us females wish we were. I didn't want the story to end and I hope there will be a continuation where the other fabulous characters all ...

Through a Glass, Darkly (Commissario Guido Brunetti Mysteries)

Donna Leon

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

Good Brunetti Book
Donna Leon continues her streak of delightful Guido Brunetti novels -- this one set mostly in the glass factories of Murano. She combines fascinating details of the fabled Venetian glass factories with well-developed characters and vivid geography to cook up a tale of intrigue and complexity. I think her characters here are more nuanced than in her other books, which is not a criticism of those ...

Jeffrey Overstreet

Regal Books, 2007

An Articulate Voice
As a filmmaker and a Christian I am always striving to find an articulate voice able to handle the spiritual as well as the cinematic. With Jeffery Overstreet's Through a Screen Darkly I have found a strong one. The book traces Overstreet's own experience with cinema as an artist, a Christian and a human being. The book serves to open readers' eyes not only to their own experiences, but to the ...

Karleen Koen

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2003

Spectacular book, I flew through every page;
Though I love long books and historical fiction, I must say at first I was a little intimidated by this books 741 pages. Even the first 100 pages were ordinary, and I almost put it down and did not pick it back up. For some reason, though, I kept on going, because I despretely wanted to see Babara married to Roger. I am so glad I did because I soon found myself flying through at least a ...

Happiness
As a recent trip to Venice inspired my thirst for anything to do with Venice and my veracious appetite for reading, a friend turned me on to Donna Leon. I am so happy to be reading about places that I visited.

Zebra, 1990

Fab Book
I am a long time fan of Mr. Johnstone's horror titles. This book is one of my favorites. I couldn't put the book down once I read it and have read probably another four times. Makes you want to go out and buy all of the others he has written; I did!

Bill Hussey

Beautiful Books Limited, 2008

A Worthy Debut
When I first started reading this book, I wasn't too sure if I was going to like it or not. I was a bit confused and the story just wasn't "grabbing" my attention. However, I decided to stick it out to see what would happen, and I am very glad that I did!! (You just have to get over the storyline of the book - things seemed a little out of whack, at fist - though once Hussey found his rhythm, he ...

William Hinton

Monthly Review Press, 2006

Informative...and timely!
At a time when imperialist wars rage around the world, people are paralyzed in their opposition and resistance...often because they do not see the possibility of a better world. Hinton digs into the 'conventional wisdom' that "Communism was a horror, and is now dead" by showing the reality of the Chinese revolution by taking on the distortions coming from Western academia. Well documented, ...

Gilbert Morris

Bethany House Publishers, 1999

I couldn't put it down!
Yes, you may be surprised at the type of writing, and check to see if you have a Gilbert Morris book, but it's true. Even though it's different than his normal style of writing, I enjoyed it very much. The suspense kept me reading to find out how it would turn out. Enjoy!
