Kinky Friedman meets Neil Gaiman! Cool!
The back cover blurb of this book led me to think that this would be either the coolest book ever, or one of the worst. Fortunately I was pleasantly surprised. Roberson has created a whole new thing: a supernatural murder mystery. I think that fans of both mysteries and sf/fantasy would like it. Mostly it's just a very interesting story about a freelance journalist who gets caught up in a web of ...

Matthew Sturges
Clockwork Storybook, 2001
A Remarkable First Book
Sturges combines science fiction, horror, mystery and mythology in this gripping collection of short stories. Each work is totally different, but they are all instantly absorbing and mucho creepy. The common thread throughout the collection is the location, the fictional California city of San Cibola, created by Sturges and 3 other Clockwork Storybook writers in their "online shared world ...

Bill Willingham
Clockwork Storybook, 2001
Exciting and thought-provoking
While the publisher's summary may make it sound like a children's book, I have discovered that its adventures are as exciting as they are thought-provoking. Every page fills the reader with questions. And every time a question is answered, more rise up to fill its place. While young readers will surely enjoy the adventure, older readers will enjoy its deeply probing questions of life, freedom and ...

Elvis, Cupid, and Stercutus! O MY!
Mr. Finn's book, Gods New and Used, is the perfect thing for people who don't like fantasy, but know what they like. Each story give little tidbits that add up, like nested boxes, until finally in the last story, everything comes together. My favorite novelette is The Secret Life of Lawrence Croft. It's funny, mean, scary, and very true to life. If you are a member of fandom, this book is ...

Clockwork Storybook, 2002
A solid, entertaining yarn from a talented new writer
First off, in the interest of full disclosure, I have to say that Matt Sturges is a friend of mine. That said, though, I also have to say that my momma raised me right - she taught me that if you don't have something good to say, don't say anything. If I didn't honestly think _Midwinter_ was a hell of a good read, I wouldn't have written this review - I would have written him a private e-mail ...

Pulp revitalized
Having grown up reading Edgar Rice Burroughs, Max Brand, and H.P.Lovecraft,this book had me going back to the bookcase to reread some old favorites. Mr. Finn's style evokes the memory of these great writers while bringing the genre into the 21st century. The lead character, Sam Bowen, brings the excitement of John Carter, Tarzan, and James Bond into a fictional setting of San Cibola in search of ...
