Every Sigh, the End: A Novel About Zombies 23 reviews
Jason S. Hornsby
Permuted Press, 2007
A breath of fresh air in the zombie genre!
+ Surreal, new-wave, unique, and intelligent zombie horror
+ Fast service and as advertised.
Iconic. This was the first word that came to mind when I began reading Jason S. Hornsby's new zombie novel Every Sigh, The End (Permuted Press, 2007). Within each decade there are a few special artists of words who possess the ability to intimately capture the soul of their generation, the ...

The History of Kuwait (The Greenwood Histories of the Modern Nations)
Michael S. Casey
Greenwood Press, 2007
The tiny country of Kuwait grabbed the world's attention during the Gulf War, during which its natural petroleum resource became the envy of its neighboring country of Iraq. But Kuwait's history goes back long before any oil was discovered, back to Mesopotamian settlements as early as 3000 BCE. Ideal for high school students as well as general readers, History of Kuwait offers a comprehensive ...

Michael Boatman
Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2007
A Wonderful Debut
+ fast, violent, and unsympathetic
+ Dark, Skanky, Funky Little Twisted Tales: Performance Art
Michael Boatman's debut collection is not one to miss by any means. He blends humor with horror, the strange with the unknown--and I loved it!
Reading through the pages, it just slipped right through my fingers, and before I knew it I was done with the book begging for there to be more. This is a ...

Israel Zangwill
Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2006
Why I published this book
This is a Dybbuk Press book and I published it, so obviously this isn't an unbiased review. But what review ever is?
Anyhow, this is a Victorian novella by Israel Zangwill more known for his zionist activities than his literary output these days. His most famous books are Children of the Ghetto ...

The Twilight Zone Companion61 reviews
Marc Scott Zicree
Silman-James Press, 1992
Doesn't Hit the Mark
+ "You unlock this door with the key to imagination...."
+ Great Book
Jason Collison's review on this site hits the mark. Zicree's book is good but isn't the final word on the matter. The book is littered with errors. The wrong airdate for "Long Distance Call" and William Froug's faulted memory regarding the cost factors in "An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge" has ...

The Burma Road: The Epic Story of the China-Burma-India Theater in World War II (P.S.)30 reviews
Donovan Webster
Harper Perennial, 2004
Incredible book - and it's all true!
+ They Also Served-and Fought
+ A Very Good Book About A Much Undertold Story
The Road to Burma was an unexpected treat for me; a gift from my son who lives and teaches in Myanmar. Much of the story was so incredible that it seemed like it could have been written by Dean Koontz or Tolkein. In this regard, there were:
* 8-foot tigers who stalked the Japanese troops

The Big Bow Mystery3 reviews
Israel Zangwill
Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2007
Historically significant and a great read
The fact that the mystery disappears after the second chapter in no way detracts from the joy of this book. From widowed boarding house attendants to freeloading artists to a detective that might as well be the anti-Sherlock Holmes, this is one of the funniest and meanest books to come out of the ...
