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 ...
