Brides of the Impaler (Leisure Fiction) 13 reviews
Edward Lee
Leisure Books, 2008
Awesome
When I read the synopsis of this book, it seemed interesting, but synopsises are sometimes the best parts of a book...not in this case!!
Brides of the Impaler was an awesome book. It could be subtitled, Rosemary's Baby Meets Dracula. Rarely was there a lull in the story. The characters were ...

Harlan Ellison
Mariner Books, 1998
Perhaps his best work...
+ An uneven, but worthwhile, collection of stories themed around death
This is Ellison at his finest. There's nothing much to add beyond the other positive reviews, but I did purchase this as a gift for a friend of mine with a literary bent who had always skipped Harlan because he "doesn't like Science Fiction". Needless to say, he's catching up on the rest of ...
