This novel is more an accompanying piece to the original, rather than one that occurs in parallel to the original plot, themes, etc. An unreliable narrator is killed, forced to become something he does not— even in his worst nightmares—wish to become. In fact he takes an excessive amount of time try...
11/4 - The only exposure I've had to Frankenstein is through Kenneth Brannagh's movie version - I've never actually read the book (it's on my list). So I can't compare Zeltserman's writing to Shelley's and from reading other reviews I get the feeling this may be of benefit to me while I'm reading i...
1.5 stars because I finished. Really....horror?? I must not know what horror is because this book is a far cry from what I think is horror. It is so slow and right when it starts to pick up it ends just like that. Horror? I'm scratching my on this one. I wouldn't even deem this thriller or suspense.
Brainycat's 5 Bs:blood: 5boobs:5bombs: 3bondage: 4blasphemy: 4This is a fun little collection of mostly forgettable dark stories with adult themes. I wouldn't necessarily call them all 'erotic', as that's generally used for highbrow smut explicit and arousing sexuality, but all of these stories invo...

He had slashed the face of the district attorney who stumbled on him during a robbery attempt and then he had tried to set f...
Humorous yet perversely authentic homage to the Rex Stout stories. Marvelous idea to make Archie a small advanced computer-like entity,* acquired somehow by Julius Katz, antithesis to Nero Wolfe. He chases women and gets plenty of exercise. Not to mention he loves gambling, and that’s where Archie’s...
28 Minuten bleiben den vier arbeitslosen Softwareentwicklern, eine Bank auszurauben. Ein perfekter Plan und die letzte Chance für den langsam erblindenden Programmierer Dan, für sich und seine Familie vorzusorgen. Doch auch ein perfekter Plan birgt Tücken und kann entsetzlich schief laufen.Dave Zelt...
What a perfect little twisted morality tale. Kind of a creep ballet.
It's a tricky bank shot, sneaking a character's villainy (or madness) under cover of a seemingly-reasonable first-person narration. Props to Zeltserman for ambition, and for a pretty readable, grimy take on conventional noir tropes......even if through the whole book I kept remembering how much I l...
