As is true of just about every short story collection, this is uneven. I would have given it 2 stars except for the amusing surprise of finding Harlan Ellison in a noir crime collection instead of his usual home in speculative fiction.
The Basics A collection of speculative fiction by the one-and-only Harlan Ellison. Many of the stories here, including the title tale, were award winners. Should make for a strong outing. Does it? My Thoughts This was a somewhat strong collection. The title story sets the pace with some very s...
I think maybe I'm not cover enough for The Sandman series. Or maybe I haven't read enough. In no way though does this detract from this graphic novel. It gives you nightmares, makes you think and reminds you what a genius Gaiman is. The idea of everyone coming back to 'life' from hell is very creepy...
We decided to listen to Ender's Game in the car on our way home from vacation since the movie is coming out soon. I had forgotten a few things since I read it way back in the 90s I don't think I enjoyed it quite as much as I did then. There are several things that just don't ring true. The first bei...
I bought this collection of 33 science fiction stories because it was recommended in A Reader's Guide to Science Fiction on its "5 Parsec Shelf" of the best books in the genre. Here's what it said about the book: Anthologies, no matter how excellent, have seldom had enough impact to be "classics." B...
This collection knocked around since the '90s with several publishers, starting with Arkham House, giving up on it. Cemetery Dance brought it out ultimately. It had been so long in the tennis court that Lansdale couldn't find his original introduction and had to write a new one! The collection i...
I'm really torn between 4 and 5 stars on this one. As far as short story collections go, this is pretty much 5 stars (there were only a few stories that I really didn't care for, and I read all but one of them). I think the only one I skipped was "Two of a Kind" by Jacquelyn Mitchard. It just seemed...

The second volume of Batman: Black & White is much like the first. Editor Mark Chiarello gathers together some of the most acclaimed writers and artists who then produce short stories about The Dark Knight. While I didn’t find the overall experience as strong as the first collection, there were st...
