Audio version - read by Matt Godfrey - he did a damn fine job. I don't think I will be able to read another McDowell audio book unless Godfrey is reading it. Thanks to all the Booklikers who read this and posted it about it. Picked it up because of you all. This is so damn good. It's Southern...

text The Nameless Dark by T.E. Grau
T.E. Grau offers up an impressive collection of weird tales, bringing a fresh, new and compelling voice to the classic sub-genre. These stories will haunt you into the deep hours of the night...and they will have you thinking the rest of the time.T.E. Grau is an author to watch.Highly recommended.

I fully admit that my expectations for horror were rather remarkably high going in. The first time I saw this on a list of "sca...

text Naked City Mini #Book #Review
This anthology is worth reading for Jim Butcher's Curses, Ellen Kushner's Duke of Riverside, Patricia Briggs' Fairy Gifts, and Melissa Marr's Guns for the Dead. Naked City: Tales of Urban Fantasy begins strong with a Dresden Files short story, but readers should be forewarned that many of the shor...
