Review:

October, 2009

Saturday, October 31, 2009 -- The Twilight Zone: Unlocking the Door to a Television Classic by Martin Grams, Jr.

"You are travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!"

Monday, October 26, 2009 -- Midnight Picnic by Nick Antosca

Midnight Picnic is GUD contributor Nick Antosca's second novel, but is written with such assurance and skill that it might more easily be his twenty-second. On the first page, Antosca draws the reader in to unwilling protagonist Bram's world, which is about to get uncanily strange.

Monday, October 19, 2009 -- Martyrs & Monsters by Robert Dunbar

Martyrs & Monsters by Robert Dunbar is a motley collection of short stories that address almost all manner of the supernatural and fantastical, from vampires to sea serpents. And, of course, the Jersey Devil is figured in, being a staple figure of curiosity in Mr. Dunbar's other works.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009 -- WolfSongs Vol.1, edited by M.H. Bonham

The first WolfSongs anthology arguably contains every wolf story you'll ever need. There are love stories, stories of magic and enchantment, scary stories, heart-warming stories, and, most important of all, wolves. Human wolves and wolfy humans. Snow and blood.

Monday, October 5, 2009 -- Garbage Man by Joseph D'Lacey
