  • SERIAL by Blake Crouch & Jack Kilborn on July 27, 2009
    star star star star
    A clever and gruesome little story. If you like lurid tales of serial killers, you'll enjoy this. Not my usual reading fare, but I do love irony. This story has that too, and the authors were clearly having a bit of macabre fun with this one. Not suggested for readers with delicate sensibilities.
  • The Rumors Swirling About James Patterson (Story) on Oct. 23, 2010

    Ever wonder how bestselling author James Patterson churns out so many new books so fast? The truth is revealed in this witty exposé. It is pretty much the way I always imagined it. See for yourself...
  • Spinward Fringe Broadcast 0: Origins on Feb. 23, 2011
    star star star star star
    An exciting beginning to this excellent series. Three fast-moving novellas introduce the Spinward Fringe universe and a cast of fascinating characters whose adventures will keep you eagerly clicking to the next page. Great action and intrigue, and a story that keeps surprising you until the very last page. My only warning is that if you read this free download you'll find yourself compelled to buy the rest of the series.
  • Spinward Fringe Broadcast 5: Fracture on March 11, 2011
    star star star star star
    Previous entries in the ongoing Spinward Fringe saga had the sprawling feel of a classic Edgar Rice Burroughs yarn, with several groups of characters having independent (though interrelated) adventures scattered across various ships and planets, but ultimately converging (at least those who survive). Lalonde changes up the pace with Broadcast 5: Fracture. It is a faster read than the last couple of outings. Though characters do split up, the action is tight and focused, covering one very hectic day in the life of the rogue ship Triton. If Spinward Fringe were a series on the Channel-Formerly-Known-As-SciFi, Fracture could be this week's episode: "The crew of the badly damaged Triton respond to a distress signal and come to the aid of an isolated space station under assault by raiders. But all is not as it seems in the Ossimi Ring." We get great action and problem-solving, several key character relationships advance, and there is a new development in the larger plot that promises more trouble ahead for the Triton crew. I'm definitely tuning in next week!
  • The Dancer in the Dark on Sep. 01, 2011
    star star star star star
    Proving that the South can be every bit as haunted by creeping horrors and deep mysteries best left buried as H.P. Lovecraft's New England, Fuller and Strickland bring the Cthulhu mythos down to Georgia in a well-crafted and suspenseful tale. Certain passages echo the prose of the pallid gentleman from Providence, and there is the obligatory reference to the Necronomicon, but this is not a Lovecraft pastiche. Rather, a worthy expansion of the mythos into new territory that also stands on its own. Readers who don't know an Old One from Old Spice will still enjoy this story as a creepy period tale of terror. The vivid characters are far more warmly drawn and well-rounded than Lovecraft ever managed. The pace is brisk, the tension taut, the stakes high. (And if you happen to be familiar with the Georgia setting, you'll enjoy all the nice local touches!)
