Yes, from the plot description you already know where this one is going. It's a wonderful little book though, with lovely illustrations and some fun moments. A definite win for my daughter, although I think we both prefer the Narwhal book. 4/5 stars. ...more
I'm about to make a statement that many will find the most preposterous thing I've ever written in a review. This will likely be deemed so ridiculous I'm about to make a statement that many will find the most preposterous thing I've ever written in a review. This will likely be deemed so ridiculous because it is (a) only May 1st and (b) a year where I've already read several books by authors like Dickens, Steinbeck and Faulkner� but I'm declaring this my favorite read of 2022.
It not reasonable to even think I'll find something I like better. This is the book I've literally wanted my entire adult life. A slice of life fantasy novel, no adventure, no wars, just the everyday lives of people in a high fantasy setting doing stuff while adventures do their own thing and mostly leave them alone. It's the relaxing nature of Becky Chamber's science fiction novels but as a fantasy.
The plot is just about an orc setting up a coffee shop, and the coworkers/friends she makes in the process of getting the business going.
The tagline of the book is that it's a "High Fantasy with Low Stakes" and I love that. I know this won't be a book for everyone, I can already hear some fantasy fans sneering at the concept, but I love this more than I can possibly say.
This is the most feel good book I've ever read. While there is humor, it is not taking a Pratchett comedic tone to the entire thing. It's just� well, life in a fantasy world. It's� charming to the extreme. I read it on my kindle because I had a trial of Kindle Unlimited, but I'm buying a physical copy as ell because I need it in my home library. This is a book I see myself revisiting whenever I need a pick me up. Whenever the world seems gloomy� this is a book to relax and enjoy with a nice cup of coffee.
It may not be for you, but I give it a full 5/5 stars and my strongest recommendation.
Oh, and I do truly hope were get a sequel or that the author at least writes another book in this same world along the same slice of life feel (even if its different protagonists doing a different type of job). I can honestly say if it does continue, it would be my favorite fantasy series....more
Stephen King has been the king of horror for so long, that people always seem surprised when he tries something else. A time travel story? "Can he do Stephen King has been the king of horror for so long, that people always seem surprised when he tries something else. A time travel story? "Can he do it?!?" A crime trilogy? "WHAT?!?!?!" Whenever he tries something different people seem surprised, and it's been that way throughout his career.
King initially wrote this book for his daughter, because she didn't like his "scary" books. As such, this is honestly the easiest to read King novel, it's a short fantasy and it's written in a way that may have some adult material, but is fairly easy for a younger audience to process� in other words, it's a fairy tale.
When initially published, this was not received well by many fans. In fact, I read an interview once where King said how fitting it was that this and Misery (a book where a fan loses her mind at the idea of her favorite author trying something different) came out the same year.
Honestly as fan of fairy tales, fantasy and King, I loved it. It very much is a young adult book, in fact I would honestly say middle grade if not for a few scenes. That said it's not condescending, and is very readable still as an adult. While I can't say it is my favorite of his books, this is definitely not anywhere the worst of King's writing and it would also be my suggestion as a good introduction book to King if you have a younger reader who wants to try him (or for someone intimated by horror but wants to give him a shot)
Also, Dark Tower fans, you need to read this one for a couple of the references. Trust me. 4/5 stars....more

Something in the snow is watching them, listening to their very dreams and takes a great interest in the pair� something that wants to know everything there is to know about them.
This book has been coming highly recommended from multiple sources and frankly, I was all about it. It started off a "Creepy Pasta" on the No Sleep Reddit board, and I do have a love for those internet horror stories. Whenever one becomes a full fledged novel, I feel a little bit of joy (the Patient and Pen Pal for example)� and I must say, I understand why this one gets some love.
This has, without a doubt, one of the most chilling openings I've ever read. I'm a pretty seasoned horror reader, but I had goosebumps and was looking at the pages just going "oh shit." Had it just been that as a short story I would have called it an all time great.
It was not a short a story though, and as things stand it is still an enjoyable novel, but sadly not the masterpiece of terror that it started with.
The biggest problem with this book is that it feels so repetitive. We keep going through the same motions. Fall asleep, weird things in the night, tall figure running away� keep repeating with some variation on the same thing. As a reader, after a while, what was frightening became overdone and a touch boring. I was more than halfway through the book at the beginning of the month, but set it down and read several other books because I was tired of the repetition and needed something else for a bit. It really hurt the story for me, and honestly I think the book would have been better had it been cut down to more of a novella length.
Complaints aside, it's a fairly enjoyable read, and given the overwhelmingly high ratings among my friends, this likely doesn't bother many readers as much as it did me. I absolutely suggest horror fans give it a shot, and I do hope it works well for you. As for me, it's an enjoyable read, but I wished it would have hit me more consistently. 3/5 stars...more

Well now, this one was fun! Four stagecoach passengers, a doctor, a newlywed couple and a lady in a red dress are on their way out west. They stop at a station for the night to get some rest, food and a little bit of relaxation before reaching their destination the next day. They do get the food, but rest and relaxation are not what is in store for them, and many people will die that night.
This one is a fun little work of horror. While I've found almost all of the Splatter Western series fun, this one is pretty great in how it plays off expectations. Some of it plays out the way you would expect, but there's enough twist and turns here to keep the reader guessing and also surprise you with how capable on the characters really is.
The book is short, but its surprisingly a slow burn. About the first half of the book is conversations, getting to know the characters and setting up plot lines which admittedly become a bit irreverent when things finally go down. The second half is nonstop gruesome violence and while all of the books in this series have been fairly brutal, this one surprised me in how intense it was. Let me clarify, in terms of gore and such, this is actually one of the tamer books in the series, it's not as graphic as any of the other books that I've read in the lineup� but it is more intense and honestly one of the most suspenseful.
This, along with The Magpie Coffin, stand as a really good introduction to this sub-genre of Western Horror. Both tell a good stand alone tale that leave you hoping the author's will write a sequel, and both are well worth a horror fan's time. 4/5 stars...more

He, for obvious reasons, does not want a bird on his head. Things get worse for Gerald as rather than ridding himself of the bird, it seems to decide to start a family.
All these books are designed to make children laugh, but this one is easily the silliest of the books. It goes to increasingly absurd levels which makes my daughter laugh every time. No doubt this is one is a winner for most children who want a silly story.
It's not personally one of my favorites in the series, as I generally prefer the ones focusing on the friendship of the two characters (I find those ones to be genuinely sweet and surprisingly good at getting complex feelings across to young children), but there is certainly an appeal to the weirdness of this one. 3/5 stars ...more
I've mentioned in a few of my reviews that I grew up in a household that watches a lot of classic movies. TCM and AMC (back when they were commercial I've mentioned in a few of my reviews that I grew up in a household that watches a lot of classic movies. TCM and AMC (back when they were commercial free and played movies rather than TV shows)were the two channels of choice in my house and before I was 6 I'd seen more classic films than many of my friends have seen now in my thirties. One of my favorite films as a kid was The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. It's a movie that has always stuck out to me for some reason, and while I would not included it on my top 10 anymore, it's a film I still greatly enjoy. I found it funny as a child, and delighted at Rex Harrison's performance, but saw so much more in than just the humor as I grew older (while still laughing at his performance).
A couple of years ago I found a copy of the novel in a used book store and immediately picked it up. It has remained on my shelf for years, being something I knew at some point I would want to read but never having any real desire to pick it up quite yet�
Until now.
The plot: Mrs. Muir is a young widow. She longs to escape from her overbearing sister-in-law who determines how her life should be lived. One day, she decides just to escape. She visits a cozy seaside town and falls in love with a little house by the sea. A house which happens to be haunted by an old sea captain who is very bitter that a relative he doesn't even like owns the place and is renting it out and is even more annoyed that his death was considered a suicide when it was very much an accident. Rather than the traditional ghost story where the ghost tries to kick his new residents out, what we get is a rather humorous book about two individuals who while very different, very much work towards each other's goals and build a relationship (that while sometimes is antagonistic) is very much based around things working out for the best.
I rarely use the word "charming" in reviews, but I can think of no better one. This is not the best written book, it's not extraordinarily plotted or with prose to make the reader see the world in a new light� it is a simple book, but one I really didn't want to end. It's short. It's only 170 something pages, and I reached the end with some dread as I could have continued on for another couple hundred pages. It's a cozy book. I don't know what else to say.
The book is honestly a three star read for most of it. It's fun, it's funny, but not particularly deep� but it gets that extra star for having one of the most perfect endings of any book I have ever read. Honestly it is wonderful, closing just as it was meant to be. 4/5 stars....more

The cat looks innocent enough, but then it floats, it stretches, it multiplies, it brings lovely presents of dead animals (okay, that one is fairly normal for a cat), but overall, it is very unusual.
Also a ghost lives in the house! But he's unimportant. It's all about the cat.
This is a pretty funny little comic. The art is appealing in a mix of classic manga style mixed with Tim Burton's illustrations. The jokes are mostly successful and cat is a wonderful combination of creepy/cute. The pages are fully colored for the series, and makes wonderful use of blacks and reds.
It's not the greatest series in the world, but it's appealing all around and worth a look. 3/5 stars...more

Tim's log 4/17/2022
I can feel the madness starting to take hold. I will try to document this before it is too late.
It all started innocently enough. In 2020 I was on a huge horror kick and saw a book titled "Apeshit." It was billed as a homage/parody of over the top slasher movies and sounded like fun so I gave it a shot. It was a mistake. It may not have had any apes, but the second part of the title was accurate enough.
That was my first experience with Carlton Mellick III. I thought it would be my last, but that was not to be.
A week or so back I lost a bet and had to read/review another book by the author, The Haunted Vagina. It was� shockingly not terrible, but I still can't say it was a book I really liked. It was short though, a one sitting read, so no harm done�
Then my friend Anne, the same one made the bet asked me to do a buddy a read of this book� Why did I accept? I guess I thought it could be fun. I didn't care for the other books, but they're short enough so "why not?" I thought. It's been a while since I did a buddy read, and people thought the last review was fun. What harm is there?
I am full of regrets.
This book is what would happen if David Lynch decided to re-make Mad Max as a surreal post apocalyptic porno. The book follows a humanoid sex toy, who is being used by a dominatrix warrior woman in a wasteland to produce a child. They hide in a fortress-like structure from bands of rapists who travel the wastes� and you know what, I'm not describing it anymore.
Unlike the last book I read by the author where I noted that the title may have been shocking, but it was surprisingly less weird than I expected after the first 20 or so pages, that is not the case here. The book is very much pure shock factor and written in the most goddamn bizarre way, that seems like the author decided that William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch made too much sense. To say this one is weird is like saying Picasso was rather fond of the color blue for a bit.
This book is� I don't even know what to say. The other two at least were supposed to be funny, this one is just meant be shocking� but after a while I just accepted the insanity and read getting almost bored at how it tried so hard every chapter. I just experience the book like this:

The plot is simple (as all of them are), Gerald buys an ice cream and then debates on whether to share it with his friend Piggie. His inner conflict is voiced until he finally comes to a decision� though with a bit of a twist.
My daughter adores this one and thinks it's hilarious. She particularly likes the pages where Gerald goes "hmmmm" like he's thinking then it turns into just "mmmm" like a yummy noise. It's actually a really nice visual gag as you can see the expression on his face go from thoughtful to hungry.

Have you ever read a book because you lost a bet? Well, I can now say I have. Let's get a little backstory for this:
One of my friends (who is on here Have you ever read a book because you lost a bet? Well, I can now say I have. Let's get a little backstory for this:
One of my friends (who is on here and will no doubt be loving this review soon enough) absolutely delighted in my review of the novel Apeshit (a book which, to say I hated would be putting it lightly). She in contrast really enjoyed it and many of the author's other books and has been asking me to give him another shot because if I liked it "hooray!" if I didn't "at least it should be entertaining."
Well, a bet was formed and I lost so she got to pick the book.
Why did she choose this one? "Come on, it's funny! Plus I want to see it sitting next to the more literary stuff you read when I see your end of year book challenge" Hopefully she's enjoying this.
The book is short. 90 pages with fairly large print. I was able to read it in one sitting.
�
What do you expect from me here? An in depth analysis of the book? The title pretty much sums it up� though it's really more of a gateway to another world filled with skeletons and strange creatures, but I mean, yep, the title tells you what you're getting into.
Honestly though, the book was written clearly as a comedy and those seeing that cover and title looking for an erotic read will likely be disappointed. It's more of a goofy Alice in Wonderland style tale with a sense of the macabre to it. Some of the jokes worked, some just made me roll my eyes. It's very much a "weird shit happens because weird shit is interesting" sort of book, which I'm not personally a fan of (randomness for comedy's sake just isn't my thing). Bizarro lit is just not really my thing. I know that doesn't make for a super entertaining analysis, but that's what I've got.
So� do I recommend it? I really don't know. I mean, it's likely the sort of thing you already know if you're going to enjoy just by reading the plot description. You also probably already know if it's not for you. I will say, it was not absolutely dreadful like Apeshit was, so it gets a much more positive review. Unlike the other book I did chuckle at some of the shenanigans, and despite the obviously shocking title and plot synopsis, the book felt like there was more to it than just shock value unlike the other. In many ways the most shocking thing about the book is how tame it actually was. Maybe I would have liked it more if it had embraced that batshit inanity and run with it? Past experience tells me that is unlikely, but I don't know.

Dealing with the aftermath of this, he tries to cope without anyone to help him make through life faking what he's "supposed" to feel.
This gif sums up the entire novel for me:

It really was so close. I loved getting inside this character's head. I loved seeing his attempts at getting to know others. The friendship he starts to form and how he interacts is quite clever. It was a four, possibly five star read. Really this is a book that's ruined by the last twenty pages.
Warning: Major spoilers.

Yes, I dislike Pride and Prejudice. I’ll be honest, the only reasons it gets two stars is because of its historic influence on literature and the fact that it made me laugh on a few occasions, all from dialogue by Mr. Bennet, who while a flawed character was a joy to read. I dare say it would have been a 5 star read had it just been about him sitting in his library, tired of his relations and trying to get out of the story by mocking all of them.
I just don’t get it. Don’t get me wrong, I understand it’s influence, and I respect the people who love it, but I was bored the entire time and don’t get the love for it.
Abridged recap of the book: let’s go to a party. Let’s visit someone’s house. Oh my, now they are visiting us! What fun! Oh no, drama and gossip. Elopement� scandalous. Oh, hooray, a visit. That visit went poorly, hopefully the next will be better. Huzzah, it was!
I guess if I was trying to compliment it further, I should note that it is a rare example of a “pure� character done right. Jane is the annoying “see the good in everyone� but is actually able to see ill, she just doesn’t want to. It hurts. It’s not stupidity but a form of self preservation. This is refreshing, as usually in 19th century literature their purity just shines seemingly from stupidity.
Sorry everyone, I know this is a loved classic, but all I can say is that at least I’ve crossed it off my list of ones to read. It is at this point that I must just assume that Austen is not for me (though I at least did not despise it like I did Northanger Abbey.) 2/5 stars...more

"The fact that this is a review should tell you already�" ________
I had never heard of this book outside of Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, but a shocking number of my horror loving friends have reviewed this and almost all give it extremely positive ratings. My curiosity was certainly achieved by this, but I noticed very few actually gave much in terms of plot description. As such I decided not only to give it a shot, but go in pretty much blind to what it was about.
This was honestly the best approach to this work.
There are a couple of things that frankly I've come to expect from a book that has the words "An Extreme Horror Novel" on the front. You can probably guess without me explaining what those things are just from the phrase. There are also some things I've come to expect not to find. First is what one might call quality writing. Now, when I say that I do not mean it as an insult. I've read many an extreme horror and I usually have fun with them, but their not exactly the highest quality of fiction. In a way they're like a good b-horror movie, usually short, fun, but not the sort of thing that's going to the award ceremonies.
Second thing I don't expect is to be genuinely disturbed. This one may come as a surprise to some, but while I find them fun reads, graphic violence doesn't really bother me. It usually is something psychological in my horror that ends up being the thing that makes me put a book down and shudder.
Imagine my surprise when this book managed to have quality writing and a chapter that I genuinely felt myself recoiling from the page. The scene that got to me isn't even the most graphic or horrific scene in the book, but the way it was described my brain just kept on going "nope, we're done here. Put it down" while I continued reading like someone watching a trainwreck unable to avert my gaze. (view spoiler)[For those of you who've read the book, it's the coat hanger abortion scene. (hide spoiler)]
This is actually a well written horror novel. There's a psychological depth to it. There are some absolutely horrific scenes� and there's almost a sense of the poetic to it. Yes, you are getting a book with horrible uses of bodily functions and deaths/mutilations described in loving detail, but you're also getting a book with deeper ideas. What are those ideas?
I really can't say without ruining the book. This is one where knowing what it's even truly about kind of ruins the first experience. I will say it is DEFINITELY not for everyone. It has some truly stomach churning descriptions for many readers and some of the sexual scenes in it will no doubt really bother some, but if you've a strong stomach and would like an extreme horror with a bit of a literary ambition, this one gets a solid recommendation. 4/5 stars....more
