"HAWKES HARBOR by S.E. Hinton: I just finished reading this. I burned through it once it came to my attention and I realized what it was. It was originally intended, in 1999, to be a part of HarperCollins' line of Dark Shadows novels, but was…"

"I didn't realize that The Birds, Rebecca and Don't Look Now were all written by the same person. I first sought out the movie Don't Look Now after Alan Moore referenced it in a Swamp Thing story. I may buy this new collection. Thanks for bringing it…"
"Daphne du Maurier Wrote Butt-Kicking Horror
If they have heard of The Birds, most people will think it was written by Alfred Hitchcock. I recently watched, for only the second time, his ambitious movie adaptation of the short story by Daphne du…"

"Call and Response, a solid (thus far) collection of short fiction by Christopher Caldwell which combine realism with fantastic elements. (Confusingly, there is more than one writer by this name, and several books by this title).

"I just finished reading Godzilla Minus One, by Takashi Yamazaki (translated by Evan Ward). It's a novelization of the film by the film's director, and as such, it's very true to the film. There's a certain amount of character development, but not…"

"Currently re-reading The Saga of the Volsungs. Interesting stuff, especially if you're into Norse myths and legends. It's said to have influnnced both Wagner and Tolkien. It's only 75 pages long, so it's a quick read."
"Just finished Ultraseven: The Official Novel of the Series, by Pat Cadigan. I enjoyed it, I found it a fun read. Since I haven't seen the series, I can't speak to how faithful the novel is to it. My suspicion is that it's about as "fathful" as…"
"I just finished some short stories by Avram Davidson, an often-overlooked SF/Fantasy writer most active from the 50s-70s. His Masters of the Maze is excellent. This collection (and he has many), What Strange Stars and Skies (1965), is a mixed lot.…"
