“Why don’t you come to your senses?” Life In The Fast Lane: The Eagles’ Reckless Ride Down The Rock & Roll Highway is a very decent read. The author, Mick Wall, is notorious for his sometimes scathing looks at some of the biggest acts in rock and metal. This book plays nice for the mostContinue reading “Tunes: Life In The Fast Lane (2023)”

Dime Store Reads: Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?
“The electric things have their life too.” First published in the late 1960’s, Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is an odd book that plays straight for the most part but wanders into disjointed realms (on purpose) at times. I picked this book up for three bucks at a local Dollar GeneralContinue reading “Dime Store Reads: Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?”
DC Comics Cover Art: 350 Of The Greatest Covers In DC’s History
Before You Get To The Story….. Without a great cover to draw you in, books will simply sit on shelves unread. If the cover works, however, great stories can be discovered and shared with others.

The Reapers Take Aim At A Yautja At the end of 2020, I offered up my first Dime Store Reads post. It was a brief review of the novelization of the film The Predator from 2018.

Dime Store Reads: Pacific Rim Uprising Official Film Novelization
Getting “Pentecost”-al! My latest discovery on the Dollar General book rack happened to be the novelization of a film that I enjoyed for the most part. Pacific Rim Uprising was a decent film but it lacked the style and overall “coolness” of its predecessor. The printed version of the story was a fun read, butContinue reading “Dime Store Reads: Pacific Rim Uprising Official Film Novelization”

None of the books that I review will cost more thanContinue reading “Dime Store Reads: The Predator: The Official Movie Novelization”
Hollywood Gothic by David J. Skal
Pages dripping with blood-soaked tales…. I’ve been meaning to read Hollywood Gothic by David J. Skal for weeks now, but between two hurricanes and an ongoing onslaught of overtime at work thanks to said hurricanes, I’ve only recently completed the book. It’s an informative read with plenty of humor laced throughout. Skal does a greatContinue reading “Hollywood Gothic by David J. Skal”
Bookish About Boggy Creek
Fouke, Arkansas When I was nine years old, my family went to the movies to see a film entitled Boggy Creek 2: And The Legend Continues… which was actually the third film in the Legend of Boggy Creek series. There aren’t many people that consider this particular film to be great, but for young me,Continue reading “Bookish About Boggy Creek”
