One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to get out a soft blanket, pour a fresh mug of coffee, and curl up with a good book. When I was younger, a good portion of my autumn afternoons and evenings were spent this way. Sadly, as an adult, I don’t get as much time with my...

It’s been said that Stephen King can draw inspiration from nearly any topic. After reading this book, I’d say that statement certainly has some credibility. In the most basic of summaries, Roadwork is a novel about the horrors of imminent domain. Of course, in reality, there’s much more to it than that. Like several of the King books I’ve...
Halloween is almost upon us. What better time is there to curl up with another one of Stephen King’s classic novels? Yes, I know I haven’t really been restricting my King consumption just to the month of October. In fact, I read his books throughout most of the last year. But, can you blame me? Once you dive in, they...
Ever since I was a child I’ve been an avid reader. I enjoy all sorts of books; fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and oddly enough, biographies. There’s just something about hearing the inside scoop on someone that I’m interested in that appeals to me. That’s why when I learned that Reggie Fils-Amie’ was going to writing an autobiography I knew I had...
It’s very rare that I pick up a new book on release day. It’s even rarer for me to read through it in less than forty-eight hours. But that’s exactly what happened with Slaying the Dragon by Ben Riggs. Now, I will go on record and say up front, this is not a book for everyone. The subtitle reads “A...

I feel sort of bad for pushing all my other books aside to go on a Stephen King binge. But honestly, I can’t say I really regret it. His novels are nothing short of addicting. Today, I’m going to focus on the fan-favorite The Dead Zone. As a teenager, I read a number of King’s earliest works. But this...
After a bit of a break, I’m back with another Star Wars book review. Well sort of… Dooku: Jedi Lost isn’t actually a book, per se. Yes, you can purchase it in paperback form. But what you’d be buying isn’t actually a novel. Instead, it would be a transcript of an audio drama. (Which is the proper form of this...
What can I say? After my recent read of The Stand, I found myself completely hooked on Stephen King. Even though I had several other books on my list of things to read, I couldn’t resist the urge to dive into another one of King’s novels. So, continuing my practice of reading things by date of publication, I decided to...
I know I typically save my Stephen King book reviews for the month of October. But last month, like so many other people, I found myself diagnosed with Covid-19. Thankfully, it was only the mild Omicron variant, so I recovered rather quickly. But still, it got me thinking about just how quickly Covid spread across the globe. It started out...
The last time I reviewed a Star Wars novel it didn’t go very well. The book in question was A Crash of Fate. This was a novel created for the sole purpose of drumming up hype for Disney’s new Galaxy’s Edge theme park. The story itself wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t particularly good either. In the end, the book appeared...
