The Bestiary

December 21, 2015 by Drew

The Short Version: Compiled by Ann VanderMeer, The Bestiary presents just that: a collection of short writing about strange creatures, one for each letter of the alphabet (as well as ‘&’ and an invisible letter). The Review: I think sometimes that there isn’t quite enough wonder in the world, particularly of the magical variety. I don’t necessarily mean the magic of wand-waving wizards and the like (although they’re not excluded) but the sort of magic that comes from a moment’s turn […]

The Sasquatch Hunter’s Almanac

October 8, 2014 by Drew

The Short Version: Eli Roebuck’s mother runs off one day with a big, rather hirsute fellow named “Mr. Krantz” – whom Eli believes to be a sasquatch.  He makes it his life’s mission to find the mythic beast, even as his family falters in facing their own struggles (some mythic and some mundane) around him. The Review: One of my favorite books, for its sheer ingenuity and seasonal perfection, is a book called Of Bees and Mist.  The world of that […]

Wild Thing (Peter Brown #2)

July 24, 2012 by Drew

The Short Version: Peter Brown (aka Pietro Brnwa) has gone into hiding, again, this time as Dr. Lionel Azimuth – a cruise ship doctor.  He’s plucked from this rather ignominious gig by his old mentor and ends up heading into the Minnesota wilderness with a sexy paleontologist on behalf of a reclusive billionaire, tasked with protecting said billionaire… because they’re looking for a lake monster.  Of course, there’s far more than meets the eye happening here – and Azimuth/Brown/Brnwa struggles to keep himself afloat […]
