My Best Friend’s Exorcism

October 19, 2016 by Drew

The Short Version: Abby and Gretchen have been inseparable best friends since elementary school. Now sophomores in high school, they (along with two other girls) pretty much rule the roost. But after Gretchen disappears in the woods during a rowdy party weekend, she comes back… different. Soon, things start changing in town and Abby’s the only one who notices that Gretchen has changed too – she’s not herself… The Review: Grady Hendrix’s first book, Horrorstör, was a visual object as much […]

Horrorstör

October 24, 2014 by Drew

The Short Version: Amy is an ordinary worker at Orsk in Cuyahoga, OH.  But this is no ordinary Orsk: the staff has been coming in in the mornings to find destroyed furniture and other creepy messes – and Amy, low man on the totem pole, gets tapped to stay overnight with her boss and another employee.  What ensues is a horrifying descent into near-madness. The Review: Right out of the gate, we must address the physical object.  A friend of mine, […]

World of Trouble

June 26, 2014 by Drew

The Short Version: The end of the world is, quite literally, nigh – but Hank Palace has one case left to close.  As he tries to run down his sister (who thinks she’s going to save the world), the clock is dwindling and loose ends are everywhere.  But the last policeman can’t let the world end just yet. The Review: Man. Give me a minute. For one thing, I’d recommend reading this trilogy as back-to-back as you can.  There is […]

Countdown City

May 20, 2014 by Drew

The Short Version: Detective – well, formerly Detective – Hank Palace is doing the best he can trying to keep an eye on everyone he can as doomsday marches inexorably closer.  When his old babysitter asks him to find her husband, he dives into the case – and takes us on a journey through an increasingly dangerous landscape as our time ticks away… The Review: I read the first book on a Sunday and, by the time I woke up […]

2013 – The RB Lit Review

December 31, 2013 by Drew

Well hello, dear readers. Amazingly, we’ve come to the end of another year – our fourth, here at Raging Biblioholism.  Can you believe it?  2014 is upon us – who’d’ve ever imagined it?  But, before the year turns over and starts anew, it’s time to take a quick look back on the year that’s passed.  We successfully expanded the content of the blog into editorials and features and recaps – all of which will continue to expand in our fifth […]

The Geek’s Guide to Dating – READALONG Pt. 5

November 23, 2013 by Drew

When Lori and Drew both ended up with copies of The Geek’s Guide to Dating, a brilliantly insane idea struck.  While they both love books and are self-professed geeks, their lives are otherwise almost diametrically opposed:  Boy vs girl – check. Young twenty-something vs late thirty-something – check. Recently single vs long time couple – check. No kids vs kids – check.   And so a read-along was proposed, with a running email conversation, as they delved into one man’s guide to […]
