Slap Happy Fun Time

Fast Times At Cine Mega Plex High 5/5 stars                                                         This has been on my to be read list since it first came out, but then I got a bit sidetracked which happens more than I care to admit. As I looked through my Kindle app I rediscovered this and I began to read. Vaughn is a talented guy. He knows how to create these weird, sick stories, but they're well written, and laced with the right amount of black humor that you can't help but laugh at. It's a short story collection where all the stories are linked together, and influenced by various film genres. Thing is, Vaughn has put his own little spin on each genre so it becomes something a bit darker and far more twisted.        While it may offend some readers, if you're a fan of weird fiction, this is a classic that spoofs some ...

Fiends - Richard Laymon 4/5 stars                                                                                                                                         Fiend is an interesting short story collection, and at times, it doesn't feel like a Richard Laymon book. The opening novella is classic Laymon, but it for all of its brutality, there's a bit of a disconnect. This is what we've come to expect from the guy, but here, it's just to lure in his faithful readers, and Fiends as a whole just feels nonsensical. Who acts this way? Why are these people so fucking stupid? Laymon is better than this, and as the collection rolls on it's clea...

Big Little Lies - Liane Moriarty 5/5                                                                                                               At the core of Lies is a mystery. We know something bad happened at Trivia Night, but what? As I read this I knew I was in for something special, a book that you simply don't read, you become absorbed in it. There's a lot of detail, and thought placed in the plot which moves at a steady clip. What makes the novel so interesting are the characters. These women are larger than life and you begin to feel an attachment to them. They each have their own crisis, their own secrets which becomes the glue that holds everything together. There's an explosion coming, you can fee...

Game of Hos - Jimmy Pudge - 5/5 stars     https://www.amazon.com/Game-Hos-Jimmy-Pudge-ebook/dp/B01FJ3NVOE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465500403&sr=8-1&keywords=Game+Of+Hos                                                                                                                      When Jimmy Pudge gave me a copy of his latest book to review it was as if Christmas had come early. For those unfamiliar with his work there’s no correct way to describe his it. It’s a bunch of different genres thrown into a blender and made into a tasty genre smoothie. You have splatterpunk, satire, horror and sometimes even a little romance. Hos is a ghetto version of Game Of Thrones ...
