Read this book if you want to have any sort of relevant discussion about geek culture in the future. Wonderfully sarcastic and biting Hurley delivers the goods right on time.

A perfect collection of horror short stories with a gritty, Southern style. These will stay with you long after you've finished. I cannot wait to read more form Ballingrud.

A must-read if you like horror short stories.

Excellent short story collection. Creepy, mournful, haunting, and truly charming.

Southern gothic short horror stories? Yes, please and thank you.

This whole series is pure magic! A great graphic novel series for young readers. Reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes.

A family curse, generational dysfunction, mysterious books, tarot, and circus mermaids that drown - The Book of Speculation is an absorbing story of American sideshow acts, gypsy curses, mysticism, ramshackle houses, and the inter-workings of libraries all set against the grey Atlantic.

A great book covering the gambit of Republic-era Rome. Beard discusses the public and private lives of Romans with crisp detail that will entice the lay-reader.

Any commentary I present on this book will be inadequate. Simply put, Baldwin is just as relevant now as in the 1960s. If this has been on your shelf now is the time to take it off and discuss.

This was the story that fans of Practical Magic have been waiting for. With The Rules of Magic we return to the world of the Owens women and focus on the origin story of the Aunts. A true delight that weaves counter-culture of New York during the 60s with the magic of a family that already dances to their own music.
