"Vinyl Wonderland" Gets its First Review!
Follow the link below to "Black Gate: Adventures in Fantasy Literature," where Rich Horton, former editor of the "Year's Best Science Fiction" series gives "Vinyl Wonderland" a stellar review.
The review focuses a bit on plot, so if you want to know how much he loved it without falling prey to SPOILER ALERTS, then read the first paragraph, and then the last two.
It is a VERY complimentary review!

"'Don't go,' Dunworthy said." But Kivin, Dunworthy's protege does go, and Willis guides us the rest of the way. I can't think of many books that so thoroughly wreck their protagonists, so be warned: if you pick this one up looking for an escapist read, ...more |

| Speaking as a sometime screenwriter, but not a Westlake expert, I have never encountered a book that reads so much like a movie script, or would be so easy to adapt. I have to wonder if Westlake first wrote it AS a screenplay, then switched it over t ...more | |

| An homage to both Broadway and classic Hollywood, the brilliant Connie Willis reinvents "All About Eve" with an eye toward the labor (and human) rights of robots. A lively take on how cyborgs might yet "steal" our jobs, and with a surprising solution ...more | |

If you're a prude, steer clear. If you happen to think that constant bonking is a perfectly legitimate recreational pastime, and if you feel that music and fools be the food of love, read on! Yes, it's funny. Yes, it's "King Lear" bound and gagged and ...more |

I selected this as a result of spotting it on a compiled list of "funny books." And it is funny, in its wry, hell-in-a-handbasket way. The details are exquisite and excruciating, and our narrator's history and future reveal themselves delightfully slow ...more |

| This book is laugh-out-loud funny, and would be even more hilarious if it were read out loud. The send-ups of Victorian mores, furniture, pets, obsessions, etc., is spot-on. And the book itself functions as an endlessly inventive critique of romance ...more | |

| Hiding under a playful facade is a serious treatise using linked poems, an excavation of the poet's own body in the wake of physical collapse. How to respond when your own body betrays you, early in life? Poetry, for Mullins, was and is the primary, ...more | |
