The Midnight Of The Soul The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson is one of those books that hooks the reader with its dark, cynical humor and slowly reveals itself to have far more depth that one would have thought. In the narrator, we have presented a figure from the most debauched corners of the devil’s playground. […]
Mystery And Love The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley is the sort of book that wraps you in a soft cashmere blanket of a story and then draws you, inexorably, closer and closer to the fire at the heart of it’s tale. I stumbled upon this book while trolling through the audiobook offerings at my […]
One Boy The Sum Of All Kisses by Julia Quinn starts off with a flash back to the night that Hugh Prentice and Daniel Smythe-Smith dueled, a night that irrevocably changed their lives for the worse. We know from the previous book in this series, A Night Like This, that Huge and Daniel are able […]

The Shining Like so many Stephen King fans, The Shining was one of his books I enjoyed thoroughly. I read it after I saw the Stanley Kubrick film version and the book is by far creepier. I loved how Stephen King imbued the hotel with a preternatural malevolence. So it was with great expectations that I […]

A Powerful Work Of Art It’s not often that I read something and am struck by the sheer weight of how profound it is, but that is exactly what happened when I listened to this play. Intimate and yet at the same time universal, Disgraced by Ayad Akhtar completely undid me, leaving me deeply moved. Set in […]
Many Worlds I fell in love with Anna Jarzab’s writing a few years ago, when I listened to (in one of my very early audiobook forays) her absolutely stellar, stand alone novel, All Unquiet Things. So when I heard at BEA that Ms. Jarzab was putting out a sci-fi, YA novel this year, I was […]

Schoolyard Schadenfreude It takes a particular kind of author to shine a light into the intricate, often insensible, inner workings of parental/school politics, but Gill Hornby does so with a deft hand. With a clear eye and often a wry smile, Ms. Hornby takes us into the lives of these women and lets us see […]
