Graven Image by Charlie Williams

My review of the new novella from Charlie Williams, Graven Image, is up at spinetingler.

Give it a quick look-see right HERE.

If you're not savvy to dude's shit, click on his name down in the labels section of the post - my reviews of all three of the Mangel books are there.

Or don't. Being ignorant of all the awesome in the world might be what you consider a good lifestyle choice, I suppose.

Justified - "The I of the Storm"

My review of episode three of season two of Justified, "The I of the Storm," is up at spinetingler.

Give that shit a quick gander HERE.

You ever see a gander take a quick shit?

Jesus, I don't even know what that means but I'm ashamed of myself all the same.

The Science of Paul by Aaron Philip Clark

My review of The Science of Paul by Aaron Philip Clark is up at spinetingler.

Give that shit a look HERE.

No, dear reader, this is not the sequel to The Science of Sleep, Michel Gondry's disappointing follow-up to his masterpiece The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Or is it? (No, it's not.)

Justified - "The Life Inside"

My review of "The Life Inside," the second episode of season two of Justified, is up at spinetingler.

Give it a once over HERE.

This episode was nicely directed by Jon Avnet, the guy who directed the lazy Al Pacino thrillers 88 Minutes and Righteous Kill.

Guy does nice work with a decent script, eh?

Starting strong right out the fucking gate - already we've been introduced to the great character actors Margo Martindale and Jeremy Davies as Mags and Dickie Bennett.

Doesn't mean anything to you? IMDB that shit post-fucking-haste, you philistine!

Outsourced by Dave Zeltserman

My review of Dave Zeltserman's Outsourced is up at spinetingler.

Give it a look right HERE.

It seems Zeltserman has replaced Charlie Huston as "guy who puts out great shit and multiple times a year at that" in the crime fiction community these days.

Just saying, it's been over a year since we had a Huston novel...

Definitely gotta go back and read Smith's debut Mixed Blood now.

Guy serves it up bloody, the only way I like it.

Bleed a River Deep by Brian McGilloway

My review of Brian McGilloway's Bleed a River Deep is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

I should look into how many reviews on this blog have been of books by either Irish or Irish-American authors since I started it up.

But then again, that sounds like work...

Give it a look-see right HERE.

I'm sorry to say that there's some spoiler-y shit (properly alerted, of course) in this review. Had to be that guy, I'm afraid.
