Think of Edgar Allen Poe or you might want to think of HBO’s Tales from the Crypt. Alfred Hitchcock’s TV tales might also come to mind when you read Simon Marshland’s 15 short/short stories titled after the first of the strange tales - A Case of Blackrock Mineral Water.

Not all of the stories end with someone saying hello to death and there is at least one (find it for yourself) that actually does have a happy ending. That said, all of the stories do look at life from a far-side point…

My Book Review of Mad About The Boy by Suzan Battah. http://jerseygirlbookreviews.blogspot.com/2012/02/mad-about-boy-by-suzan-battah.html…

When I choose a novel to read, I want to be drawn into the fictional world that the author has created. Naturally, I look for a strong plot, believable characters and an interesting setting. Those are all important elements in fiction but, to me, the most memorable books use the five senses to make the story, the characters and the setting come alive. I can always count on my favorite authors to do that. I’ve…

A Reel Cool Summer by Martha Rodriguez

Apart from the wonderful drawings, I found this story delightful. I loved the way it delved into the minds of children and made me remember not only my own childhood but those of my children. It made my smile wide.

Even this reviewer would pick up rocks, and still does, and examine them for traces of a past of which only dreams can be made. Oh so few people actually do stumble upon remnants of creatures that may have lain the seeds of our greatest legends of prehistory.

Cephis Hall, a self-described country boy, and his partner Sid…
