]]> 220263304 Here is everything you need to know about the enigmatic drifter who founded the famous arts collective Los Decepcionados in southern Mexico, and then burned it to the ground. In verse, essay, and found horror, the sordid saga of Lefty Smith's tumultuous visit to the Land of the Sun lurches back into the light of day.

"From the lascivious and debauched mind that brought you The Penult and Lips, Colin Gee is back with a tale in verse of fast friendship on a wild up, down, and sideways ride. Navigate overgrown garden parties with the boys as they discuss literary world domination, as Lefty offers free advice on shitting your pants, stealing another’s girl, or why punctuation, grammar, and spelling are of no concern and what an editor is for. Pour something pleasurable into your glass and sit back and enjoy the roast."

I was left in the lurch with this one. Lurching for the tissue box, lurching for the emergency cord, lurching for the broken door lock. Lefty Smith barraged me, defiled me, spat on me, knifed me in a juke joint, robbed me, and then knifed me again in broad daylight. I had to shower after reading this. Five stars.

In college and having spent most of his life avoiding his grandfather's trainings, he finds himself called to remember and practice his grandfather's ancient ways to save children from human monsters.
But every step into The Old Ways drives a wedge between Gio and Jess, the woman he loves and wants to spend his life with. Originally relishing the idea of her own personal Superman, she grows increasingly fearful each time Gio manifests an ability beyond her comprehension.
And when both he and Jess realize he can use his grandfather's teachings to force Jess' to spend her life with him without her knowing he's done so? Even though doing so violates everything he's ever been taught?
Gio realizes being able to do anything doesn't mean he can do everything, and that the strongest bonds on us are those we place on ourselves.
Content Search contains graphic scenes of sex and violence.
Reader Comments
"Carrabis knocks another one right out of the park!"
"Once again Carrabis takes us on a wild ride wondering how he'll bring it all together. Never fear, he does and in grand style."
"Gio's soliloquy about the use of power is something every industrialist, every government official, every religious leader needs to read."
"Carrabis pens a gritty paranormal psychological thriller that keeps you in your seat until you've turned the last page."
"Go ahead, pick a genre. Carrabis covers them paranormal, fantasy, thriller, true crime, magic realism, ... If you know the world is more than you can see, you'll love this one."
"Characters intertwine and grow in unexpected ways, especially ways that show a balance in all things; Great Gifts often bring Great Loss. It hurts you as a reader to see it happen on the page. That's good storytelling."
"Carrabis poses great philosophical questions in the guise of understandable, believable characters. Amazing!"
"Carrabis' Search proves that power need not corrupt, and absolute power need not corrupt absolutely."]]> 478 Joseph Carrabis Tempest 0 4.33

This is a delightful notebook that must be enjoyed in physical form. At a time of sharp and prevalent environmental crisis, climate experts pinpoint 'tipping points' as the key touchstones of irreversible ecological damage. Ultimately, it is through humanising our enduring connection to nature that we can mobilise not just action to protect nature but to actively nurture our curiosity of it. This book achieves that through the educational and the artistic. The myriad of sketches are charming and effectual. Added to this, the book actively encourages children to engage in nature via sections to record their engagements with nature. As such, I can see this book being used for building long-term childhood memories, a significant passion for nature and a cause to develop writing and observation skills. This a wonderful gift for children and comes at a time where the future and current generation's roles in stewarding our planet and its biodiversity has never been more crucial.

The Missing is packed with a plethora of unexpected turns. The book takes a seismic shift in tone early on (without giving spoilers). Treachery and danger are afoot throughout as if we're in a crime/mystery piece, but often the fantastical dark elements give one the impression of riding on a magic carpet. The plot is strong and vibrant. I think this book will very much suit children with wide imaginations, especially middle schoolers.

Healthy living is a multi-faceted problem that encompasses the personal, the familial, the dietary and so on. The UK government's recent 'smoking ban' legislation reflects a wider and growing societal understanding of the drain unhealthy lifestyle choices place on our economy and public services. Beyond that, healthy lifestyle choices are inseparable from our own sense of well-being and mental health. In the digital age, we are bombarded with health influencers and new emerging dietary trends - there are podcasts, videos, documentaries, cookery books, etc that all preach often conflicting messages on healthy living and healthy lifestyle choices. This concise handbook is engaging and actively tears down the information barriers we might see in healthy living. This book is a triumphant effort to disseminate important knowledge quickly and inclusively. Besides its genuinely commendable aims, the book is professionally made and has an integrity about it that is warm and welcoming. I was pleased with the product and felt the writer properly accomplished their stated aims.

Love is a vicious rose. Sorrell's second collection is both a scathing critique and a tender acceptance of the cruel duality of human love - be that romantic, familial or interior. Very much a continuation of his previous work, From the Mountain, the poet is concerned primarily with salvation - salvation from bitter love, from heartbreaking family turbulence, grief and a war with the self. Sorrell's style is deceptively simple. He coins aphorism, he dabbles in minimalist beauty throughout. The collection is well-rounded with a consistent motif, a central emotional location.

This is an engaging sequel that continues the legacy of its predecessor with tremendous vigour. The writing is fast-paced and as breathless as what Wells' managed with the original. It was like riding on a heat ray. Classical science fiction is simple and iconic, particularly in the Wells tradition, and the book expands on this formula with the return of the Martians. Now very much evolved to meet human resistance, there is a nerve-wracking, insurmountable undertone to the threat now posed. It is interesting to see the returning cast of characters, and indeed they are much more richly-drawn having to face such new and grave odds. Wells always had this knack for thrilling first-person narration - this is very much a continuation.

This is a fun story and well-suited to children 8-13 years old. Making the protagonist, Zack, 15 is a clever choice even though his emotional maturity and mannerism suggested to me he was younger. Readers can perhaps look up to Zack as an older brother. I think the book thrives mostly on its deep sense of adventure/plot. The high drama of a bull run. Man (boy) vs nature. I thought the book was written in a highly engaging manner and was particularly fond of the verb choices. The illustrations are fun and fit the book. Sometimes these illustrations are odd but charming.

This would be well-suited for a school library. Fun and straightforward.

I was struck by how tender and affectionate this book actually is. It's a collage of miniature items that form a complete and vivid life and a tragic loss. Embedded throughout is a philosophy to life - sisterhood, creativity, individuality. I think the real achievement is the ability to bring these feelings out of the simple - wall paint, monopoly, an affection for unicorns, a laugh. Then of course these weld together into a deeply moving and cohesive tribute to Justine. My favourite chapter was on the colour purple. I found the embrace of colours as a manifestation of grief to be extremely vivid and moving. The prose is simple throughout - the facts of multiple lives lived do not need to be overstated. Mental illness can often lead us to forget the person we once knew and the memories we once shared, this book serves as a thankful and celeberatory look at the little things that make people who they are, and what compels us to love them. Our culture places so much on the beauty of bucket lists, travel and the like, it is easier to forget that what makes us us is the much simpler things.

You can say that again. Kendall's prose operates at break-neck speed, suave, cinematic, highly-focussed. The dialogue is very sophisticated. A favourite simile of mine: "His voice croaked like a teenager taking orders at the drive-thru window." Some dreary urban grit, the extinguishing of youth and vaulting consumerism lodged in there.

Have been a big fan of short story collections for a long time, and have always valued how little passages, even single lines, can unravel a whole identity. A life in a microcosm, a single room, a daily commute. This book fits that bill perfectly. There is a kitchen-sink element: a small focal point that accelerates outwards to something more existential. Characters who shrink into themselves in aging and regret, see their environments do the same. Mundanity packs a punch in our lives.

There's a story which is entirely dialogue, which I found to be innovative. I think often times, this dialogue fits Kendall's intentions very well for an organic unravelling.

Sardonic and witty, I highly recommend people pick up this collection. It's a quick and bouncy, but still somehow graceful ride.]]> 4.42

This is not normally the type of book I enjoy, so was thoroughly surprised and pleased by the experience. It didn't take me long to read as I was discriminating about which recipes I thought might meet my own personal preferences. I can see how this book would help liven a family occasion or a friendly get-together with some unique and tasty food. I think the author very much accomplished their goals. While I think the book may have a predominately American primary audience, I also believe it can help shape and remould a more eclectic cuisine for readers around the world. Would highly recommend and look forward to what further succinct recipes Nourish puts into print.

I have no doubt many of these stories will stick with me for a long time - particular images, sequences of events which all lead up to a greater whole. I was particularly struck with "The Wallet", "House of Mirrors" and the title story. I am eagerly awaiting future collections which I have heard about on the grapevine. Highly recommend.]]> 4.83

review:
The stories of Dionne's debut collection encapsulate the fundamental mechanisms short fiction should operate by. Deceptively simple concepts that suggest more than themselves, stories that unravel into an entire universe from a small focal point - often from a single physical object (a postcard, a wallet). The central underpinning I found was the contrast between the exterior and the interior. Characters who are alienated, defeated, bitter and inhabit almost exclusively a deep inner world. Whether it is a life of childhood fantasy, sexual awakening, bitter old age, the mundanity of a failing marriage, Dionne successfully explores characters who feel a sharp contrast between themselves and the hand life has dealt them. It is then for these circumstances to unravel, for how different characters emerge from the same broad event and test themselves against the indifference and hardship of the modern and lonely external world. Despite the disturbing qualities of some of these pieces, which of course I adore, there is a persistently charming and whimsical quality also.

I have no doubt many of these stories will stick with me for a long time - particular images, sequences of events which all lead up to a greater whole. I was particularly struck with "The Wallet", "House of Mirrors" and the title story. I am eagerly awaiting future collections which I have heard about on the grapevine. Highly recommend.
