Articles written for the California Literary Review:

  • Under the Dome by Stephen King
    Posted on 10 Nov 2009 in Fiction Reviews, Horror, Thrillers

    Still, despite the ending, this is King’s best work in years, a richly textured novel of people under pressure that will move readers and provoke them and make them want to tell their friends. Forget Blaze and Duma Key, the King is back. Long live the King.

  • The Child Thief by Brom
    Posted on 26 Oct 2009 in Fiction Reviews, Horror, Science Fiction and Fantasy

    There are moments of genuine mystery and magic, scenes where we are bedazzled and terrified simultaneously. The walk through the mist, crunching on the bones of those who strayed from the path has a Tolkienian resonance. The bloody battles that Peter leads in the real world echo those in the enchanted world. And the myth of the Horned One, who is Peter’s father, overshadows everything. For Peter is an immortal wild child who may look mostly human but who is decidedly something … other.

  • The Big Machine by Victor LaValle
    Posted on 03 Sep 2009 in Fiction Reviews, Science Fiction and Fantasy

    The Big Machine is what urban fantasy looks like when it’s grown up and the writer isn’t relying on paranormal clichés to flesh out an epic tale of good versus evil. Not that you can pigeon-hole this novel—it’s a dizzying slipstream mashup of genres and memes and tropes and legends wrapped around a cross-cultural love story. This is a story that has depth, richness; a heart and a soul. Above all, it has a soul.
