About this site...

I started this site mainly to post reviews about books I have been reading and reviewing. I also have found, being an extremely opinionated, blabbering, stubborn, Boston Irish woman (I hate to use that word because I feel it ages me) I feel the need to discuss issues that piss me off, or make me actually think about random things. I guess parenting and reading a lot will do that to you, especially if you were a former shrink and teacher who worked with violent children and their screwed up families. I often relate life experience into my reviews and grade them like a teacher. Maybe thats why I enjoy it so much. So whether you are an author, publisher, or reader looking for a new book to check out. I hope I can help you in some way.

Buried Tales of Pinebox Texas- edited by Matt M. McElroy

Buried Tales of Pinebox Texas- edited by Matt M. McElroy

This was an extremely well written book of short stories by twelve talented authors, comprised of stories that could be compared to the Twilight Zone,meets Alfred Hitchcock,and of course, meets Edgar Allen Poein the 21st century. There are stories to appeal to everyone's horror taste. Even if you are not a fan of certain types of horror genre, the dark humor and the fact that all of the stories are so unique made all of the stories enjoyable to read. There was gore, ghosts, monsters, and the unexplained, making the variety of stories well rounded. The book is well laid out, starting out with a transcript from a journalist interviewing members from the community of Pinebox as a way to acclimate the reader to the town, before diving in to the twelve stories. And the book also ends, with newspaper clippings that coincide with some of the stories told, which I also thought was a great way to finish off the book.
