Review: “The Turnout” by Megan Abbott
There’s a sultry, dreamlike quality to Megan Abbott’s more recent books, bringing to mind the gauzy images of, oh, Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides or Peter Weir’s Picnic at Hanging Rock. Watching Abbott’s extended interview in the Criterion Channel’s Adventures in...
Review: “Rovers” by Richard Lange
Let's get this out of the way, right here at the start: You're going to feel a strong Near Dark vibe in Richard Lange's excellent neo-western vampire novel Rovers. The book is awash in the same kind of gritty, sunbaked, sweaty supernatural grime that Kathryn Bigelow’s...
The Curse of the Head-Hoppers!
There’s a certain bestselling writer out there who’s a head-hopper. That’s right. He’s hopping heads like nobody’s business, and I see only a few readers calling him out on it. It’s one of the most infuriating and disorienting writing mistakes in fiction today, and...
Review: “Razorblade Tears” by S.A. Cosby
S.A. Cosby rocketed to crime-fiction stardom in 2020, despite the pandemic’s blistering effect on publishing, with his novel Blacktop Wasteland, a visceral heist novel that offers a twist on the crime-fiction convention of the down-and-out criminal embarking—against a...

Eric Beetner Has Been Flying Under Your Crime-Fiction Radar … but Not Anymore
I became aware of Eric Beetner while visiting my usual southern California haunts a few years back—specifically, Book Carnival, a wonderful bookshop in Orange that I used to visit in my college years for signings with authors like Dan Simmons and Robert McCammon and...

Review: “Moon Lake” by Joe R. Lansdale
I’ve been a Joe R. Lansdale fan since … well, not quite the beginning of his career, but pretty close. I remember picking up his groundbreaking weird western Dead in the West at a Fangoria Weekend of Horrors around 1986, and that wasn’t long after he burst onto the...
