Review: “The Devil Takes You Home” by Gabino Iglesias
There's a simmering subgenre of mystery fiction that you might call dark crime or horror noir, a shadowy, disturbing niche occupied—on occasion—by such writers as Joe R. Lansdale and Cormac McCarthy. It's very much concerned with contemplating the darkest of human...
LOSER BABY Facelift
I published a well-reviewed crime novel last year—August 2021—that didn't make much of an impact on the reading public. I type this with great disappointment and regret because I believe Loser Baby is easily the most effective, intricate book I've written. Loser Baby...

Review: “Child Zero” by Chris Holm
Chris Holm's debut on the mystery scene back in 2012 was auspicious—at least to this crime-fiction lover. The first book of Holm's "Collector" series, Dead Harvest, came out in a beautifully designed paperback from Angry Robot. An homage to classic pulp fiction (in...
Review: “Everything Everywhere All at Once” Is a Stunning, Frenetic Masterpiece
Will there ever be a film more precisely attuned to the mood of 2022, post-pandemic, post-Trump-debacle, mid-social-media-addicted ADHD? Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert's Everything Everywhere All at Once is an adrenaline blast directly to the heart and cerebrum...

Ranking the Meats on My Central Texas BBQ Tour
I just returned from a solo trip to Austin, Texas. There's something I love about the area, despite Texas being the home of people like Ted Cruz. One of the things I dig about Austin and its environs is that it's an unlikely film mecca, from The Texas Chainsaw...
Top 20 Films of 2021 (and 9 Disappointments)
Heading warily into 2021, I wasn't a confident moviegoer. After all, 2020 had been a cinematic wipeout thanks to the global pandemic and its resulting quarantines. But as cinemas gradually re-opened, and I committed myself to attending as regularly (and as...
An Interview with Richard Lange
I still remember walking into Barnes & Noble one Tuesday in 2007 and finding a small, unassuming hardcover story collection called Dead Boys. I'd never heard of the author—some serious-looking cat named Richard Lange—but the dust jacket boasted enticing blurbs...
Review: “Another Kind of Eden” by James Lee Burke
The publication of a new James Lee Burke novel is always cause for celebration. I’ve been reading and collecting Burke for decades—an eye-opening proposition, as he recently marked the release of his fortieth book. Burke is perhaps best known for his series of Dave...
