New review: Imperfection is a quick, slick, yet erudite read that posits six laws to explain how evolution by natural selection does not always result in the best of all possible worlds.

My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror #books far & wide.
The family trauma that pervades THE DAY OF THE DOOR is horrifying enough, but coupled with the intensely creepy events that occur, this story encapsulates "HORROR" in a masterful, terrifying way. Laurel Hightower has written a beautifully dark story about the Things that haunt our hearts. (Ghoulish Books)

Sometimes readers are awesome! Somebody commented on my review (https://inquisitivebiologist.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/poached-pb-thumbnail.jpg) of Simard's Finding the Mother Tree, tipping me off on this brilliant podcast episode of YourForest (https://yourforestpodcast.com/episode-1/2023/3/13/135-reconsidering-the-wood-wide-web-with-justine-karst) interviewing Justine Karst about the flimsy evidence behind the notion of the #WoodWideWeb #Forest #Trees #Mycology #Scicomm #BookReview
New review: Richly illustrated, Ocean Life in the Time of Dinosaurs justifies its place alongside existing titles by offering an entry-level book to these extinct creatures.

Hailey Piper calls CRANBERRY COVE "bleak," and although it is filled with numerous Horrors, I don't think it is. It's dark, but rings true: ultimately it's about persevering and fighting (both despite and IN SPITE of) the Darkness hiding everywhere that threatens to engulf us. A GREAT read. (Bad Hand Books)

Sometimes real life interferes and you spend Easter laying a new floor. So this review will have to wait just a tad longer...

Filled with slivers of nightmares and scenes from fever dreams, THE SKINLESS MAN COUNTS TO FIVE by Paul Jessup holds stories laden with evocative, lingering images. It will pull you into forests of fear where branches heave with webs of vivid verse, and every tree hides something behind it. Don't get lost...

The Earth Transformed is out in paperback today! When I reviewed it last year, I thought it was fascinating environmental history on a big canvas that is admirably cautious in ascribing too much power to environmental explanations for historical events.

New review: Part history of neoliberal economics, part manifesto, The Progress Illusion is an urgent plea for an economy that does not devour the planet.

THIS WRETCHED VALLEY by Jenny Kiefer is one of the most satisfying and scary "survival horror" books I've read. Innocent adventuring quickly ricochets into a Thin Place nightmare where weird wilderness & horrors run amok. It's creepy, fast-paced, and a fantastic, fun book to get lost in. (Quirk Books)
