Bound Up With Books Crooked Little Vein Psuke In honor of the paperback release of Warren Ellis’ Crooked Little Vein: A Novel, that’s what I’m reviewing this time around. I loved this book. My only complaint is that is was too short…I read it in one day, and that’s just not enough of this sick, [...]

Bound Up With Books The Riddle of the Traveling Skull Psuke Since there’s more than enough heavy shit going on in the world just now, this edition of Bound Up With Books is just for fun.

Bound Up With Books: Child of a Rainless Year

Written by Psuke. Posted on July 1, 2008. Filed under Books, Bound Up with Books, Child of a Rainless Year, Jane Lindskold, review. No comments.
Bound Up With Books Child of a Rainless Year Psuke I really enjoyed Jane Lindskold’s Child of a Rainless Year – it has most of the elements of fiction that I like: mystery, alternative history and magic worked in in an offhanded manner. Not that the treatment is offhanded – but extraordinary events are introduced in such [...]

Bound Up With Books Little Brother Psuke I had a couple of different ideas of what I was going to review for this column – and then I read Little Brother, and all other contenders just flew out the window. This book simply cannot get too much exposure as far as I’m concerned. It may be [...]

The real end to this story was Patron bottles bursting clear blue spume out of ruptured plaster walls; bloody footprints on tiled floors; throat shredding screeching that blended fight and fuck. It was her daring stare as she dropped down on all fours on the broken glass, makeup a dripping mess, leather boots laced to [...]

In this special one hour G-Spot, James Curcio builds a fragmented narrative through excerpts from various shows that he produced / co-produced over the past seven years, wandering through it as if displaced in time, in a fever dream.

“…that’s all in the past now,” he was saying, “From there, it was like a ball rolling downhill, gathering momentum. Even gentle footfalls can start an avalanche, given the proper conditions. Once it gains enough velocity…anyone who stands in its way will be crushed. What you need to understand…is that the history of man is [...]

“Steel tube frame, four-link rear suspension, did the front end with discs. They usually work great, but I should prolly bleed the lines again…The paint job, as you can see, is a camouflage bee pattern.” He cracked his thick knuckles a number of times, then continued. “Thought that up while drinking JD… Thought you’d approve.
